What is Coffee Conversations???

A couple of years ago I was sitting with a couple of colleagues at a local restaurant, complaining about a marketing series I had attended. The advertising and sales tactics had seemed to be almost entirely focused on fear and scarcity, and I'm all about the abundance in life - and one of my friends said, "So start something yourself!" - and Coffee Conversations was born.

At Coffee Conversations, we are a group of women who primarily own our own businesses, and each of us at some point realized that we missed SOME of the benefits of working with others - brainstorming partners, accountability buddies, someone to cheer with us when we had successes. What we DIDN'T miss was the backbiting, the boss, the unrewarding tasks, the lack of opportunity to DO OUR OWN THING.

Coffee Conversations meets weekly for an hour. There are currently five chapters. See the meeting schedule at www.lesliecarleton.com/chapters_rgistration.html. Topics of discussion range widely over all areas of life, but tend to be focused around projects we've declared that we are working on. We use each other for accountability, inspiration and celebration.

Thanks for listening, and welcome to the Coffee Conversations blog!
