I often get calls, LinkedIn DM’s, texts, or emails asking for coffee chats (note – I’m a tea granny). These invitations usually come from folks with a spark of an idea for a business, a career challenge, or just the overwhelming juggle of life’s demands. I love these one-on-one connections—truly, they light me up (and give me a chance to sip my Orange Pekoe). But as much as I wish I could say yes to every single chat, my calendar doesn’t always play along.
One of my core purposes in life is to help people discover and follow their purpose. And I want to find the time to meet with all of you amazing people—but reality says otherwise. That’s where some brilliant advice from @Katrhyn (RaRa) Asaro Mayers (The Bridge Empowers) came in yesterday: Why not start a group session?
So, starting in the New Year, I’m thrilled to introduce Spill the Tea with Cara, a collaboration between The Apiary and The Talent Strategy Collective. Whether navigating a career change, brewing up a business idea, or just needing a little guidance, this is your chance to connect with me and others walking similar paths.
- In Person: First Wednesday of every month, 12 PM–1 PM (starting Jan 8, because Jan 1 is a holiday)
49 Lake Street, St. Catharines, ON - Online: January 8 Kickoff Session: Join on Zoom then Every First Wednesday of the Month beginning February 5: Join on Zoom
Whether you drop in once or become a regular, this will be a casual, open space to share what’s going on in your world. I’ll give you insights (where I can), suggest a book or two (or seven), and ask a few thought-provoking questions. Hopefully, you’ll leave with that nugget of wisdom you’ve been looking for.
Now, while you brew yourself a cup of something comforting, dive into this week’s Hive Network Weekly Job Roundup— here’s the tea on the career and experiential ed opportunities from across the country.
