Online Training Classes - Don't forget!

[dannyzmom]

If you take all the classes you get a special ribbon at NC. I finished my last 4 last night while DH was at work and the kids were at their Dad's house. I had a quiet evening at home with the computer :)

[bethcooks4u]

Someone said if you took them earlier you would have to retake them to get the ribbon - do you know if that's true?

[DebbieJ]

I don't think that's true, Beth.

One more to go for me....

[SusanBP0129]

When is the deadline?
May 31st?

[finley1991]

Even if you do retake them, it doesn't change the original date of when you first took them. I think we need to only take them once.

My NED said at Leadership (I think it was her) that when they announced the green ribbon for leadership, there was a 40% spike in consultants taking the online courses and the majority of the 40% were upper level directors who had never taken them. I found that very interesting!

That doesn't surprise me. I know I jammed them all in right before leadership to get the darn ribbon. :D Recognition junkie that I am....

Ha! I call myself a Ribbon Whore!! LOL I JUST LOVE RIBBONS &
RECONGNITION!! :D

[DebbieJ]

yeah, I normally call myself a recognition whore, but I thought I'd go easy on it here... :D:D

[finley1991]

I'm a total junkie too... just dangle a carrot in front of me and I HAVE to have it!!!!! That's why my basement is full of sell-a-thon products!!!!!

I choose, though, to look at it as being an "inspiration" to my team by earning what I can!!!! :)

(Hope that wasn't too much BS to share with everyone!) ;)

We are fond of BS!!!!:D I am one of the 40%!!! I had heard everyone tell me they are really good and I was very impressed. I need to keep taking them...I need all the recognition I can get!!! I earned TPC 2 years ago and I need some bit of comfort for not earning it again this year:cry:!!!

[SusanBP0129]

Is the deadline May 31st?

[pampmomof3]

It's sad to say but I haven't taken one! :eek:I know, I know that i'll be doing them all b/c I am also a recognition junkie!!!

It says in last weeks newswire that the deadline is June 12th. How many classes are there?

[DebbieJ]

now you'll have to take 10 Kristi! :D

[pampmomof3]

Oh jeez!! Well, I only have one more day of working for the chiropractor so I can do it while the boys are in school!

[legacypc46]

Thanks for the reminder Carolyn...like everyone else, I like the carrots. :)

[pampmomof3]

Since I'm up sick, I have completed course 1, 9 more to go!:p

[pampmomof3]

2 down, 8 to go!! It's so quiet here that i can actually do this!!

[pampmomof3]

3 down, 7 to go!! Thanks for the reminder! I WANT that darn ribbon!!

I'll have my director, career sales and online training course ribbons!! YAY!

[pampmomof3]

Bring the laptop into the bathroom ;)
Seriously though - I hope you feel better soon!

[DebbieJ]

OMG! That is SO funny!! I've been up since 3:30 b/c my hubby couldn't find my laptop cord to take to work with him. Otherwise, it'd be a grand idea!! J/k

I did think about laying in bed with it but he has it today, of course!

[pamperedbecky]

I've only taken 2!! I want a ribbon too. I'm the same way as all of you. I'd better get on it.

Kristi, I hope you feel better! It cracks me up, though, that you were up doing these online courses. I want a green ribbon!!! Especially because I don't get the TPC one this year. :(

I'll finish the courses this weekend. I want one less thing on my plate!

[pampmomof3]

5 down, 5 to go! YAY! I'm halfway there in less than 12 hours!!

AND, I'm even feeling better! Thanks Carolyn for giving me something to do today while I"m sick!! :yuck: :sun:

[pampmomof3]

6 down, 4 to go! Man, I'm on a roll today. Hope my neck isn't mad tomorrow!!

[pampmomof3]

Okay, 7 down, 3 to go but now I'm done for the day or for now.

Since I have alot of volunteer hours into the school, I was invited to attend a volunteer thank you dinner. I hear they have great giveaways such as gift cards and such.

I'm taking my ds who is 7 and I told him that he's my date. It's so funny!

[pampmomof3]

What's funny is that if you scroll back 24 hours, I hadn't even taken one! To have 7 done in one day, I'm STOKED!!

Yay, I got laundry and 7 courses done! That's a good day for me!!

How's your tummy feeling today?

[pampmomof3]

MUCH better! Thank you! I've had a lot of immodium and pepto bismo so after 2 days of it, I'm finally feeling better!!

[ChefLisa]

I am also a ribbon junkie! I want that ribbon and need to get going. I have completed a few courses, but need to get on the rest.

Kristi, I hope you and your hubby feel better soon!

[bethcooks4u]

I've been taking them as they have been coming out so that I know what I'm talking about when telling my team to take them. I took the last one yesterday (missed that there was a new one).

I love that they have these. It is so much easier to "train" new consultants with these. I just assign the first 2 classes before our call and every time they have done at least 4 classes. The classes make our job so much easier. This also makes it easy for consultants to see that directorship isn't hard - PC gives it all to us!

I also love that they found a way to reward everyone for taking the classes (a great review for everyone)! Everyone can potentially have a ribbon at conference and we all know how naked those name tags are without any.:bugeye:


Another thing I tell my team every season is to read the Business Guide again. I do it too (well, at least once a year). It's amazing what we forget and what tips come back to the surface. It's a great refresher.

Thanks Pampered Chef! You make it so easy to do this job! :love0010:

[pampmomof3]

Well said Beth. I completely agree and am ashamed I hadn't taken them sooner but I there was nothing really driving me to do it. So, I did and now can't wait to tell my team to take them!!

THanks PC!

[pamperedlinda]

I've taken them all too! I'm so excited to have a really cool badge this year with lots of 'bling' on it!

And that RED director's ribbon is gonna look SOOOO cool!
Have you bought a dress for your walk across stage??

Since they moved more to business-wear I'll probably wear nice slacks and a sweater set or a short-sleeved jacket - something to hide my jiggly upper arm fat! LOL I paid close attention the big screen and the people walking stage last year to see what looked best on the 'larger than life close-up' and I learned that sleeveless did not look good (unless you have a very toned body) and also that bad shoes stick-out like an elephant in the room. I'm off to the Ann Taylor Outlet store this afternoon to see what I can find.

I can't decide whether to go with a dress or slacks and a twinset. I so seldom have the opportunity to play dress-up so I am always so excited to get to put a dress on at NC - LOL

[DebbieJ]

I'm going to wear the dress I bought for our cruise.

I have a black and white dress with a sweater to match that I am thinking of wearing...I am trying to find a pic of it online but am not succeeding...

[dannyzmom]

Ok - this is the dress - it's hard to see because I hve a shawl over me - but it's the only shot I've got.

[DebbieJ]

Looks cute. Is it sleeveless?

Here's mine. I will NOT be wearing pantyhose and will pair it with a pair of strappy sandals instead. Oh, and I'm working on dropping some poundage so hopefully I won't be so "fluffy" either. :D And I just got my hair cut too. A little bit shorter.

Yes, mine is sleeveless/strapless, hence the need for the sweater or shawl. Your dress is so pretty! I think it's perfect!

[finley1991]

LOVE the dresses!!!!!
