• Begin by partnering with a friend or co-worker! Planning your 'get together' with a friend is fun and means you each only need to invite 3-4 people to make it happen.

• When you invite others, encourage them to check out the Bring Inspiration Home website at www.bringinspirationhome.com and the topic you have chosen (or ask for their input on selecting a topic).

• Ask each member in your group to arrive at least 15-20 minutes ahead of the start time to allow everyone time to settle in prior to the session. Make sure everyone knows that the Speaker will always begin at the agreed upon time.

• You can expect the Speaker to arrive 30 minutes prior to the start time. Clear adequate space at one end of the room for the Speaker to set up.

• If necessary, arrange a place for your guests to put their coats, etc.

• Have fun creating an inviting ambiance (i.e. light decorative candles)

• If the 'get together' is in your home, make arrangements for the care of young children so that you and your guests can enjoy the session without interruptions.

• Plan adequate seating for everyone.

• The Speaker will stop for a 15 minutes break after the first hour. If you decide to serve refreshments during the break be sure they are prepared ahead of time. You may wish to offer your group tea, coffee (decaffeinated if it’s an evening session), water and a light and easy snack.

• The Speaker has prepared a 2-hour session and will need to adhere to the schedule in order to ensure you and your group receive great value.
