Calling all women registered on the course who live in Melbourne...
A few of us met at Steve's office on the weekend and came up the the idea of forming a group to meet once-a-month-ish to have a coffee and chat over our experiences so far. The idea being to start developing a network of people to voice our ideas to who don't think we're crazy!
We wanted to limit it to women because we recgonise that women might find it easier to relate with other women and because we tend to be in the minority within these circles. We would encourage the guys on the course to form a men's group!!
So far the group has one from Croydon, one from Kew, one from (I think) Bentleigh? and I'm in Mont Albert.
Maybe we could catch up in Glen Iris (open to ideas of somewhere more central).
Perhaps use the forum to express interest and if you're happy to, write down where you live and we can tee something up.
Hope everyone's having a good week,
Claire
Howdy, im in croydon north and would love to meet up with others doing the course. Would depend where and when of course as i have two kids id have to organise a babysitter for, but sounds like a great networking opportunity !! hope everyone is enjoying the course as much as i am!! x Natalie
I would be very interested in this group. I live in Toorak and work on St Kilda Road. Hope you get some good responses.
Cheers

Hi, I am in Croydon Also and would love to discuss as I feel like I am hitting brick walls.
Thanks

hi Simone, just wanted to say i know exactly how you feel. I started so enthusiastically and now trying to work my way through the assessment of module one, i feel myself getting flustered ! i have forgotten how to study and make my brain 'think' and construct 'meaningful sentences'. ive had a really down week :-( Some of the calculations have thrown me completely ! Im trying to change my mindset, but i think a group session would be great to help me get back on track.
Hi eilatan, I know how you feel, I finished module 1 by doing 10 minutes a day, and taking a break when it got all too hard. I too found my brain was not in study and write mode. Brushing up on my very rusty excel skills was anxiety provoking, but I feel so good now that I persisted and got the hang of it. All the best with it.
hi all
sounds there are a few people in the eastern suburbs.
would an evening in the week work (maybe over a glass of wine) or a Saturday morning coffee?
Maybe considering there are a few out East we make it sort-of that way.
Open to suggestions.
Maybe first let's pick a day/evening.
Claire
Hi Claire, what a great idea. I would love to meet some others who are doing Steves course. I too am finding it difficult to get my brain th retain the information and to motivate myself since the XMas break so meeting others who are talking the same language may help me to focus better I hope! :) I am in Rowville and too have kids and work that I need to work around. I have Monday and Friday nights free at the moment but can shuffle some things around should this not suit everyone.
It is so affirming to hear that others are having some trouble with getting their head around things. I really want to understand all the calculations and eventually I do get it but have been a bit slack since Christmas and now need to get back into it. Unfortunately I am never able to participate in the webinars as there always seem to be something else on at that time. I have no children to take into account as they are all grown up and in Brisbane so any week night or on the weekend would be fine by my. Majority rules and I will fit in with the group.
nights are definantly easier for me as my hubby works saturdays :-( fri nights would work best, but could normally do any night but tuesday. look forward to it!
Hi also from croydon saw your post and would like to met with others who are in the PIT . Has the group made a met time and place
cheers kathleen
sounds like a great idea and definitely one I would be interested in joining - I feel a bit isolated working on this at home so getting together with like-minded women would be great. I am in East Brighton but my kids are pretty independent so can fit in with whatever is organised.
thanks to whoever thought of it!
Hi Claire
I would love to start a similar group in Adelaide. If there are to few women nice men are welcome.

HI All

Hi Claire
I'm keen to be apart of this. I left a post on a different forum also.
I'm pretty easy going with days/times.
Can you please let me know when your catching up again.

I am new to the course, feeling exciting but concerning my limited knowledge. Your suggestion is fantastic idea and provides great encouragement. I come from Mitcham, if it is not too late to join. May I be part of it?
Thank you.

Hi Ladies, I know these posts are from about a year ago but I was wondering whether the group still existed / meet up? I started the course Feb 2014 and I live in Glen Waverley, Melbourne.
Would be great to hear from any of you.
Cheers,
