February Circles scheduled in Leamington on February 7th at noon, location is Main Grill in Kingsville.
The WindsorEssex Circle will be on a Thursday (then back to Wednesdays!). Next WindsorEssex Circle is February 9th at 5:00 pm, location is Windsor Yacht Club.
Join like-minded business individuals interested in good discussions, making connections and creating opportunities.
It is a social/business atmosphere to make networking simple and easy - and there is no cost!
What topics are you interested in discussing at the Circles? Bring ideas and experience the great positive energy at the Circle events.
One of my favourites is Social Media Marketing. I have admitted I'm addicted to LinkedIN and embracing Twitter a little bit more these days. (Thanks Brandy).
Another topic is Customer Service. What does your company do on a consistent basis to provide exceptional customer service?
When clients continue to do business with you and send you referrals, these are the best compliments you receive for your customer service.
See you at the Circles!
Connecting professionals to share stories of making new business relationships and creating opportunities.

Effective Leadership by Coaching
When and how does an individual actually hang up the skates and become the Coach?
Letting Go is the biggest challenge to face in 2012. This is a tough one juggling day-to-day sales and Coaching the Management Team. Some owners have let go completely and focused on strictly Coaching. Others have balanced both and made it a work in progress.
What successful transitions have you experienced to move to full-time Coaching?
Every day is a step towards the right direction and relinquishing day-to-day tasks to a great Team a little bit at a time. Coaching the Sales Manager and the Marketing Manager have helped with this shift of focus with success.
Letting Go of the tasks you enjoy and are good at is difficult, however, with the right coaching your team can accomplish them. The target of full-time Effective Leadership by Coaching is well under way. Thanks to the AlphaKOR Team, long-term clients and great Circles of people helping us continue to grow along the way.

Team Building
How does your company build a strong Team?
AlphaKOR has a number of fun after-hour events to continue to build our strong Team.
We currently have a weekly AlphaKOR family skate. A number of our team are on a soccer team with employees supporting and cheering them. Some of us are on a pickup hockey group and we are not ready for fans just yet.
As the President of AlphaKOR it's a whole different story when yours truly is on skates! What an experience to have a new employee coach me on the ice. This is a real example of increasing respect for each other leading to excellent teamwork.
Increasing the team spirit after hours has contributed to the Team working closer together during business hours. As AlphaKOR continues to grow these team building activities become more important.
On the business side, increased discussions amongst the employees and monthly staff meetings contribute to company wide teamwork and communication.
