Welcome, listeners!

In this episode, CEO & Founder Moni Jefferson shares part 2 of her recent experience taking the AMSE team on a retreat.

Moni was asked about gathering a group of chosen AMSE military spouses to come together to sit through mentorship with The Gathering of Giants. For two hours, the military spouses were mentored by experienced and successful entrepreneurs. This was an incredible feedback session for the spouses. Participants also received referrals, and the giants validated what the spouses were doing. After the two hours were over, there were still conversations happening and connections being made.

When you show people who you are, that's when the magic happens because it's more personal. This is why networking is so important.

There will be a price increase for the AMSE Professional Membership this year. We still offer a Free Membership for those interested.

Welcome, listeners!

In this episode, CEO & Founder Moni Jefferson shares part 2 of her recent experience taking the AMSE team on a retreat.

Moni found the perfect spot for the team to gather together and become unified in the vision and mission of AMSE. The team shared personal experiences and things they were going through.

Moni celebrated her birthday while on the retreat, and the team was able to pull off a successful surprise with a cake. This made the birthday experience extraordinary. The time the team spent together connected them and the military spouse community, unlike anyone else in our community. It shared the purpose of why Moni wakes up every morning and does what she does.

Welcome, listeners!

In this episode, CEO & Founder Moni Jefferson shares her recent experience of taking the AMSE team on a retreat.

Years ago, Moni was inspired by seeing another CEO do this with her team and looked forward to the day when she would have a team to take on a retreat. She put the vision out there, and it finally happened! It was an excellent time for all that attended.

There was brainstorming, yoga, Escape Room, and more! As a leader, Moni understands that you must have the courage to listen to your team to grow. This retreat was a time of communication and connection.
