PROGRAM
2021 OFFICIAL LAUNCH NEWSLETTER
We are delighted to officially announce that our PINKK Mentoring 2021 Program will launch as planned this month! We are accepting applications starting today!
As the Founder of PINKK, I am committed to making this a successful program for all this year. We are all in this together and committed to community support.
The ongoing pandemic and recovery reinforces our very real need for kind leadership and to be there for our community during these challenging times. It also further supports the PINKK mission of women supporting women from all walks of life. It matters.
Knowledge and Kindness are two key tenets of PINKK that are needed now more than ever. We hope YOU can be a part of our community. We have thoughtfully evaluated all and we will once again move forward and launch our program to meet the needs of our community.
We will be agile and adapt as we need to with virtual, on line or other accommodations and management as deemed appropriate. Of course, the well-being of our community is our first priority as always. This is no different. YOU can BE ANYWHERE and do this. We are expanding our reach and will accommodate all locations to be of service right now!
We are currently accepting applications NOW! Call for applications starts today!

UPDATES
How PINKK Will Reset & Lead in 2021 with Kindness
Our platforms of engagement will be both established and experimental. While we will continue in-person events once the pandemic allows at the right time, we will focus our efforts towards online channels as means to connect, provoke, inspire, instigate, and galvanize and powerfully spread kindness through storytelling and conversation.
As promised we have been offering on line webinars and zoom meet ups to connect and inspire with PINKK community and friends on a regular basis now.
Q1 EVENTS, COACHING, WEBINARS, MENTORING, CHARITY & GIVING, POWER HOURS, PINKK on POINTS & MORE
We will begin with our ongoing mindset of safety first and hold our events virtually and move into hybrid (mix of virtual and in person) and then later in the year more live events.
WORKSHOP: Healthy Habits Seminar: The 4 Secrets to Building Better Habits ( ON LINE via Zoom)
Tuesday, February 23 5:00 pm CST FREE for Members!
Interested in having more motivation? Finding a new job? Getting fit? Springing out of bed in the morning? De-escalating stress and anxiety? Doing things when you just don’t wanna?
All of these desires have one thing in common – they’re singularly dependent on building healthy habits. Further, COVID has flung us into an era of constant stress and unknown, and when we’re stressed our brains crave security and routine – two things that naturally soothe the nervous system and relieve stress.
Member priority and fee / donation for non members: We are thrilled to have Lisa Pachence, Life, Leadership & Career Coach and Professional Coach- Trainer back in 2021 to conduct this workshop.

FLYING BY THE SEATS OF THEIR SKIRTS
Have you wondered how your personal story can affect and inspire others? Flying by the Seats of Their Skirts is a collection of stories from real women that do just that.
In addition to inspiring you, we hope the book will also perhaps cause you to pause, reflect, and go ahead and write your own story. Be transparent, vulnerable and truthful as you share it with the world!
