January Round-Up
Well, it's been a busy first month for us at confidencecollaborative - and now we'd like to welcome you to this, our first monthly roundup newsletter!
The year started with a blank white sheet, snow on the hills and opportunity all around. Then, as the snows melted and the water flowed, a flurry of all the planned and unplanned activities and events of life came together and now - already - the first chapter of 2023 is written! How was it for you? From Confidence Collaborative perspective, so far we have...
* launched the new CC Club - sharing the site, including the Library and the Coaching Suite, with around 100 members to date and continually refining as we go.
*gained new followers on LinkedIn and Facebook
*published new content every week, adding posts on psychological safety and performance appraisals for example, and associated tools added to the library
*trialled a group coaching method that we intend to make available soon - email us to register your interest
*created some new marketing videos that we will be sharing soon
*held our first lunchtime live free event of 2023 on managing your performance reviews (- if you missed it you can read the write-up here or watch out for the video going in the Library this week).
*made connections and refined plans for future CC Club content and features
*completed our first in-person meetup and Confidence Collaborative Challenge - this was an exciting outdoor adventure to take us beyond our comfort zone. (More on this to come later!)
And we've only just begun!

4.) Get Involved - We will be soon be adding some book reviews and additional resource recommendations to the CC Club pages. We want the Confidence Collaborative to be a real community and see this section as a great opportunity for you to get involved in shaping the membership further and support each other with shared learning!
