September Meeting
 
MHCC 3-Prong Approach
 
  1. Heal Personally: Don't have time for a formal meditation practice?  How about 3 minutes? Try
    "I AM That I AM Layer."  Last month we connected to the awakened self, understanding yourself more fully. This month we connect to the divine soul, who you truly are. 

    Mudra: On both hands, thumbs touch 1st and 2nd fingers, ring fingers touch each other, pinkies into palm. Mantra: "hhaayy hhee oooo"
  2. Grow Professionally: We learned the "Mastery of Marketing & PR."  See "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 you an opportunity to be part of an historic moment that will shift Manhattan's consciousness- and then the world's.  

We are among the light seekers: Integrative Medical Doctors, Integrative Holistic Dentists, Integrative Podiatrists, Homeopaths, Chiropractors, Psychotherapists, Nutritionists, Acupuncturist, Coaches and Body Workers- from Rolfer to Massage Therapist 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 September's meeting:

  • What we heard, "...I am inspired by the people, the presentation, the warmth, the sense of community...only amazing things are happening!" "I felt the evening was more like my yoga and meditation class than your typical networking event.  I felt calm and centered."  Need we say more?

  • We love offering options and each month provide great networking questions to replace the old, ineffective “What do you do?” Like asking, "What do you turn to when you need a pick-me-up?" You can learn a lot more about a person.
  • Our speaker, Dana Humphrey taught us "Mastery of Marketing & PR."  Read more in the "Monthly Expert Gems" below.
  • Our regular “Resource Exchange,” has been expanded to include our "Member Spotlight," "Raving Fan Club," "3rd Wave Club," and "Give & Receive Help."  What are the benefits?  You share what you do and who you are, develop testimonials, get marketing help in a MasterMind Group, and give and receive help from a generous community. Want to have your own MasterMind group? Contact me. Open to members and non-members. 
        Reminder to all at our meeting: CONTACT whose business card you selected to begin creating your Raving Fan Club.
     
  • Our Monthly Gift is inspired by our sense of oneness, caring and our hearts. It includes the quote written at the top of this newsletter.  As John F. Kennedy said, "...the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them."  We aim to help you do just that. Want our collection from past months? Happy to email them to you.
    ​​​​​​​
  • Thank you for your over-the-top enthusiastic feedback. Next month we will be treated by America's Mindfulness Expert, Michele Risa and Balance & Relationship Advisor, Naketa Thigpen to "Building Better Together" taking power partners to a whole new level!
We’re committed to helping you THRIVE and getting all of us a greater presence at the healthcare table and in the business world.  Are you with us?  Hope to see you at our next meeting.


Here’s to us bold innovators!
