Lions do more than serve their community - they create community for passionate people who want to help others. Here are some of their tips for club growth: 🤝 "Invite friends, co-workers and peers to participate in activities and experience the joy of serving your community firsthand. Side effects include bonding, team building, learning and having fun." -Lion Christin Jentzsch, Berlin, Germany 💡 “Make sure your club is open to accepting new members and the new ideas they bring." -Lion Robin Woolmer, British Columbia, Canada 🗣️ "You can never invite enough people or ask them enough times to be a Lion. I’ve met people who were asked five times before they accepted. They joined when they were ready." -Lion Dan O’Reilly, Illinois, USA 🌱 "Service, service, service. Your club can grow by engaging prospective members through service." -Lion August Valera, California, USA More tips: https://bit.ly/4akHkmg #MissionToGrow

What are JWC events about I hear you ask? Well, let me share with you in this video which explains more about our events, our vision, and also you can see what we've got up to in previous events too so you get the jist 😁 #communitybuilding #communityevents #communitymatters #buildingyourcommunity

The Heart of Community: Bonds Beyond Blood Earlier this week, I shared that family is my "why." But someone asked, "Is family just about blood?" My answer was a resounding "no." At The Sporting Club, this sentiment rings true. It's not just about the sport (those that know me, know it is not a particular passion of mine) - it's about the people. Being part of this community feels like being part of an extended family that genuinely looks out for you, both professionally and personally. The joy of the sporting events, where iconic sporting legends share more than winning or taking part, but an insight into their journey, life, struggles, and successes is just the cherry on top; the real value lies in the meaningful connections we make. Whether it's forging friendships, building business relationships, or simply finding a supportive network, The Sporting Club embodies the essence of camaraderie and that says 'family' to me. This is why I’m thrilled to be an ambassador for this amazing community. Here are just a few members of my extended family: Emma Brassington Ian Stafford Michael Ward Jim Wheat Tim J W Downing Wayne Manners Anthony James Rob Sutherland Logan Rowan George Stuffins Costas Kalisperas Julia Pizzichemi Sarah Chapman FCIM FInstSMM Jamie Baulch Bruno Welch Mark Howarth Sarah KloosmanStuart Waddington - Intranet Solutions - IOD Chair Cheshire Evelyn Hogan and so many more - I could be here for hours. The lunches may bring us together, but it’s the lasting bonds that make us stay. #TheSportingClub #Community #Networking #ProfessionalGrowth #BusinessConnections #Synergy #Ambassador #RelationshipsMatter #SupportNetwork

We are looking to grow with like-minded partners. Who are like-minded partners you may ask? Teams and organizations that believe in putting guest satisfaction at the forefront of everything they do! Organizations who operate at the highest levels of ethical conduct, integrity and responsibility! Teams and organizations who will never put profit above the health and safety of our guests! Teams and organizations who believe in and welcome collaboration and working for the common goal of the happiness and entertainment of our guests and doing everything in our power to make their visits with us the very best that they can be! Teams and organizations that value their #1 asset which is their team and employees. We cannot ever achieve great success without our own team of employees, and we understand their contributions and importance to our collective overall success. We want to partner with you and we are in growth mode. The entire continental US is within our range of operations (we might even venture to Alaska or Hawaii). We focus on stadiums, arenas, colleges, universities, professional sports, amphitheaters, convention centers, sports and entertainment venues, you name it we do it. If you are serious about taking your organization to the next level, we should chat. Putting the guest experience first is what we do. https://lnkd.in/eWWvVV2P #letsgo #guestexperience #partnership #thebestinthebusiness #collaboration

Did you miss NETBURKING BINGO? Yes you read that correctly. Last Friday at both Horsham and Hove Chai and Chatter, we introduced a game of Netburking Bingo in celebration of IWD. *Netburking* according to the Co-Women official dictionary is defined as: networking events that are primarily attended by misogynistic men, often found making crass remarks and speaking at an unnecessary volume. But don't worry if you missed it, you can join us this Friday for another special bingo edition at Chai and Chatter Brighton. You'll groan as you hear true accounts of what women have had said to them at networking events, be glad you're at an event where you won't have to suffer that nonsense, and to boot you might walk away with a prize! What's all about? Chai and Chatter is super informal and a chance to have joyful and involved conversations about life, work and everything in between. No pitching, just friendly faces, a good old mingle with other business leaders and a nice relaxed venue to kick back in, starting off your weekend in the best way. Where and When: Friday 15th March 9:15am at Alcampo Lounge Brighton. How to book: Drop me a DM. See you there?
