&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;ve been back now for a week from the retreat, I&amp;#39;m just trying to allow all the info to soak in and actually try to apply some of it as well, it&amp;#39;s been a&amp;nbsp;slow process but&amp;nbsp;I&amp;#39;m getting there &amp;nbsp;:)&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The retreat&amp;nbsp;was a wonderful time of learning, sharing&amp;nbsp;and bonding with the other team leaders.&amp;nbsp; We had quite a lot of discussion about the new network and were able to get some answers as well as ask more questions.&amp;nbsp; I think it will be a slow process of trial and error where the utmost patience with yourself, team&amp;nbsp;members, team leaders and network support will help ease the process.&amp;nbsp; Eventually we&amp;#39;ll have it all down and it will be like second hand :)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the meantime I am still taking as many training classes as possible, even if I&amp;#39;ve already taken them once before I taking them again, just to make sure this all sinks in.&amp;nbsp; If you run across anything at all that I can help with please don&amp;#39;t hesitate to send me an email, that&amp;#39;s what I&amp;#39;m here for.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;m planning on rolling out a monthly conference call soon&amp;nbsp;for all our team members so we can connect with each other, share our ideas, questions, answers and thoughts.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Have fun with the new network and have fun with what you&amp;#39;re doing for the animals. Try not to forget that the bottom line of why we all do what we do is for the welfare and happiness&amp;nbsp;of the animals.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Again please remember that I&amp;#39;m here for you if you need any help at all.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Kindly,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Jill&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
