NAWIC January Meeting - Wed. Jan. 13th
2021-01-13 12:00 - 13:00
Join us for a Ted-Talk type meeting to learn more about great NWA organizations.

>>>>> Get your ticket through Eventbrite to get the Zoom meeting information <<<<<<

We are trying something new this month! Instead of limiting our meeting to one speaker, we have invited three amazing NWA organizations to introduce themselves and discuss their needs with our group. While we are in difficult times right now with limited opportunities, these organizations are still pushing forward and helping the citizens of Northwest Arkansas.

The Ted-Talk style set up feature 10-15 minutes per speaker and then 5 minutes for questions for each. They will introduce their organizations and what needs NAWIC members could fill or how they can help our members.

Here at Saving Grace we believe, if “Grace” can’t see it, she can’t be it! And that’s my job precisely, to help Grace ‘see what she can be’ by helping to plan and execute impactful Life Skills Classes, dream about and prepare for independent living, and my personal favorite—pairing Grace with her cord of three mentors! Our mentors are fierce, brave, and kind women like YOU who choose to mentor Grace for LIFE! Yes, I said life!

NAWIC November Meeting - Wed. Nov. 11th
2020-11-11 12:00 - 13:00
Are you ready to close the gap between dreaming and doing?
Are you doing so much you have lost hope in your dream?

Are you ready to take back your time and attention?

In today’s fast paced, immediate access, attention economy, it’s easy to get caught up in everyone else’s agenda and needs.

Human knowledge once doubled every thousand years. Today, it’s every twelve hours. No wonder we feel frustrated, anxious, and overwhelmed. We’ve been hacked!

A “hack” is when someone or something gains unauthorized access to a computer or a system. Humans get hacked too. It happens millions of times a day. Your focus is the prize—and they’ll hack you to get it. A pandemic election year is possibly the straw that has broken your tolerance for more.

How can you take back your time, increase your peace, and refine your focus?

What about your agenda and needs? YOUR dreams, goals, and desires?

You must become Unhackable.

Based on the best selling book, UNHACKABLE: CLOSE THE GAP BETWEEN DREAMING AND DOING by Kary Oberbrunner, Daphne V. Smith, one of Kary’s Top 100 Certified Coaches will teach you how to:

• Understand the value in the right kind of struggle
• Learn to release tension
• Achieve a state of flow
• Allow recovery in order to rest and rebuild

Every sustainable advance requires these four phases. With clarity and implementation taking back your time, energy and attention is possible.

> > > > ABOUT DAPHNE V. SMITH < < < <
Decades of experience in the corporate world, wellness industry, ministerial field, and direct sales provide Daphne with the ability to identify with a vast range of ages, experiences, and types of people. Presently a retreat facilitator, life coach, speaker and author of “What’s YOUR Scarlet Letter?”.

Challenging her clients and audiences to grow, she believes in and lives a life of design instead of default. “When I stop learning, I stop growing.”

Residing in Northwest Arkansas for over 20 years, she has experienced growth in both her community and in herself. The oldest of three girls from a highly fun yet dysfunctional environment, Daphne learned to rise to the occasion early in life. As a wife and mother, she continues to strive to become the best person she can be. “If I stop and compare myself to someone else, we both lose. I prefer instead to be the best me possible.”

Her professional credentials and accomplishments include:
– 3 time car winner with Mary Kay Cosmetics
– Certifications from:
– The Cooper Institute for Aerobic Research
– The American Association of Christian Counselors
– John Maxwell
– Wired That Way Personality Assessments
– And is a Master Level Igniting Souls Coach

Daphne encourages women of all ages to be wave makers by clearing their crap, embracing who and whose they are, establishing their own priorities and values, and equipping themselves to live the life they were uniquely and purposely created to experience. Living this way in turn gives others permission to do the same resulting in a better world for us all. “If you’re still breathin’, it’s for a reason.”

JOHNSON SQUARE: Johnson Square was born on the idea that great neighborhoods create healthy places for people to thrive, prosper and be happy. Porches and storefronts connect to shared sidewalks and paths, inviting a familiarity that makes neighbors in the truest sense. Parks, plazas and greens invite impromptu Frisbee tossing and offer comfortable places to gather with friends over a glass of wine. You can unwind from the workday with a bike ride or a walk to nearby shops, restaurants and welcoming outdoor spaces. It was for active people who actually enjoy getting to know the neighbors. And at the neighborhood’s center is the Square that connects everyone, creating a wonderful sense of community.

: : Breakfast and Blueprints : :
Gail Shepherd, Partner with Hight Jackson
Cori Miller, Crossland Construction
Reading blueprints is now part of your job, but you didn’t go to school for it and may not be a construction expert like some in your office. When working in the construction industry, many times your role includes tasks such as take offs for estimates, writing RFIs, or discussing construction projects over the phone. This means you need to have some knowledge of how to read blueprints.
Come gain an understanding of how construction drawings work with Gail Shepherd, Partner with Hight Jackson, and Cori Miller, Crossland Construction, who will direct an interactive blueprint reading workshop. They will lead a discussion and then groups will work through exercises given by Gail and Cori. Everyone will have an industry expert for a team resource for assistance and questions. You’ll walk away with a better understanding of how to make your way around a set of construction drawings.

: : Managing your Inner Critic : :
how to stop the rotten-tomato fight in your head

We all have an internal critic – usually a whole gang of them. And the inner critic holds us back, stopping us from doing and having what we really want and from being who we really are. Plus, it has a real talent for making us feel awful about ourselves.

In this program, participants will learn practical, immediately applicable ways to get relief from their personal gang of critics – ideas and tools that go beyond traditional self-care advice to “love yourself” and repeat positive affirmations. (Sometimes those work. Other times, they just make things worse – we will talk about why.)

(Note: Inner critic work can be vulnerable and personal. This presentation is structured to honor people’s privacy while giving them simple, highly effective tools to turn down their inner critic’s volume.)

Thursday Keynote Luncheon:
Be the Change – Major MJ Hegar
Major MJ Hegar reveals how to be a catalyst for change on a large scale, be it in your career, at home, or on a national or global level. When someone tells you that something cannot be done, she says, the only way to prove them wrong is to do what they believe to be impossible. Her heroic actions in Afghanistan—when she was shot down on a Medevac mission and was pivotal in rescuing her crew and patients, and became the second woman in history to earn a Distinguished Flying Cross with Valor Device—changed the perception of women in the military. And, her historic lawsuit against the Secretary of Defense opened the door for women to participate in ground combat, a significant step forward for equal rights for women in the military. How did she do it? And what can we learn from her experiences? A magnetic speaker, she combines harrowing war stories and powerful lessons on social change with practical advice on leadership, diversity, teamwork, and motivation.
Saturday Keynote Closing Brunch:
You Hold the Power – Judaline Cassidy
Judaline was one of the very first women accepted into Plumbers Local Union 371 Staten Island New York, and the first woman elected on the Examining Board of Plumbers Local Union No One. With her guidance, fortitude, and determination she ushered in the first Women’s Committee within her Union of which she’s the President. She serves on the Advisory Board for the Women’s Building NYC. The change that is required and necessary for women in our industry to grow and succeed already exists. Are you ready to activate the power that’s already in your hands? You will not want to miss our Closing Keynote Brunch Speaker, Judaline Cassidy.
