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.

​

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
