Small advice, Do trust each other, have fun while working, live the moment, create a friendly & Fun Loving atmosphere, invite new comers with welcoming arms ,if u aren’t able to complete your meetings, minutes & reports on time, it’s fine do it later, if there’s a circler not attending meetings motivate her don’t complain about it, if u haven’t been able to do justice to ur portfolio due to other commitments it’s fine, do Circling at leisure when time permits, but try...if u aren’t been recognised in a quarter it’s ok ,try again ,if not that’s fine too...if u aren’t receiving an award don’t loose heart..it may not be your time..that’s it..!! But there is a lot that u learn and take back in this journey ! So just chill..we are not building rockets ,v r volunteering to give our time to this movement after prioritising work, children, home, family and what not.. Circling is something u must enjoy and experience its journey...everyone is equally good..everyone is an achiever in their own way...everyone is a leader..It’s only that it clicks for someone because of timing, for some because of support, for some because of situation etc...it may not be the same for everyone...doesn’t mean other person is not good...each one here is a super woman ,a Wonder Woman...
