2. President's message

3. Upcoming events to put on your radar.

Hi everyone,

A 34 days old exco did it's first monthly meeting ! Stress was higher than usual at the back end as we adapted run sheets and figured process flows. But you would never have guessed it with the smooth vibes and music that greeted you at the event. I am grateful it went without a hitch. 

Simone Heng shared her experience in launching a community at a pricing point that builds B2C clients which can then help to get B2B clients. She spoke of the Tina Turner documentary as something that inspires her (hence what's love got to do with it !). Jit Puru asked everyone to do the 'spotlight' test on your digital assets. That is- who is the spotlight on? You or your clients? Don't worry if you missed it because the recording is on the Heights platform waiting for you.

Also, we introduced a new segment at the monthly meeting to celebrate the "Authors of APSS" - if you have recently written a book or have a book launch to share please alert Irene so we can celebrate you at the monthly meetings.

I also had a chance to share the theme of our exco "Rise stronger. Together" which you can watch here: https://youtu.be/XCDEKgJWXyU

Before I tell you about upcoming events have you done the 3 min survey yet ? We have around 50 responses so far and we need to reach 100 so please help the exco help design a stronger year by spending 3 min on the survey here https://www.proprofs.com/survey/t/?title=cjitp We will close the survey in the coming week. 

The up and down of Covid continues to worry us all even as we start to consider doing some in-person events and we will keep you posted on how things are shaping up. 

Upcoming events:

1. AM networking, 14th September (7 pm to 8 pm) https://www.asiaspeakers.org/events/associate-member-networking-party/
2. Speaker’s Academy - the 2 day MBA for speakers is back. It is one of the most highly anticipated events of the year as always ! 16th-17th October 2021 https://www.asiaspeakers.org/events/speakers_academy2021/
3. Monthly meeting, 28th September 2021 (where you will be able to invite 2 first time guests for free !). Look out for the speaker announcement coming soon.
4. A PMs networking event (Watch this space).

I hope you and your loved ones stay safe and we continue to stay strong and connected as a community 

Best regards

Dr. Tanvi Gautam

President, APSS
