GEW - Free classes to learn & grow your business skills


Hi Reader,

Have you heard of Global Entrepreneurship Week (or GEW)? It's a free educational conference that happens every November on all things business ownership and being your own boss.

So of course my business owner friends should make plans to attend! But even if you don't have a business or side hustle, there are networking events & skills classes that could help anyone.

And I'm teaching two such classes at GEWKC!


It's Smart, Not Selfish! (How to establish boundaries to get your own work done)
Tuesday, Nov. 14
3-4p
Bank Midwest
, 1100 Northwest South Outer Road, Blue Springs

Find yourself too busy helping your employees or coworkers or putting out fires to get your own work done? In this class, we’ll discuss a step by step process for carving out time for your work priorities. You’ll have time in class to make your own personalized plan, and we’ll do a bit of role playing to practice holding our boundaries around that plan.

Attendees must confirm attendance via Eventbrite for free tickets due to limited seating (max. 12).


60 Second Self Care at Work
Wednesday, Nov. 15
11:15a-12:15p
PlexPod Westport

Self care has become a buzz word that’s often used to sell us expensive or time-consuming products. The truth is, self care IS important, but it doesn’t have to be pricey or take a huge chunk of your day to be effective. Before you give up on self care because you can’t afford a fancy spa day or find the time for a luxury vacation, come to this session to learn and practice multiple ways to make time for self care during your busy work day. You’ll also leave with a list of over 60 free or low-cost ideas for self care.


Again, all the classes and events are free to attend so I hope to see you at GEWKC in a couple weeks! It's a great resource in our community, so take advantage of it if you can.

Check out gewkc.com for the full schedule of events & to register for classes you want to attend!

Breathe deep. Drink plenty of water. You got this!

Hello Reader, Our affirmation stays the same again this week: Today I bid farewell to old habits and welcome positive change to my life. And today you can download two coloring pages with our affirmation on them! Download the coloring pages I prefer simple coloring pages with big sections so I can really let loose with my colored pencils to make big sweeping strokes. But many of my friends enjoy tiny, detailed work, so I accommodate both styles with these coloring pages. Print one or both...

Hello Reader, Our affirmation stays the same this week: Today I bid farewell to old habits and welcome positive change to my life. But today you can listen to and/or watch me say our affirmation 21 times! While I am not a huge video or podcast fan--I find it hard to focus on audio only, and I'm a super fast reader so I always prefer text--there are a lot of others out there who are. And since my goal this year is to experiment with different ways to practice our affirmation, an audio version...

Hello Reader, Ahhhhhh, there's nothing like the new year for...procrastination?? Procrastination is totally normal and human, and it happens to all of us. I just happen to have a lot more of it lately than I'm used to. I'm currently writing this at the last minute, on Sunday afternoon while in the midwest we are in the middle of Snow-Pocalypse 2024! We got a lovely layer of ice yesterday, and we're expected to get almost a foot of snow on top of that. Hooray. My husband's in-service day has...
