SUMMARY:Chicago HR Mastermind Meetup #9 (downtown chapter)
DESCRIPTION:REGISTRATION REQUIRED\nFee: $0\nFacilitated by: Erich Kurschat\nHosted by: HUB International \nMeetup #9 of the Chicago HR Mastermind downtown chapter has just been scheduled! \nUp to 271 members with yet another record-setting attendance of 41 HR Pros at our March 21st Meetup! \nLet’s keep the momentum going by coming together once again for another memorable evening of networking\, problem solving\, and actionable conversation. \nI can’t wait to brainstorm with you on April 25th. \nErich \nP.S. Spread the word! Let others know that you’re attending by posting the following to social media… \nJust RSVP’d to join @HarmonyInsights & @HUBInsurance for Chicago HR Mastermind Meetup #9. Check it out! #HRHotSeat http://bit.ly/HRHotSeat \n—– \nWHAT TO EXPECT: \n1. The facilitator will introduce all attendees to the history\, format\, and mission of the Chicago HR Mastermind. \n2. We will divide into smaller groups of no more than approximately 8 people. \n3. Select attendees will be invited to present a real-life\, HR-related “hot seat challenge” to their respective groups. Each group will then brainstorm questions\, solutions\, ideas\, resources\, and connections to help solve the presented challenges. \nApproximately 20 minutes will be allotted for each hot seat discussion.  Each group is encouraged to discuss 2 separate hot seat challenges\, although a deeper 40-minute dive into a single\, engaging challenge is also possible. \nNOTE: The Hot Seat Criteria have been revised based on recent member feedback! Please take a moment to review them\, and message Erich Kurschat via this group page in advance of the upcoming Meetup if you would like to propose your own hot seat challenge. \n4. All attendees will reconvene for a brief recap of hot seat challenges presented and closing thoughts from the facilitator. \nNote: Remaining time may be spent networking or talking further about the presented challenges. \nTIPS FOR SUCCESS: \n1. Always bring photo ID with you to Chicago HR Mastermind Meetups\, in case required by building security. \n2. Arrive on time to get the most out of the Meetup and honor your fellow attendees. \n3. Participate! Mastermind conversations are only valuable to the extent that attendees involve themselves in the process of presenting and solving challenges. As any mastermind group thrives on the engaged participation of its members\, the facilitator may solicit the input of attendees who have yet to contribute to the evening’s discussion. \n4. Bring enough business cards to share with fellow attendees. \n5. Invite fellow HR professionals to register for the Chicago HR Mastermind and attend the upcoming Meetup with you! Diversity of attendee background\, experience\, expertise\, and perspective makes for the best possible mastermind conversation. \nONE FINAL REQUEST: \nIf you RSVP for a Meetup and later become unable to attend for any reason\, please let us know ASAP via this Meetup group (either by changing your RSVP or leaving a comment) so that we may adjust our plans accordingly.

DESCRIPTION:REGISTRATION REQUIRED \nFacilitated by: Erich Kurschat \nChicago HR Mastermind Meetup #5 has just been scheduled! \nWe’re up to 124 members\, an impressive 23 of whom were in attendance for Meetup #4… and it’s clear that those numbers will continue to grow as word of our innovative conversation spreads. \nIn order to accommodate greater numbers\, we will be transitioning hosts from C+R Research to HUB International at 55 E. Jackson. \nPlease join me in thanking Margot Benish for making us feel so welcome in the C+R Research offices for the past 3 Meetups\, as well as Liz Yarger for volunteering space at HUB Internationalgoing forward! \nPlease Note: Always bring photo ID with you to Chicago HR Mastermind Meetups\, in case required by building security. \nWHAT TO EXPECT: \n1. Each attendee will give a brief introduction to the entire group. \n2. The facilitator will introduce attendees to the history\, format\, and purpose of the Chicago HR Mastermind. \n3. We will divide into groups of no more than approximately 8 people. \n4. Select attendees be identified to sit in the “hot seat” during the Meetup. Each hot seat participant will present a real-life HR-related challenge and solicit solutions\, ideas\, resources\, and connections from the group. Thirty minutes will be allotted for each hot seat discussion. Hot seat challenges must be submitted for consideration in advance of a given Meetup. If you would like to propose your own hot seat challenge for the upcoming Meetup\, please message Erich Kurschat via this Meetup group. Please see the Hot Seat Criteria discussion topic for additional information. \n5. Remaining time may be spent networking or talking further about the presented challenges. \nTIPS FOR SUCCESS: \n1.

Refer to the Hot Seat Criteria posted in this group’s Discussion section for additional information regarding hot seat expectations. \n4. Participate! Mastermind conversations are only valuable to the extent that attendees involve themselves in the process of presenting and solving challenges. As any mastermind group thrives on the engaged participation of its members\, the facilitator may solicit the input of attendees who have yet to contribute to the evening’s discussion. \n5. Bring enough business cards to share with fellow attendees. \nBONUS… Invite fellow HR professionals to register for the Chicago HR Mastermind and attend the upcoming Meetup. Diversity of attendee background\, experience\, expertise\, and perspective makes for the best possible mastermind conversation! \nONE FINAL REQUEST: \nIf you RSVP for a Meetup and later become unable to attend for any reason\, please let us know ASAP via this Meetup group so that we may adjust our plans accordingly. \nThank you for reading\, and I’ll look forward to seeing you at the next Chicago HR Mastermind Meetup! \nErich

SUMMARY:Chicago HR Mastermind Meetup #2
DESCRIPTION:REGISTRATION REQUIRED \nFacilitated by: Erich Kurschat \nAfter a successful inaugural Chicago HR Mastermind Meetup on August 2nd\, I’m eager to announce our second event! \nC+R Research has graciously offered to host us in their offices on Michigan Avenue. Hopefully this will be a convenient location for those of you who work in/near downtown. \nPlease Note: Participation may be limited. Confirmed participants will be required to show ID at the security desk upon entering the building. \nWHAT TO EXPECT: \n1. Each attendee will give a brief introduction to the entire group. \n2. Depending on number of attendees\, we will either remain in one single group or divide into smaller groups. \n3. Two attendees will be identified to sit in the “hot seat” during the Meetup. Each hot seat participant will present a concise HR-related challenge and solicit solutions\, ideas\, resources\, and connections from the group. Thirty minutes will be allotted for each hot seat discussion.* \n4. Remaining time may be spent networking or talking further about the presented challenges. \n* For this particular Meetup\, challenges may be general in nature. Challenges presented at future Chicago HR Mastermind Meetups may be required to coincide with themed topics announced in advance. \nTIPS FOR SUCCESS: \n1. Arrive on time to get the most out of the Meetup and honor your fellow attendees. \n2. Rehearse a concise introduction that lets others know who you are and what you do. \n3. Prepare a challenge\, setback\, or obstacle that can be articulated quickly\, allowing as much time as possible for group feedback. \n4. Bring enough business cards to share with fellow attendees.
