[ChatAction] [Chatpeople2] Now What? An opportunity...

[Bridge To Partnership Kathryn Alexander MA]

Shannon,

Are these Six Conversations part of the After Chat? What time and how do we
connect? I have tons on my plate already, and some days are more open than
others. Most of my work is local, but my cards and network are global and
open to exploration and contribution, as will be the coming classes. I
don't know if that's helpful or not...?
Warmly,
Kathryn
