experientially based and interactive. Webinars are presentations and have no or little
interaction. If your subject is best presented as a webinar vs. a workshop, discuss your
thoughts with Kathryn before submitting your proposal.
2. WORKSHOP PROPOSAL
SUBMITTING AN ONLINE WORKSHOP PROPOSAL
To submit an online workshop proposal, send the following information to Kathryn in a
WORD DOC at Kathryn@CenterforEmbodiedConsciousness.com. I will respond to
your proposal within a week.

want it to be a RECORDED WORKSHOP. Recorded workshops have no participants
other than your workshop host – usually Kathryn. Members with Mac computers may
not be able to watch your recorded workshop. Your first choice date and time will be
chosen unless another workshop is scheduled at that time. If you would like to offer your
workshop two or three times during the month, feel free to propose multiple dates and
times and indicate how many you would like to offer. If offering it more than once, vary
it for daytime, evening, or weekend times – give 3 choices for each. Remember members
live in a variety of time zones. As you plan the structure and timing of your workshop,
remember 5 minutes at the beginning and 5 minutes at the end will be for the workshop
host to make announcements.

CHANGE? WHO IS THIS WORKSHOP FOR – WHAT TYPE OF CHANGE ARE

helps them – one business partner member workshop will be offered every month.

3. DO YOU FEEL THAT YOUR WORKSHOP CONTENT AND YOUR EXPERIENCE
AS A PRESENTER WARRANTS OFFERING IT TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC FOR A
FEE. YES OR NO. All workshops are FREE to FWC members. If offered to the
general public for a fee, please read the attached Collaborative Marketing Agreement. As
of June 23, 2012, fees for workshops are $22 for 1 ½ hour workshops and $29 for 2 hour
workshops. You receive 25% of the gross revenue from non-member registrants.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PANEL DISCUSSION FOR THE
THEME OF THE MONTH? YES OR NO. If you would like to, please read the
Collaborative Marketing Agreement. It will be on the 3rd Wednesday of the month prior
to the month of your workshop at noon – 1:00 PM EST. The theme will be the theme for
the month your workshop is in. If yes, Kathryn or Yoneco will contact you to confirm.
WOULE YOU LIKE TO PARTICIPATE IN A POSITIVE ABOUT CHANGE
BLOGTALKRADIO SHOW TO DISCUSS THE THEME OF THE MONTH AND
YOUR WORKSHOP? YES OR NO. If you would like to, please read the Collaborative
Marketing Agreement. It will be scheduled 2 - 4 weeks before your workshop. If yes,
send 3 dates and times you’re available for a 30 minute show - you’ll need to arrive
about 5 – 10 minutes prior to the show start time. Kathryn or Yoneco will contact you to
confirm.
4. COLLABORATIVE MARKETING AGREEMENT
Collaborative marketing benefits everyone! The more we all share about events and the
Flowing with Change community, the more we all benefit. When all of us participate in
collaborative marketing, information about you, the event, and the Flowing with Change
community reaches more people.
The collaborative marketing agreement is for the following types of events*:
• The panel discussions
• The Blogtalkradio show
• A workshop with a fee to the general public
A Facebook event will be created for each of these events. Please do the following with
the Facebook event:
• Invite any friends you think might be interested – or invite all of your friends.
• Share the event 3 – 10 times – either on your personal and/or business Facebook
page – approximately once a week. If you tweet – feel free to tweet or retweet it.
• When you see it shared by Kathryn or another person, like and comment on it!
• If possible, share about it the day of the event – a few hours before – or right
before for the blogtalkradio show!
• Afterwards, post the recording link for the panel discussion or the blogtalkradio
show one or more times within a week of the event.
Email your list:
Include information about the event in your emails or send a special email about it to
your e-list. If possible, send a special email about 1 - 3 weeks before and then another
one about 1 day before.
When sharing and posting about the panel discussion, I encourage you to share the names
of all the panel members (and their businesses). This way more of us get our names out
into the world.
Collaborative Marketing Works!
The more often we share about an event, the more likely it is that people are actually
going to see it and the more likely it is that the event will register in their minds as
something useful to do and the Flowing with Change community will become something
they want to participate in.
*If your workshop is only for the Flowing with Change community and you do not
participate in the panel discussion or the blogtalkradio show, you are not “required” to
participate in collaborative marketing. However, sharing about the Flowing with Change
community, the panel discussions, the blogtalkradio shows, any workshops with fees,
courses, or Kathryn’s webinars offered to the general public is appreciated!
5. What to Expect Before, During and After Your Flowing with Change Workshop,
During the Panel Discussion, and During a Blogtalkradio show
Before your Workshop
Within one week of submitting your workshop proposal, Kathryn or Yoneco will email
you to let you know that your workshop has been accepted and the date(s) it’s scheduled,
please confirm the receipt of that email and the date(s).
By the 7th of the month before, you will be informed whether or not you will be on the
panel discussion and/or on a radio show and which day for the show. Included in that
email will be links you can use to promote the events. Please confirm this as well.
You will be invited to the Anymeeting event for your workshop as a presenter. I believe
you will need to sign up beforehand with the link that is emailed to you. Please do so.
If you’re new to Anymeeting and FWC workshops, Yoneco or Kathryn will schedule a
15 minute “run-through” so that you know what to expect, how to share your slides, and
what happens. If you want to familiarize yourself with this experience, create your own
Anymeeting.com account and practice on your own. It’s free. Just go to
Anymeeting.com. I highly recommend doing this, recording your webinar, and then
seeing how you do. Obviously with people it will be different, but still you’ll feel more
comfortable with facilitating online workshops with some practice.
If you need help creating your slides or designing your workshop, Yoneco Evans can
help you for a fee. She actually trains people in this area, so feel free to hire her!
During Your Workshop:
Login online and call in to the conference call 10 – 15 minutes before your workshop
start time.
Kathryn (or your FWC workshop host) will welcome people as they arrive. You can do
the same. (Participants will have been asked to log in a couple minutes before your
workshop starts so that we start on time.)
Kathryn (or your FWC workshop host) will start the workshop exactly at the start time –
or one minute after – by welcoming everyone to a Flowing with Change workshop,
introducing you, sharing a couple of logistics, and then handing it over to you.
During the workshop you will “be in charge.” You can do what ever you’d like with the
time. Ideally FWC workshops are experientially based and interactive. Preferably,
you’ll share slides and be on video.
6. Plan on ending about 5 minutes before the end of your workshop time. Kathryn (or your
workshop host) will wrap up with a few announcements.
Recommendations for your workshop
• Include an opportunity for all participants to introduce themselves or say
something within the first 5 – 15 minutes of your workshop.
• When asking a question from the participants, either ask specific people to answer
it; go in order of people who are logged in and call on them by name; or ask
people to respond via the chat box if the number of people attending warrants this.
When asking specific people, always give them the option to not respond if they
don’t feel comfortable – or to respond if they do feel comfortable. Otherwise,
questions often don’t get responded to or only 1 or 2 people speak up.
After your workshop
Within 1 week, Yoneco or I will send you a list of the workshop participants and their
emails.
If there were any paid workshop participants, approximately on the last day of the month,
Kathryn will mail you a check.
During the Panel Discussion
3rd Wednesdays noon – 1:00
Recordings will be available afterward
Please login and call in about 10 - 15 minutes before noon! Hopefully, all the panel
members will be on video as well as the phone. (We’ll be learning how it goes the first
few times!)
Kathryn will both moderate and “participate” in the discussion. She will welcome
listeners, introduce the topic and at some point during the event she’ll tell folks a bit
about the Flowing with Change membership program – probably at the beginning, in the
middle, and at the end!
Kathryn will send you some questions a week or two before the panel discussion so you
can be prepared. There will be a slide with your name, picture, website, social media if
you want and any way you want folks to be able to contact you. This slide will be used
each time you speak.
Kathryn will let folks know about the rest of the upcoming workshops and how to
register for them or join FWC.
7. Depending on the time and what’s been said so far, Kathryn will either ask a question
that anyone can answer, open the “floor” for discussion, or invite attendees to ask
questions or make comments.
Kathryn will wrap up the panel discussion. Thank each of the panel members and the
attendees. Let folks know how to register for the workshops, join Flowing with Change,
or stay connected via email.
During a Blogtalkradio show
2 – 4 weeks before your workshop
Please arrive 5 – 10 minutes before noon. Kathryn will introduce the show and then
invite you to introduce yourself. She’ll ask you questions like…
• Why did you become a FWC contributing member?
• What do you like best about the FWC membership program?
• Tell us about your upcoming workshop like who it’s for and what they can get out
of it.
• What about this (your workshop topic) is interesting to you? Why are you
teaching about it?
• We’ll chat…
• Kathryn might ask you – is there anything else you want to say about your
workshop or the Flowing with Change membership program before we end.
• Kathryn’ll wrap up. She’ll let people know how they can connect with you, join
FWC, or register for your workshop. She’ll thank you and listeners.
The same link that is used for the LIVE show, will be good for the recording.
