2022 KINDNESS IN ACTION in PINKK Style
Live with purpose in 2022 – and YOU do YOU! Let’s start the year off right. As promised, we have been offering online webinars and zoom meet ups to connect and inspire with PINKK community and friends on a regular basis now. Our platforms of engagement will be both established and experimental. While we will continue in-person events at the right time, we will focus our efforts towards online channels as means to connect, provoke, inspire, instigate, and galvanize and powerfully spread kindness through storytelling and conversation.
2022 is the year of the women and it is time to INVEST in YOU.
EVENTS, COACHING, WEBINARS, MENTORING, CHARITY & GIVING, POWER HOURS, PINKK on POINTS & MOREWe will begin with our ongoing mindset of safety first and hold our events virtually and move into hybrid (mix of virtual and in person) and then later in the year more live events.
More Events + Workshops in 2022
WEBINARS
WINTER kick off with PINKK member Christine Carr: February 10, 6-7: Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/pinkk-knowledge-winter-webinar-mindfulness-event-registration-247390600947
Mindful listening skills to build relationships both personally and professionally
- How does a mindfulness practice help you engage more fully in your work and personal life? Mindfulness practice also teaches us to use our breath to self-regulate in real-time allowing us to avoid getting sucked into unhealthy ways of communicating and take a pause when we are feeling overwhelmed or defensive. In a nutshell, mindfulness practice teaches you about yourself and this new self-awareness improves every aspect of your work and personal life.
- Becoming a better listener enables you to serve your client’s needs better because you are connecting with them and making their needs a priority. Active listening also helps us read a person’s body language and mood to better anticipate what they might need to hear from us. I have personally won clients using these techniques because I am now better able to drop my need to “win” them over and just respond to what they need.
- Build stronger relationships in work and life. Mindful listening is a skill you can master. Focused attention, active listening, open-ended question asking will be discussed.

Creativity Through Craft: Make & Connect – Spring Evening Workshop: April 26, 6:30 – 7:30
Make & Connect workshops are as much about learning new skills and techniques as they are about connecting with others in the community and expressing your creative self.
Yvonne Malone, our new PINKK member, whom some of you met at the November Power Hour, combines her background in strategic planning and marketing with her love of designing and making in a workshop for PINKK. This workshop transports participants away from their day-to-day routines (and possibly their comfort zones!) to tap into their creativity and express their voice with needle and thread.
