LeadersRing™

 Join us…learn….grow!

The LeadersRing™ in WOVI, Inc. is led by the Management Council. It serves as a time of training for chapter leadership teams. It is also a time to share best practices with other chapters. Members who are interested in learning more about WOVI, more about WOVI positions of service, or more about leadership skills in general are encouraged to attend or call.

LeadersRings are held periodically. Some are via conference calls and some are live face-to-face meetings. Detailed information about the type of meeting and location of meetings will be sent via email (you may sign up to receive these announcements on the right side of this page) to all members and posted on the website. Visit this page periodically for details and watch your email inbox for announcements.

WOVI’s LeadersRings are always a great place to connect with other WOVI women while learning skills that will improve your personal, professional and WOVI life. On July 14, we’re holding another LeadersRing that will do all of that in spades.

The theme of this LeadersRing is “The Power of Leadership”, and it’s being led by WOVI’s co-founder and Chairman of the Board Pauline Shirley. Not only did Pauline have the vision to start and nurture WOVI, she served as only the second female President of Toastmasters International. So there’s no one who has better insight into leadership than she does. If you’ve experienced one of Pauline’s sessions, you already know how powerful they are. If you haven’t experienced one, you’re in for a real treat!

Registration will begin at 12:45 pm, with the LeadersRing beginning promptly at 1 pm. The focus will be Leadership — WIIFY (what’s in it for you). First up will be an interactive session with Pauline, where you’ll have the chance to ask questions and discuss all aspects of leadership, both in WOVI and professionally. Following that, members of WOVI’s Board and Management Council will hold breakout sessions covering the various leadership positions available in WOVI. Are you a current WOVI leader? You can attend a session that will give you tips on how to better fulfill that role. Are you thinking about becoming a WOVI leader but need information on the roles available and what they entail? This will help you hone in and make the best choice.

And because no WOVI event is complete without a MentoRing, we’ll conclude with the popular Speed Mentoring exercise. You’ll be provided with a booklet full of probing questions and pair up with other women, share answers, then move on to another pairing. We’ve done this at previous LeadersRings, and everyone always loves it. We’ll wrap the day up at 3 pm.

We’re heading north for this LeadersRing, up to Reba’s Ranch House in Denison. WOVI McKinney member Marilyn Bice works there and has arranged for us to be able to use this fabulous facility. So for those of you in the McKinney and Sherman Chapters, this is a perfect chance to come discover all the benefits of a LeadersRing. And for those of you who are farther afield, I have one word — carpool. Get together with a group and carpool to Denison! Carpooling can be so much fun, and you can hold a Leadership Team meeting along the way.

For those who want to spend extra time with the wonderful world of WOVI women, we’ll be providing lunch prior to the event. Lunch, compliments of WOVI, Inc., will begin at 12 noon at Reba’s House.

If you plan to attend the LeadersRing, please RSVP to woviex@wovi.com. We must have your RSVP no later than Thursday, July 12, if you’ll be joining us for lunch, so we can plan how much food we need.

We hope to see you all in Denison on July 14!

WOVI’s LeadersRing™
Saturday, January 27, 2018

The WOVI theme this year is “Purpose…Passion…Power… of Mentoring! At our first LeadersRing event for 2018 we will concentrate on the PURPOSE of Mentoring.What is your purpose? If you are focused on mentoring, your purpose includes forging connections, building relationships, and fostering open communication with your mentees. An important tool to equip you for all of the above is understanding Social Styles: the inherent different methods each of us use when interacting. What is your social style? What behaviors, attitudes, and motivations reveal our social styles? How can we use this information to forge stronger connections, build more beneficial relationships, and enable meaningful communication with others? Join us for another vibrant and illuminating WOVI LeadersRing to find out!

Angie Key is our guest presenter on the topic of “Social Styles.” Angie will engage and inform us as she teaches us more about ourselves and those we seek to mentor. Angie is an award-winning Distinguished Toastmaster, presenter, and a creative photographer.
