Pull out the pipecleaners and play-doh! It's time to find new ways to engage your audience! We've all sat through meetings, where we were read to. How effective were those meetings? Have we been guilty of hosting similar meetings? How effective are those meetings at engaging all of your learner types? Not very! In this episode, Wendy & Megan break down some reasons your learners are not being engaged and give you some new tools on how to fully engage your audience.

We want to hear from you!

We are coming off of a busy winter/early spring and are headed into an even busier spring and summer. It's easy to get lost in the stress and the burnout. It's time to hit the reset button so you don't fall off the deep end. In Wendy's words, "Check yo self, before you wreck yo self." 

We want to hear from you! 

What is your favorite way to reset? What is your bougiest self-care practice?

In a previous episode, we discussed changing county councils/ambassadors groups to work more for you. In this episode, we break down how to overcome and pivot our thinking when we aren't able to change those groups, or they remain unmotivated.

Well, it seems like better late than never is the theme for this month! I don't know about yall, but October seemed busier than usual! BUT...we have a brand new episode out now. This week, Wendy & Megan talked all things newsletters. What immediately comes to your mind when you hear the words "4-H Newsletter?" Sucky is the word that comes to my mind!

We say it every week, but we want to hear from you! Is your current newsletter working for you? If not, then what is one thing you can try to make it better?
