The “Why”

We went over our 4C Vision & Values exercise, completed a few years ago.

There was a general consensus that the Vision is still a good one, and the values just need to be adhered to in order to have an outstanding group.

11 of 35

The “What”

The group shared and brainstormed (see right photo) “WHAT IS THE REASON I AM IN THIS GROUP?”

Here are the major groups that fell out:

  1. Community & collaboration
  2. Creating Space
  3. Learning
  4. Personal Growth
  5. Accountability

Recommended Next Steps

  • Randy to recap the detailed Future of 4C discussion and determine how to incorporate major themes into the HOW of the group for 2025 & how to elevate the virtual sessions to deliver more on the power of connection felt in-person
  • Randy to encourage members to practice tools learned & share stories of any actions taken and results noticed (this will help each other be accountable to integrating and have a more lasting impact from the Advance)
  • Randy to leverage members as advocates to invite in potential new members identified
