Telephone Peer Groups
section header bar
Telephone peer groups are available only to TTN national members not affiliated with a TTN chapter (i.e., residing outside of a TTN chapter city/area). 

Each group will include five to seven TTN members from different parts of the country. The groups will focus initially on transition-related subjects, but may decide over time to discuss other topics. 

Groups will meet once a month for 90 minutes, on a regular day and time.

Group members call into a central phone number and use a Personal Identification Number to join the call. 

There's no charge to participate, other than the cost of the phone call. 

To sign up for one of these groups, contact Cathy Carrington at cathy@thetransitionnetwork.org.
New Groups in Formation

A new year’s opportunity to learn and meet some great women

If the thought of meeting women from around the country appeals to you…and you want to learn about fundraising…here’s a perfect opportunity! TTN is launching a peer group with a purpose – helping with our national fundraising efforts. Many of you are involved with several nonprofits, so you’ll be able to learn through TTN and leverage your learning with other organizations you care about.

We’re looking for a group of no more than 15 participants to meet monthly for 90 minutes of getting to know each other, getting tips on development and putting them into practice in:

* Fundraising events, starting with an online auction
* Raising money from individual donors, through a new Mother’s Day appeal and other creative ideas
* Researching corporations, foundations and individual donors

The group will be led by Board members Pat Daly and Christina del Balso, with Executive Director Betsy Werley’s active support. Join us! Send an e-mail to info@thetransitionnetwork.org to let us know you’re interested, and tell us where you live, what you know about fundraising and what you’re like to learn.

TTN Lawyer Peer Group

Are you a “recovering” lawyer or a lawyer in transition?

Join other “similarly situated” women who have given some of their best years to The Law. Consider how that choice of career has influenced our lives (for better or worse!) and what our shared history and array of special skills mean to us now as we open ourselves to future possibilities!

This Peer Group will meet by phone* for 90 minutes each month starting on Wednesday January 13 at noon and will be facilitated by Barbara D’Amico. Barbara was General Counsel of Chase Financial Services and is the Founder of Esquire Crossroads which provides coaching and consulting to lawyers, law firms, and law departments. If you are interested in participating, send an e-mail to TTN staff member Cathy Carrington, cathy@thetransitionnetwork.org with your phone number and the city where you live.

This is a great opportunity to introduce other lawyer friends and colleagues to join TTN and share the benefits of TTN membership!

*Participants will call into a conference number, and pay their personal long-distance rate for the call.

Success Stories Book Group

Join us for our new three part “Success Series” teleconferences* to consider and develop what gives rise to your most successful self!

In this “not quite a book club,” we will draw on the works of thought leaders like Parker Palmer, Daniel Pink, Twyla Tharp, Malcolm Gladwell, and others to help us explore the sources of our natural successes, identify ways to cultivate success, and plan for sustaining success day to day.

In anticipation of our calls, participants will be asked to read all or part of one of the suggested “Readers’ Choices” and consider questions posed to jump start the conversations and support personal success.

The Success Series teleconferences will be 75 minutes long and will be held at 12 Eastern on January 20, February 24, and March 24. They will be facilitated by Barbara D’Amico, executive coach and consultant, and founder of Esquire Crossroads. To assure that all voices are heard, participation is limited to the first 12 TTN members to sign up!

If you are interested in participating, send an e-mail to TTN staff member Cathy Carrington, cathy@thetransitionnetwork.org with your phone number and the city where you live.

*Participants will call into a conference number, and pay their personal long-distance rate for the call.

  • East Coast TPG Seeks New Participants

    A group led by Sheryl Miglio that was launched late last year is seeking a few new members to expand their group. The group holds a monthly call on the third Tuesday of each month, starting at 9 PM ET.

    Sheryl and the group are seeking a few new participants specifically from the eastern time zone, and welcome you to join (the next call will allow for introductions and an overview of what they've been discussing, where the group is headed.)

  • A group led by Mary Jeglum will converse in the evening on Tuesdays (the first Tuesday of each month) from 8 to 9:30 PM ET, 7 to 8:30 PM CT, 6 to 7:30 PM MT, 5 to 6:30 PM PT.  We started Tuesday, February 3rd with an introductory call with a few members. We would like to expand both the group and its dynamic- the group welcomes you to join now!

From Mary Jeglum, Facilitator: The group kicked off using a VALs model: Value-based, Action-oriented Life.  Each participant is focusing on finding/clarifying passions that bring financial and other rewards into our lives.  The process includes accountability to the group and brainstorming.  There also is a group icebreaker that is emailed before each call.  I welcome emails or calls from others before the calls. 

If you are interested, please email cathy@thetransitionnetwork.org  and we will put you in touch with the group of your choice.
