Community Involvement Andrea recognizes the importance of giving, whether it’s through charitable work, networking or helping others. She does this through her non-profit work at places such as Graceful Stitches and International Coach Federation of New England, where she is a Past President. She enjoys inviting others to participate in her giving programs – sharing the opportunity to see what is possible through involvement. Andrea organizes Pounce on a Project – a monthly call to action for people to take on that special project that never seems to get done. Building relationships between and among people is one of Andrea’s values that she clearly honors. Here are some of the activities she is currently involved in: Community Involvement November 20, 2008 Pounce on a Project VIII – 2008 Come join us for the last Pounce on a Project for 2008.

June 26, 2008 Pounce on a Project VI – 2008 Last month we worked on creating a sales procedure policy, getting office space back under “clutter control”, a joint venture program and a procrastination pile. In addition to great results on our projects we made a discovery, “The Power of Pounce”. We noticed that within 24 hours of “pouncing” something good happens? (A check comes in the mail, new clients show up, etc.) We talked about why this might be. Perhaps it’s because we are taking care of things that are sucking our energy. Come to Pounce on a Project VI (the last Pounce before the summer break) and test out “The Power of Pounce.” Join Coach Andrea on Thursday, June 26th, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. Eastern.
