What a great evening

Connection was at the heart of it.

What a great evening we had at our Beyond the Referral workshop. Nora Stanger did such a great job, and it was moving to watch the conversations continue around the room afterwards.

Nora is real, incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely cares about how people are seen and treated.

Just a little plug for Nora—if your church, nonprofit or organization is looking for someone to come speak or do a training with your team, reach out to her. She has so much to offer and can tailor her presentation to meet your needs.

This was the first official Encouraging Connection workshop, but definitely not the last. I'm already thinking about what's next—with Nora and some other great presenters—and I'd love your input.
