How to Make More Money

The Education slot takes place near the start of every BNI meeting. It is an opportunity for the group to learn or refresh ideas for better networking. The Education Coordinator is Christopher Hall.

  1. Each member is on the rota to present the Education slot.
  2. If you will be away when it is your turn on the rota you must swap with another member.
    That means: you don't ask the Education Coordinator to fix it! You simply arrange with another member to swap.
  3. The Director will introduce the Education Person for that meeting e.g. "And now, the Education Slot".
  4. As Education Person for the day you introduce yourself and briefly say what the Education slot is (example below). Then present for up to 5 minutes the networking topic of your choice (examples below).
  5. When it is your turn to present the Education slot confirm your chosen subject with the Education Coordinator at the previous meeting.

When it is your turn to present the Education slot feel free to pick one of the following topics. If you would prefer to present an alternative topic please check with the Education Coordinator first.
