February Meeting
 
MHCC 3-Prong Approach
 
  1. Heal Personally: From a Deepak Chopra Event I attended: Sit straight, close eyes, hands in lap, breathe slowly for 30-60 seconds. Ask: 
    * Who are you?...Breathe
    * What do you want?..Breathe
    * Your purpose?...Breathe
    * What are you grateful for?...
    * Silently repeat full name...
    * Repeat just first name...
    * Repeat "I am I am"...
    * Repeat "Hay He OOOO" which means "I am that I am."
     
    This is a Self Care ritual.  What is yours? Hear what others find most beneficial below.


  2. Grow Professionally: Speed Branding.  See our "Monthly Expert 'Gems.'"

  3. Build Community: Using our approach to networking, people will know you, like you, and trust you. This can translate into 27 million relationships! For more information, come to our next meeting. Details below.
 
Manhattan Holistic Chamber of Commerce (MHCC) offers a unique opportunity for innovative healthcare education and access, strong community support and corporate transformation.  We offer you an opportunity to be part of an historic moment that will shift Manhattan consciousness- and then the world's.  

We are among the light seekers: Integrative Medical Doctors, Integrative Holistic Dentists, Integrative Podiatrist, Homeopathist, Chiropractors, Psychotherapists, Nutritionists, Acupuncturist, Coaches and Body Workers- from Rolfer to Massage to Physical Therapist...dedicated to heal personally, grow professionally, and build community.

To meet like-hearted people and experience the energy of our meeting first hand, we hope you will come to our meeting next month. Details below.  

A synopsis of February's meeting:

  • What we heard, "...the meetings are organic and you can be who you are!"  "...I am inspired by the people, the presentation, the warmth, the sense of community...only amazing things are happening!" Need we say more?

  • We love offering options and each month provide questions to replace the old, ineffective “What do you do?” You can learn a lot more about a person after asking, "What era would you like to have lived in and why?"

  • Our speaker, Sam Liebowitz didn't talk about branding he actually CREATED brands for people in the audience. Be sure to hear the wisdom he shared by reading the "Monthly Expert Gems" below.
  • We've expanded our “Resource Exchange” segment to be a place where people ask for what they need and generously receive it, AND grow testimonials from "raving fans." Wonderful examples are below.

  • A new addition is our Monthly Gift. This month's gift is the quote written at the top of this newsletter. (Want it along with our collection from past months? Happy to email it to you.)  Remember: as John F. Kennedy said, "...the highest appreciation is not to utter words (or quotes), but to live by them."  We aim to help you do just that.
  • Thank you for your feedback. As per last month's survey, we offered you tools to navigate the Branding. After tallying this month's survey, we will have an expert speaker in Building Teams. See our Top Ten Topics for results of the survey.
We’re committed to helping you THRIVE and getting all of us a greater presence at the healthcare table and in the world.  Are you with us?  Hope to see you at our next meeting.


Here’s to us bold innovators!

Speed Branding
by Sam Liebowitz  

Sam didn't talk about branding.  He actually created brands for people in the audience. 

An overview of the presentation.

1. Everything you have done has brought you to where you are now.
2. The combination of all your experiences gives you a unique perspective.  
3. Incorporate your own unique voice into what you do.
4. Authenticity is no longer a luxury. It is essential to your brand and success. 
5. Being true to yourself is the surest way to find your tribe.
