It’s completely normal to be nervous before your first RealRoots event! We hired you because we know you’ll do great, but below are some tips/tricks if you’re feeling anxious:

• 🧐 Acknowledge Your Feelings. Remember that it’s normal to feel nervous! Share this with the group if you’re comfortable; vulnerability can create connection and the ladies you’re leading are likely all feeling the same!
• 🥰 Remember that you were chosen to lead due to your warm energy and natural charisma. Our team carefully reviews all guide applications and we noticed your clear communication skills and high EQ. Just be yourself and don’t forget to honor your own strengths!
• 📖 Prepare for your Meet and Greet by reading through the agenda. You can find all the agendas for the Meet and Greet’s here (they’re different for specific identity groups)
• 👋 Say hi in the group chat. Feel free to message your group before the Meet and Greet to introduce yourself and virtually meet everyone! The group chat can be found in the RealRoots app
• 💬 Reach out to our guide chat to get advice from previous guides. You’re not alone and we have a whole community of guides that have your back in the Heylo group we emailed you. You can also always email [email protected] with any questions/concerns.

You’ll do great! Guiding can definitely be nerve-wracking ahead of time, but once you’re there and surrounded by engaged women all connecting with one another you’ll be able to see how beautiful of an experience this can be!
