9:30 AM - Stop Complaining, Start Living with Dori Eversmann, Owner of Resilient Relationships

It’s vital to recognize the hidden emotional need behind complaints and deal with them rather than being side-tracked and dragged down by all the griping. Most people deal with dozens of complaints every single day leaving them feeling drained, burned out, and emotionally ragged. The combined stress of all this relentless negativity causes stress, burnout, health problems, communication challenges, and dissatisfaction with life. Through Dori Eversmann's successful career spanning business and nonprofit leadership, she discovered that truly effective communication begins when we rise above complaining, blaming, and negativity. Discover how to recognize the motivation behind complaints and, most importantly, how to redirect these negative complaints.

10:30 AM - Elevator Pitch Workshop

Master how to professionally introduce yourself in a compelling way! You'll learn how to effectively communicate your ideas with confidence and impact. Discover how to nail that first impression, and explore some examples for different situations. This exercise will apply to anyone who is a job seeker, in business development/sales or anyone with natural curiosity about personal branding.

We meet at Hill Country Bible Church - Lakeline location in the North Auditorium. Use the family entrance by the cafe!
