Carnegie Community of Practice - A Free Resource

[Announcement from he-sl listserv]


Hi all,

Want to talk about Carnegie?

Applying for the Carnegie CE Classification can be an isolating experience, but it shouldn't be. You have so much to learn from your peers. You have so much to share with them, too. You're all going through the same process at the same time. We'd be coocoo not to bond together.

Just wanted to make sure everyone is aware of that Getting Carnegie Classified hosts the ONLY peer forum for applicants, AKA the Carnegie Community of Practice. It's a holding container for experiencing the whole process alongside your fellow applicants. And it's totally free.

This community is yours. We have rolled out the welcome mat and everyone is invited. Inside, you'll find prompts that will help you break the ice with your neighbors, identify strengths you didn't know you had, and solicit insights to help you overcome the hurdles everyone encounters along the way.

Can't wait to see you there!
Heather


P.S. Want even more community interaction?

We also have a vibrant group that meets for monthly 90 minute video calls to share successes and offer sound-boarding and troubleshooting. We often pass around templates and concrete examples of materials. Participation is available through the Stay on Track with Coaching premium package.

P.P.S. In case you missed it:
