VIRTUAL Launch Party
#CSCLAUNCHPARTY
We were on Zoom for 12 hours on Sunday May 20th celebrating what’s new with Center for Sustainable Change as we officially launched our new community website, programs and services!
- We had a record number of people attend throughout the day! Lots of attendees popped in and out, while many stayed the entire 12 hours!
- We were joined by special guests Bill & Linda Pettit, Joe Bailey, Judy Sedgeman, Christine Heath, Annika Hurwitt, Elese Coit, Jeanne Catherine, Mads Qwist, Julian Freeman, Amir Karkouti, Richard Mayer, Dianne McMillan, Debbie Trent, Helen Neal-Ali, Ami Chen Mills and Dave & Chini Nichols. Many of them shared their What I Know for Sure stories about what they have seen themselves since being exposed to the principles. Those recordings will be available soon!
- We announced Helen Neal-Ali joining the CSC team as our new Social Proof Project Coordinator! She will be collecting social evidence and real life stories of where the Three Principles are being shared, and the experiential results. More info on this exciting project in the coming weeks!
- We gave away a coaching session with a Supercoach every hour for those who attended live! See the Winners!
- We gave away coaching sessions from Judy Sedgeman, Michael Neill, Linda Pettit, Jack Pransky and Bill Pettit, who donated his time live during the party! See the Winners!
- We released new What I Know for Sure videos throughout the day from Dicken Bettinger, Jack Pransky, Molly Gordon, Phil Hathaway, Patty Tanji, Robert Lilly, Helena Roth, Julie Gray, Rich Wilson, and Rolf Evenson!
- We ran multiple social media contests where we gave away copies of Elsie Spittle’s latest book, recordings from both last year’s live Awesome Event in Charlottesville, Virginia and our 5-Day Transforming Community from the Inside-Out Telesummit, a membership to Michael Neil’s Inner Circle, and a spot on Michael Neill’s upcoming Advanced Course! See the Winners!
- We ran a Website Treasure Hunt where we gave away sets of 3P books throughout the day to attendees that searched the new website for answers to questions! This contest has been extended through May 31st! You can still win a set of books by answering the questions below!
- It was a beautiful time and we’d like to thank everyone that connected, supported, donated time, prizes, love, and cheered us on. It was appreciated more than you know.
COMMUNITY FEEDBACK
The CSC staff rocked the day! The love from our special guests and participants was contagious. I’m so glad I was able to party with all of you! A big thanks you to all!!
– Mary Martin
A huge congratulations to CSC especially Terri (and the lovely website master, Joe) for the launch day. I thought the launch party flowed all day long. It was like being at a special reception and it was easy to tune in and out without disturbing the flow. There were many opportunities for insights and sharing – right where we are. Loved the variety of speakers and meeting new faces in the virtual. Seeing longer term virtual friends too! It felt so fresh and had gravitas. Thank you so much for a beautiful party. Much love to you. – Anni Poole
So happy that your launch turned out so successfully. You are all serious troopers for getting through a 12-hour nonstop day! – Jonelle Simms
I truly enjoyed the time I was able to be on. I am so grateful to you and to the entire team at CSC. I love that you give people the ability to increase their understanding of the principles on a deeper level without it costing so much that they cannot afford it. – Pam Hall
The meeting was incredible. I kept watching you keep the conversation going for hours and I don’t know how you did it. I don’t think I could. Love and hugs to you and everyone who made yesterday possible. – Gretchen Blais
What a great initiative, we are happy that we can be a part of it. Yesterday we attended for one hour in the evening, what a beautiful feeling it was. Love from Sweden – Kenny & Gunilla Engelbrektsson
I’ve been getting clear guidance lately to follow my heart instead of just my head and the emphasis on love recently is both inspiring and validating. Like you, I want to be in the spreading love business. I don’t really care what that looks like. It could look like formally teaching the 3Ps, doing coaching, workshops, and seminars. It could also look like drawing on my 25+ years of experience in information technology consulting, only I won’t just be solving technical problems or creating technical solutions, I’ll be spreading love. Thank you so much! – Robert Lilly
Love, love the website! The feel, the flow and graphics are clean and inviting, congratulations. I was able to briefly stop in the CSC launch marathon. Great stuff! You have my love and admiration. Congratulations of a fantastic launch and thanks for all you do! – Brian O’Malley
I loved what you did yesterday. It was so interesting to have Debbie before me and Amir after. Everyone speaks differently. Isn’t that amazing? And the revolving audience was great to see too. I certainly met some new people… So the party was really a great idea – well done you! I’m guessing it gives you some fantastic resources for the new site too. Nice!
– Julian Freeman
Terri, you are a gift! Twelve hours into your genius idea Zoom Party you were as sparkly and buoyant as those balloons over your shoulder. Thank you for bringing us all together in a beautiful heartfelt celebration. And thanks to everyone behind the scenes who helped bring it to life! – Linda Pritcher
You did an outstanding job on Sunday!! And you made it look so easy!!! You are one of the best ambassadors for the Principles I know, and I really really appreciate you! – Mary Martin
What a wonderful 12 hours I’ve just spent listening in to all these wonderful guests. Terri and Charlotte you have been amazing!! – Carina Loweth
Thank you very much for yesterday’s party. Even the snippets I was able to catch were a real shot in the arm. It’s so lovely to be part of this community. – Katie Allan
My dear friend, you were a ROCK STAR yesterday!! I could not believe your joyous, laughing manner as the hours went on and on for your 12 hour call! It was THE coolest thing since sliced bread (as my Gramma used to say!) and I’m sure you cemented some life long relationships by connecting people like this! I’ve got several new people I just love! Gretchen stole my heart, Tony cracks me UP, so nice to talk with Judy and Christine again, loved seeing Dave and his sweetheart, and on and on. BUT you were truly the Master Blaster facilitator of the day! It was GREAT! Thank you So much! I hope you are resting, reflecting, laughing and enjoying your day! Again, what a wonderful day! – Diane McMillen
