New Decade: Time to Turn on Your Dream Machine

It’s a new decade! Let’s dream big!

Noreen Sumpter came from England in 1985 for the love of a man who soon became her husband. A risk-taker, Noreen believes that life is for living. She is now a personal life coach, a career she chose after 15 years as a real estate broker. She came to realize that most people do not love their life and are frustrated with the choices they have made and how their life has turned out. Her love for people motivated her to become a life coach, and she has helped many men and women of all races and classes to live life fully and go after what they want.

One has to be willing to build confidence and self-esteem by owning their voice and speaking their truth. At this Lunch Lady event, Noreen will ask you to activate your dream machine. It’s time to look ahead to a new decade and dream big, envision your future, and take action to have the life you want.

What To Do When You Drop the Ball

We all have business setbacks, disappointments, and moments of being thrown off course by the constant changes around us.

Our options: we can stay stuck or use these moments as opportunities to learn, grow and create something better.

Let’s commit to moving forward into the new year with a commitment to continuous learning and improvement!

Jen Slaw taught us to think like a juggler: Set clear goals, embrace a growth mindset, and implement deliberate practice….all while staying flexible in the face of change.

She shared her unconventional career path from structural engineer to professional juggler to speaker and her 4-step framework for greater performance and fulfillment in life and work.

We had FUN tossing some balls around as we:

  • Focused & Prioritized efficiency and presence. Juggling is NOT multi-tasking.
  • Improved Collaboration & Communication. Teams should always be getting tighter.
  • Identified Stumbling Blocks. The same mistakes yield the same results.
  • Created & Mastered New Strategies. Commit to a growth mindset & continuous improvement.
  • Heard Inspirational Stories – from party-clown to Broadway!…and 3 steps you will apply to your own career growth.

 

“People left energized and inspired by both the actual practice & deep metaphors of juggling.” – Exponent Philanthropy

“Left a lasting impression…a memory our team will continue to share in future conversations.” – Bristol-Myers Squibb

The Secrets Google Analytics Can Reveal About Your Business

Understanding Google Analytics and regularly reviewing the activity reports is one of the most important things you can do for your business as it tells you whats working and what is not working in your overall digital marketing efforts. It can help you clearly define and target where and how you should spend your time in attracting new business.

Every business owner has pressing questions which include;

  • What do you see when you Google yourself or your business online?
  • How do your potential customers find your business website?
  • Who is visiting your website, and when?
  • What are they looking at when they visit?
  • How much is a click worth to you?
  • How long are website visitors staying on your site?
  • Which pages or blogs are most popular or drive the most lead conversions?

November’s Lunch Lady event went over how to answer these questions as we took a deep dive into the world of Google Analytics!

  • We reviewed some of the most important steps to improving and setting up your Google Analytics, Webmaster Tools, and Search Console properties and showed you how to connect them to your Google Ads account if you have one.
  • We also covered how to set-up regular reports that focus on just the information important to you, and get them delivered to your inbox as often as you’d like.

Learning to navigate Google Analytics is one of the most important things you can do for your business.

Using Thought Leadership to Grow Your Business

Thought leaders are defined as credible experts and innovators in their field, whose businesses benefit as a result of this visibility.

Lauren Banyar Reich has worked with authors, experts and business leaders from around the world on thought leadership campaigns to amplify their presence, build credibility and grow their businesses. The goal is to get our clients get more of what they want – clients, partners, market share, industry buzz, you name it – and more opportunities to speak on, or write about, their unique POV. In her presentation at September’s Lunch Lady Event, Lauren discussed the four pillars of thought leadership, how to provide concrete takeaway, and on-site exercises that will help you and your business to begin – or advance – your thought leadership platform.

For over fifteen years, Lauren Banyar Reich has been helping luxury and lifestyle consumer brands, professional service firms and business thought leaders tell their stories to key audiences and influencers. In early 2015 Lauren founded LBR PR, a boutique agency that combines high-touch service and impactful results with a transparency and authenticity that is unique to the PR world.
