 Next meeting topic for Tuesday, August 13 at Noon:
Mastering Your Memory

Did you know that your memory can directly impact your business’ bottom-line? We’ve come to rely on our gadgets while we ponder the disastrous consequence should we ever lose our iPhone. 

Join us on Tuesday, August 13th for “Mastering Your Memory”. Phil Marino will teach you valuable skills that will improve your ability to recall information, which will ultimately benefit you professionally and personally.   You will gain an appreciation for a “trained memory” as it may lend to “increased sales, develop more confidence, and give a competitive advantage”… among other benefits.  This is a fun and interactive presentation that you will not want to miss.

 
 
 

From the President...

This past few years I have been blessed working alongside great women of AWBO. My life is richer, filled with lasting friendship and so much inspiration from wonderful Women Business Owners who embraces life and business. The AWBO Board is filled with leadership, camaraderie and dedication to AWBO. Do you enjoy working with women as a team? Enjoy outreach? If you answered YES, you would be a great contribution to the new Board of Directors. For more information, call me Tammy Foley 765-479-1216 or President Elect Holly Thomas.

Special Workshop Coming Sept. 12:
Dream it! Plan it! Live it!
Grab your gear. AWBO, in partnership with YWCA Greater Lafayette are hosting a special Goal Mastery Workshop on Thursday, September 12 led by special guest speaker, author and dreampreneur Traci Bogan(www.tracibogan.com).

This special 3 hour interactive workshop provides you with opportunities and tools to sharpen your old skill sets, and build new techniques and tools. You will be challenged to stretch your vision, overcome your fears, and step out of your comfort zone and into massive focus, action, and accountability. You will leave fully armed with a Goal Planning System (G.P.S.) and a Massive Accountability Plan (M.A.P) to help you stay on track. The work you do in this workshop could change the rest of your life.

Did you Miss AWBO Girls' Night Out?

What a beautiful evening for Girls Night Out in July. We meet at Red Seven for drinks and dinner while sitting on the patio. The laughter was contagious. Downtown Lafayette was buzzing with the preparations of the Citizens Band performance later that evening. Thanks to those of you who were able to join us! Watch for another GNO this fall.

Congrats
