How does ASPIRE differ from other networking groups?
First and foremost, ASPIRE is not a networking group: It’s focused on education, connection, and professional growth. Dr. Christi Hegstad utilizes research, best practices, coaching wisdom, and more to design a curriculum that consistently helps members flourish in meaningful work and purposeful lives.
At the start of the year, members participate in a training to determine the Bold Goal for which ASPIRE will help them achieve and hold them accountable. Then, each month, members receive exercises, worksheets, and Coach Christi’s Challenge to purposefully move forward toward their vision and goals.
Although ASPIRE is not a networking group, in our annual membership survey over 90% of respondents consistently report gaining business or advancing their careers as a direct result of their membership, so that’s a definite plus!
How many people join ASPIRE each year?
We limit membership to 125 women to ensure everyone has the opportunity to contribute to meetings, participate in social activities, and fully engage!
ASPIRE members read four books throughout the year – one per quarter. What are the four selections for 2018?
In 2018 we will use these four books as a launchpad for our monthly discussions: The 5 Second Rule by Mel Robbins, Essentialism by Greg McKeown, The Artist’s Way (and The Artist’s Way at Work) by Julia Cameron, and Playing Big by Tara Mohr!
Some people join ASPIRE with the goal of reading more; others may not read a single page. Either way, you will still be able to fully participate in the discussions.
What is my anticipated time commitment?
Your time commitment mostly depends on how much time you choose to commit! At the ASPIRE Virtual level, since there are no meetings or commitments involved, your time involves simply however much you dedicate on your own (plus a 90-minute or so quarterly social gathering, if you choose to attend).
At the ASPIRE Success Club level, you can expect to commit 1-2 hours per month in meetings and gatherings.
At the ASPIRE Academy level, your group involvement will likely total 2-4 hours per month. You will be amazed how much you will gain from those few hours of discussion, meetings, and masterminding!
Like with most things in life, you will get out of ASPIRE what you put into it!
Who leads the monthly meetings?
In the ASPIRE Success Club, Dr. Christi leads most of the meetings; periodically, her team of certified coaches – who have also been involved in ASPIRE for years – will facilitate meetings as well. In the ASPIRE Academy, Dr. Christi leads all the trainings and masterminding. (ASPIRE Virtual does not include any meetings.)
Why is ASPIRE in all caps?
Each letter represents qualities on which ASPIRE members focus: Action, Strength, Positivity, Integrity, Relationships, and Excellence. This is truly an extraordinary group of professional women!
