Recap of HNG Meeting of November 19, 2010:
Our 42nd meeting of HNG had 37 people, this is 1 less than the previous meeting, and 4 of them signed the New Member list. William Lam was our facilitator. Two gave their introduction speeches.
There were no landings.
We had a speaker, Joellyn Schwerdlin, who talked about "Overcoming Negative Self-Talk Which Sabotages Job Search Success." She presented a simple strategy for overcoming negative self talk and beliefs, to diminishing their power over you, so your job search can be productive and energetic. This tool, called “The Work,” was developed by Byron Katie, author of Loving What Is: Four Questions That Can Change Your Life. If time permits, Joellyn offered a short coaching demo of “The Work” with a willing audience participant, Rochelle Rosenberg. She also raffled off a copy of Byron Katie’s book, and the raffle winner was, Matthew Golden.

General Information:
The networking group meets in Hopkinton, at St. John the Evangelist Church parish hall. The meeting occurs, from 10 to 12 noon, and will meet the first and third Friday of the month. The parish hall has a capacity for 250 people and there is plenty of parking spaces in the parking lot and on the street. Around the perimeter of the parish hall are rooms to allow us to have focused network groups or for any other purpose we need. We chose every other Friday to allow everyone to attend the Acton Networking Group or any other networking group, if they wanted, on the Friday we do not meet.
We will maintain our close affiliation with Acton Networkers by using the same list-server to share information between the groups. Any e-mails specific to the Hopkinton Networking Group (HNG) will be indicated in the subject line either by "Hopkinton Networking Group" or "HNG"; this way anyone attending these meetings will know the e-mail is intended for them.
We will follow the following agenda items:
Welcome
Landings (with doughnuts)
Announcements
New member introductions
Needs and Leads
Speaker(s), Workshop, or Focus Group

For those new members who give their introductions, this is what we would like to know:
