Nov. 11th DESCRIPTION:Are you ready to close the gap between dreaming and doing?\nAre you doing so much you have lost hope in your dream?\n\n\n\nAre you ready to take back your time and attention? \n \nIn today’s fast paced\, immediate access\, attention economy\, it’s easy to get caught up in everyone else’s agenda and needs. \n \nHuman knowledge once doubled every thousand years. Today\, it’s every twelve hours. No wonder we feel frustrated\, anxious\, and overwhelmed. We’ve been hacked! \n \nA “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. \n \nHow can you take back your time\, increase your peace\, and refine your focus? \n \nWhat about your agenda and needs? YOUR dreams\, goals\, and desires? \n \nYou must become Unhackable. \n \nBased 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: \n \n• Understand the value in the right kind of struggle \n• Learn to release tension \n• Achieve a state of flow \n• Allow recovery in order to rest and rebuild \n \nEvery sustainable advance requires these four phases. With clarity and implementation taking back your time\, energy and attention is possible. \n \n> > > > ABOUT DAPHNE V. SMITH < < < < \nDecades 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?”. \n \nChallenging 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.” \n \nResiding 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.” \n \nHer professional credentials and accomplishments include: \n – 3 time car winner with Mary Kay Cosmetics \n – Certifications from: \n – The Cooper Institute for Aerobic Research \n – The American Association of Christian Counselors \n – John Maxwell \n – Wired That Way Personality Assessments \n – And is a Master Level Igniting Souls Coach \n \nDaphne 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.” URL:https://nawicnwa.org/event/nawic-november-meeting-wed-nov-11th/ LOCATION:AR ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://nawicnwa.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/f28dfef0f64165ed82f6d6d9019b4c21.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20201014T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20201014T130000 DTSTAMP:20260407T085459 CREATED:20200929T020600Z LAST-MODIFIED:20201014T145014Z UID:2136-1602676800-1602680400@nawicnwa.org SUMMARY:NAWIC October Meeting - Wed Oct. 14th DESCRIPTION:Help us assemble lazy susans for the local MS Society!!\n\n\n\nJoin us Wednesday\, October 14th at Crossland Construction to help us finish the assembly of the lazy susans built during WIC Week 2020.

You can unwind from the workday with a bike ride or a walk to nearby shops\, restaurants and welcoming outdoor spaces.

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. \nCome 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. \n \n____________________________________________________________________________________________ \nIf someone forwarded this email invitation to you and you’d like to receive these meeting invitation emails directly and to join the emailing list\, please email Hallie.Bussman@caddell.com.

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.\n \n\nIn 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.)\n \n\n(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.)\n \n \n____________________________________________________________________________________________ \nIf someone forwarded this email invitation to you and you’d like to receive these meeting invitation emails directly and to join the emailing list\, please email Hallie.Bussman@caddell.com.

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.\nSaturday Keynote Closing Brunch:\nYou Hold the Power – Judaline Cassidy\nJudaline 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. She will share her story and how you\, too\, hold the power to your success!!\n  URL:https://nawicnwa.org/event/64th-nawic-annual-conference/ LOCATION:Atlanta Marriott Marquis\, 265 Peachtree Center Avenue Northeast\, Atlanta\, GA\, 30303\, United States END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20190612T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20190612T130000 DTSTAMP:20260407T085459 CREATED:20190331T225416Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190611T182038Z UID:840-1560340800-1560344400@nawicnwa.org SUMMARY:NAWIC NWA June Luncheon Chapter Meeting DESCRIPTION:***Please RSVP by Friday\, June 7th via Eventbrite***\nIt’s time to nominate and elect a new board for the 2019-2020 NAWIC year!  A new Board of Directors and Committee Chairs will take over as leaders in September\, and will lead through August of 2020. We will vote on the 2019-2020 Board of Directors at our next Chapter meeting.\nYou can nominate yourself or others for the following positions.  Please email your nominations to nwachapternawic@gmail.com before our next Chapter meeting (info below) on June 12th: \n\n\n\nBoard of Directors\nCommittee Chairs\n\n\n\nPresident Elect (will serve as President the 2020-2021 year)       \n\nProfessional Development & Education    \n\n\nVice President\nFinance\n\n\nTreasurer\nMembership\n\n\nSecretary \nChapter Relations\n\n\nCorresponding Secretary \nWIC Week\n\n\nDirector (3 available positions)    \n\nScholarship\n\n\n\n\n \n************************************************************************\nIf you would like to receive meeting invitations directly and to join the emailing list\, please email Hallie.Bussman@caddell.com (not necessary for NAWIC NWA Chapter Members).
