Start the evening by making sure guests are comfortable and no one is sitting out in “left field”— especially important if there are newcomers to your circle. Ask your guests to introduce themselves and share a tidbit of information that will help the others get a sense of who they are, such as how they met you or what they do work wise.

Plunge into the topic immediately or play one of the following games to get the creative juices flowing:

Ask your guests to describe the postage stamp they would design if given the opportunity. You’ll be surprised at the imaginative images this will produce.

Make up an easy Q&A quiz like one focusing on fruit. Question: What superfruit is one of the oldest fruits as well as the richest in history and folklore? Composed of exactly 840 seeds, it’s juice is tangy, sweet, rich and packed with health benefits? Answer: Pomegranate.

You could award the winner with a Be fine beauty product —especially nice if it ties in with the game— such as a Warming Clay Mask made with pomegranate.

Take the lead and keep the discussion on track. Some people are great in groups, while others are less so. Following are some tips to help make yours a success

Prior to the meeting, draw up a list of talking points that you feel should be covered. They’ll also come in handy should conversation lag.

Encourage timid friends to share their opinions with a simple question: “What’s your view on this, Jennifer?”

Be ready with a gracious way to cut off the long-winded guests, like: “That’s interesting, Amanda. Now let’s hear what Susie has to say.”

Take a dessert or beverage break if the conversation turns argumentative or you sense the need for a change of pace.

Begin to wind things down about 15 minutes before you propose to end the discussion.

Decide on the next meeting’s topic and hostess.

If this was your inaugural Club meeting, ask everyone for suggestions on how to improve the next one.

Thank everyone for sharing his or her knowledge, experiences, and views.
