This month we are focusing on goal planning and holding yourself accountable to those goals using the V2MOM method and Trello! Putting these practices into action, eGuide talked with Emily Washcovick, one of our long time business coaching clients (and friends), to demonstrate how these tools can be beneficial for goal planning in your business and in life!

We have been talking a lot about V2MOM: a framework originally created by Founder and CEO of Salesforce, Marc Benioff that helps businesses plan out their goals, strategies, and approaches for seeing their achievements through.

One of the methods that the eGuide team uses to set goals is V2MOM, a framework originally created by Founder and CEO of Salesforce, Marc Benioff that helps businesses plan out their goals, strategies, and approaches for seeing their achievements through. V2MOM stands for: Vision, Values, Methods, Obstacles, Measures

2020 has been an odd, difficult, rewarding, and memorable year. We’ve all dealt with uncertainty, fear, anger, frustration, boredom, and a full range of other emotions. While there are many things that did not go according to plan in 2020 there were also some pretty great things that happened within the eGuide family. Take a look at what we’ve been up to this year, both professionally and personally!

eGuide’s number one core value is Do Something that Helps Someone. For Giving Tuesday 2020 we wanted to share some organizations that the eGuide team supports and hope that you will too!

Now more than ever, small businesses need our support. We’ve put together a second eGuide to shopping small in preparation for Small Business Saturday!

This year has been stressful, disheartening, and down right difficult to manage. With the added stress of the election, and coronavirus cases rising it’s easy to let negative emotions get the best of our well-being.

Take a moment to think about a few of the contracts that make up your life. When you wake up in the morning, do you look at your email or social media?

“She would like the baby brought to her room.” The nurse said as she entered the room. My eyes turned to the bassinet, looking at the little baby boy swaddled in a muslin blanket -- tiny little elephants weaving around him and a baby blue knit beanie on his head. This boy was meant to be our son and entered the world just over 24 hours earlier.

While reading Suzanne Collins’ latest addition to the Hunger Games saga, I couldn’t help drawing parallels to our own current state of affairs, what it means to be a leader, and the choices we all are going to make in the coming month. How chaos, control, and contract all weave their way in and out of our daily lives, and what that means for leadership and power.

Until a few days ago, I couldn’t tell you the last time I was on a true conference call. Not a conference call with video, but yes, the one where you use the “phone” app on your smart device and dial into a toll free number, enter your participant ID and have to announce yourself as you come into the call.

National Cybersecurity Awareness Month (NCSAM) has been raising awareness about the importance of cybersecurity across the U.S. for 17 years now, and is dedicated to ensuring that all Americans have the resources they need to be safer and more secure online.

Alicia’s background is in serving others. Her bachelor’s degree in psychology highlighted the fact that for all of the bad in the world, there is still a lot of GOOD.

Offering a mobile ready, no-nonsense approach to virtual events at a price point that may make your key stakeholders happy, Swapcard is a Paris created virtual conference platform that began to ramp up just in time for the pandemic to disrupt an industry.

October is not only the month for the emergence of sweater weather and pumpkin spice, but October is also women-owned small business month. The eGuide team has the pleasure of working with SO MANY women-owned businesses and women-led organizations. Without these outstanding women and their teams, eGuide wouldn’t exist.

If you can believe it, pumpkin spice lattes are available at Starbucks. Soon the shortening days will be noticeable, and before you know it we will be in the heart of fall. Fall for eGuide means a second round of fundraising events for nonprofits culminating in Giving Tuesday (December 1st, this year).

We wanted to take a second and recognize some of the wonderful local businesses right in our city! And who doesn’t like discovering new hidden gems in their neighborhood? These are all businesses that the eGuide team personally endorses. We have been to these establishments, we love them, and we want you to love them as well!

As larger conferences are navigating what to do for impending decision deadlines for 2021, we are all coming to terms with the fact that 2021 will be a year of hybrid events at best. Companies are itching to return to live events, and are looking for ways to create a curated, high-touch, experience for their attendees similar to what could be done in person. For that, we are happy to review INXPO.
