Hi, all!
First of all, happy Friday!
What a week this has been, and the highlight for me was yesterday’s HGG webinar event.
Alice, Jill, and I were BLOWN away by the amazing turnout and tons of fantastic questions — in fact, we ended up going over our planned hour just so we could answer more of them.
While those in attendance had some real-time benefits — we were answering tons of questions in the chat box while each other took turns answering sections of live questions that had been sent ahead (multi-tasking at its finest!)— all of you are going to benefit now…because we’re sharing the whole recorded session below!
We got so much amazing feedback, both via emails and social media, after the session, that it really made us feel incredible to be part of such an amazing community.
Here’s an excerpt of just one amazing email we received after the session:
“I wanted to take a moment to extend my heartfelt gratitude to each of you for the invaluable insights and knowledge you ladies shared during today’s Ask Me Anything session. Your expertise and dedication truly shone through and I am incredibly appreciative of the guidance and support you consistently offer within the community.
Being part of this community and having the privilege to interact with such empowering individuals has been both enlightening and inspiring. Your contributions are making a remarkable impact, and I am sincerely thankful to be part of this dynamic circle.”
As we wrapped up the webinar, we all chatted about how this is a stressful season for so many — but we’re all in this together, and doing sessions such as these helps us all stay on the same page.
Help us help you.
We are trying to help by sharing what we need and are looking for, and what mistakes to avoid, so you have your best possible chance of getting your clients included in these upcoming guides. Not just those we may do (though we each write for about a dozen publications, so that’s a lot of ground to cover in pitching — but also any guide you pitch, that any journalist is writing, these tips may help set you on a better path.)
Working together, may we all have the most productive, most successful of gift guide — and all! - seasons.
