Hi 

One more day until August, I've forgotten it's actually summer.

What have you been doing to entertain in the rain?

Please share your rainy day tips in the TEAM17 Facebook Group.

17 The book limited edition
Incase you missed the news, I've launched a fab new edition of 17.

17 blue limited editions will be individually signed and numbered. That means the sooner you order the lower your number. 

And even more exciting - all TEAM17 Members will be included.

It has lots of new content including 6 New Chapters. Now 17 in total!

There's going to be a special LIVE launch on 17th September!

You can pre-order a signed, numbered, limited edition NOW - just click the pic below. 

You’re in it!

Here's a round up of what else is happening in TEAM17.

Summer Challenge Part 1

I have been loving reading the 17 people who inspire you lists. I can see so much thought has gone into creating them. Mine has changed in the last few years. If you haven't shared your list of 17 yet then please add it here TEAM17 Facebook Group. Use #Inspired. 

Part 2 will be announced at DAY17 on Thursday 17th August.

STREAM17

Helen's first session last week was inspiring, it’s just an hour but it flies by. I learned masses about the impact of dementia, some incredible facts and because of Helen’s brilliant analogies lots now makes sense. 

You can watch the brilliant first session here.

Helen will be hosting the second Stream session tomorrow evening. 

Tuesday 25th July, 7pm.

Gill Heppell has set up a poll for her next LIVE cooking stream, so you have the opportunity to choose the recipe she will cook for us. It looks like a vegetarian dish is winning right now, but it could all change. You can vote in her poll in the TEAM17 Facebook Group.

Please save the dates to tune in LIVE, both at 7pm.

I was blown away by the amount of golden nuggets Donald McCorkindale shared with us on 18:17. I want a Stream Deck!

This week we have Kellen Ann who is continuing with her wonderful theme of gratitude and showing us how to compose a thoughtful note.

Please do your best to watch LIVE every Wednesday evening.

Thank you to all who have volunteered to share on an 18:17. If you’d like to volunteer please add your name to the list - even if you’ve done one before. We love repeaters! Here’s the 18:17 Google Sheet.

PS - Remember to save the date for DAY17 on Saturday 17th February 2024. It's going to be beyond brilliant

PPS - We’ve updated the promo graphic, the ‘interviews’ mic is a little less confusing 😉
