It's that time again, and I hope you've marked your calendars! On Friday, some of our VIP members will be hosting our much-loved drop-in session called the WATER COOLER. What is it? A chance to drop in (and out, and maybe in again) to a casual coffee chat in order to meet fellow CLASSIFIEDS members. Whether you are new to Skool or are looking to connect with more people, this is a great opportunity to get to know people on a more human level - no pitching, no selling, no facades, just human connection (because aren't we all just craving a little more old fashioned conversation these days?!?!?). Check out the schedule below to learn more about the theme of each hour and then drop in and out as your schedule allows! Oh, and please check the calendar for the exact times in your time zone... First hour: @Traci Poe of the Public Speaker's Growth Hub is hosting "Let's Just Chat" Second hour: @Faith Adebayo of Your Skool Building Bestie is hosting "Get Found For Free" Third hour: @Liisa Reimann of Funnel Forensics is hosting " Confessions and Connections: Swap stories about community ownership - the funny, the hard, the surprising, and the just plain weird." Fourth Hour: @Diana Frank of Unfair Advantage is hosting "The ONE Thing - Can you do it?" Fifth Hour: @Nathaniel Parant of Light Heart Vision Skool is hosting TBD. Think of it like your opportunity to take a break from work, walk over to the water cooler to grab a drink, and connect with some colleagues!

Ever wonder how you can let people know about your Skool community? Feel like you have so much to offer but don't know how to get people involved? Wish there was somewhere you were actually allowed to promote yourself and talk about your offer? Look no further! The Skool Classifieds are the place where you are not only allowed to promote yourself, but you are actually encouraged to do so! Like the Classifieds section of your local newspaper or the Community Message Board at the gym, this is the place to let people know what you do and what you offer. Here's how it works: 1. Invite other Skoolers you know to join the group using your invite link. The more people join, the more people there are to promote to! 2. You can post once a day only. This is to keep the group from getting spammy. If it's spammy, people won't read and you won't get noticed. Post as many days in a row as you want, but please do not post the same thing day after day - mix it up! 3. Make sure you add your post to the appropriate group/heading. Please see below for a description of what each group is for. If you don't see a group that is appropriate, message me. 4. Self-Promotion is what this group is all about, but please do not DM people with your offers. You will be removed from the group for doing this. 5. Introduce yourself in this thread, and then scroll up and find someone you have something in common with. Reach out. There are some really amazing people here! 😉 This is a place for us to support each other for our mutual benefit. Hate speech, offensive language, or general negativity will be deleted, and you will be removed from the group. *Please check out this post for more tips on how to get great results from your posts. And also this post by one of our own community members who has had great success growing his group through the CLASSIFIEDS.
