  Make Connections!

  Connections meetings are special opportunities available for our members to host to meet other members in smaller groups. Plus now our connection meetings are open to anyone interested in learning from our members! So You Want to Write a Book? Lessons of Discovery Life is a journey—every step, every challenge, every success is part of the path we walk. At our next WBOC Connections meeting, Barb Stone will take us behind the scenes of her latest book, a project rooted in returning to the basics of life. She’ll share the highs and lows of bringing her vision to the world—the unexpected joys, the obstacles she overcame, and the invaluable lessons learned along the way. Her experience mirrors the journey of anything we are deeply passionate about—whether it's writing a book, launching a business, or pursuing a purpose that fuels our WHY. This conversation will be a powerful reminder that every creation, every dream, and every goal requires persistence, resilience, and belief in the process. Join us for an inspiring discussion that will leave you motivated to embrace your own journey—no matter where you are on the path!

  Flipping the Script: How Jolts of Joy Fuel Success
  

  When was the last time you said, “I’ll be happy when I…”?

  We often believe that happiness is something we achieve after success - once we hit our goals, complete our to-do lists, or reach the next milestone. But over two decades of research in positive psychology have shown that we’ve had the formula backwards all along. Happiness isn’t the result of success - it’s the foundation for it.

  Join Jaime “JJ” Weisberg for an evening of flipping the script on happiness and success. Discover why achieving your goals doesn’t necessarily lead to lasting happiness - and how small, sustainable shifts can actually increase both happiness and your likelihood of success in work and life. Through interactive experiences and simple, science-backed strategies, you’ll learn how to infuse your days with “micro-moments” of positive emotion that create a lasting impact on your well-being, productivity, and overall fulfillment.

  Come ready to shift your mindset, spark joy, and embrace a new path to success - one rooted in happiness in the now.
