10-minute "spotlight" ideas?

[Eclipse Vancouver]

Ok, so we're scheduled to give out 10-minute "spotlight" presentation at one of our Chamber meetings this Friday. Been working out what we do and don't want to do. Any suggestions?

You could have everyone get in a circle and show them how to do a quick little neck and shoulder massage on the person in front of them. Gets them involved, makes them realize how good massage can feel, etc. And then spend some time talking about the bennies of massage and what you do specifically. Not sure the group massage idea would work well in a chamber meeting setting - never been to one... but it's a great way to get the audience involved and they won't forget your presentation!

Yeah, I've thought of that. However, there could be upwards of 40 people there! This is a BIG group, and growing all the time. I think it'd be a bit chaotic for that "round robin" sort of thing, although it would be great in a smaller group (and one that isn't going to be meeting in a restaurant that morning, LOL!).

I have considered having ONE person-- perhaps draw from the business cards of all in attendance, either that or ask for a volunteer-- to come and sit and let Hubby work on one selected "issue" while I talk. At the end of the discussion, they tell how great they feel (and for them to stand there and ask if he could "fix this other thing too" would be awesome!).

I am *thinking* that we'll focus on stress relief. Stress is such a major component of life these days, and it actually is manifested in the body in many ways that massage can help. Not only that, but PAIN leads to even more stress, which makes us compensate, causing more pain, etc etc etc. Bring out the "vicious cycle" concept. And we also have the Qigong classes, which are also great for stress-relief (I call that "take-home stress relief", since they end up actually learning how to turn their own stress hormones off).

ha! Yeah, that could be a problem!

The drawing and having hubby work while you talk sounds like a great plan, and one that would easily work in that setting.

Focusing on stress relief is a wonderful idea - alot of chamber members are business owners, i.e. overworked!
