With over two decades of experience as a successful photographer\, Gabriel’s life took an unexpected turn with the onset of the pandemic. Facing canceled photoshoots and lost clients\, she found herself searching for purpose amidst the uncertainty. \nBut rather than succumbing to despair\, Gabriela chose to renew her mind and find ways to make a positive impact. As she decluttered her house\, she was reminded of those who had lost their jobs and were in dire need. A simple act of kindness to one family sparked a fire within Gabriela to do more. \nUsing her platform on social media\, Gabriela began rallying her community to help those in need. Through her subdivision’s Facebook page and personal account\, friends and neighbors donated clothing\, household items\, and furniture for families struggling to make ends meet. The response was overwhelming\, fueling Gabriela’s passion even further. \nWhat began as a mission to provide basic necessities quickly grew into something much larger. Gabriela started Gabriela’s Families in Need\, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping low-income families. With the support of her friends and partners\, she has been able to assist 252 families and counting\, offering hope\, opportunity\, and comfort in challenging times. \nAdding yet another dimension to her already multi-faceted life\, she wholeheartedly supports her son’s company\, Fly Factory Custom T-Shirts\, and Promotional Products\, serving as his trusted personal assistant. This demonstrates her unparalleled commitment to family and the success of loved ones. \nOne of Gabriela’s lifelong dreams\, as she prayerfully became the official photographer for Lakewood Church after steadfastly believing in its realization for 14 long years. Even though her season at Lakewood ended she still gets excited to share that story. Additionally\, she is the former\, Director of Photography for H Texas Magazine\, her talent and passion was showcased to a wide audience.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \nContact this Speaker Directly:\nGabriela Elizondo Gonzales\nEmail: Gaby@photosbygabriela.com \nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/gabriela.elizondo.gonzales?mibextid=LQQJ4d[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Using researched-backs skills\, you will learn the power of CLEAN communication served with clear steps\, implementation practices\, and a side of laughter. \nPresentation takeaways: \nDescribe the cost of miscommunication with qualitative and quantitative data. \nIdentify the process and purpose of communication (and no\, it’s not just sharing information). \nDetermine the five steps to stop miscommunication before it starts. Keep it CLEAN. \nClarify what steps to take when miscommunication occurs.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \nContact this Speaker Directly:\nJenn Whitmer\, Speaker\, Consultant\, Joy-Bringer with Consone Consulting\nWebsite: http://jennwhitmer.com \nEmail: jenn@jennwhitmer.com \nLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jennwhitmer \nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/jennwhitmerspeaks/ \nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jenn_whitmer/ \nPhone: 314-398-8800[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \nAll chapter meetings are FREE for anyone to attend.  YES!  You read that right. \n\n(We just ask that if a chapter meeting is at a restaurant location\, that you purchase a meal to support the location that is so graciously hosting our event.

SUMMARY:Virtual Meeting - The DISC Profile
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \nGUEST SPEAKER: Melissa Willis\nTOPIC: The DISC Profile and How to Make it Work For You\nMODERATED BY: Dessiree Allums\nThurs October 19\, 2023 – 12:00PM-1:00PM CST\nAbout the Presenter: Melissa Willis has lived an anything but ordinary life. Born in New Orleans\, she grew up overseas because her father worked in the oil industry. She was fortunate enough to travel the world at a young age\, once with her parents and once on her own. Italy\, Tokyo\, Taiwan\, New York\, and Los Angeles are just a few of the places she has lived and worked. Her varied life experiences have found their way into many of her presentations through entertaining and pointed stories. Throughout her career\, she has experienced the highs and lows that every business owner and professional does. Melissa always chooses to focus on the possibilities rather than the obstacles. Not one to mince words\, her realistic approach comes with a healthy dose of positivity and real talk that cuts to the heart of the matter. Those who have been in Melissa’s audiences walk away with the power of possibilities for themselves and the knowledge that they’ve had the tools for success all along. Melissa began her education overseas and completed high school and college in New Orleans with a degree in Drama and Communications. She has over 20 years of international professional speaking experience. Melissa also has extensive experience in multi-level marketing\, the restaurant industry\, and the often-wild business of acting and modeling. \nAbout the Presentation: Learn more about yourself and your own style while also learning how to best communicate with others. Be true to yourself while honoring others. Creating a Ripple Effect in Your Personal and Professional Lives: How our everyday interactions can change our lives and communities for the better.\nGetting more referrals in your business starts with some very simple ways to communicate differently\, network differently\, and market yourself differently. This presentation will offer you a different way to think about your current business building efforts as well as a clear picture of how much more business is out there for you.\n \nPresentation takeaways: \n1. The networking event is just the beginning of the referral process. \n2. The fortune is in the follow up. \n3. A different way to think about the marketing techniques we’ve all been taught.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][/vc_column][/vc_row]

At our TEDx events\, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program\, but individual TEDx events\, including ours\, are self-organized. \nThe mission of TEDxStLouis is to create an inclusive and equitable community of forever learners in the St. Louis region. We focus on curating TED-oriented thought-leaders and topics that have an intrinsic connection to the St. Louis region & may not be broadly known or understood by most St. Louisans. We provide the community with events\, connections\, and ongoing information that will help them propel the St. Louis region to greater vibrancy and prosperity.  \nWe believe passionately in the power of ideas to change attitudes\, lives\, and\, ultimately\, the world. Our community will build a clearinghouse of free knowledge from the region’s most inspired thinkers — and a consortium of curious souls to engage with ideas and each other\, both online and at TEDx events all year long. \nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wiFtb4VAz6w[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:O'Fallon Chapter Meeting - Not Every Cloud Has a Silver Lining: Allowing Grief and Gratitude to Co-Exist
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \nSpeaker: Kris Fulkerson\nTopic: Not Every Cloud Has a Silver Lining: Allowing Grief and Gratitude to Co-Exist\nWhere: Bella Milano – 455 Regency Park O’Fallon\, IL 62269\nMonday\, October 30\, 2023 – 11:30AM-1:00PM CST\nKris Fulkerson is the founder and President of Coping 4 Kids\, started in 2007\, and co-founder of the non-profit Coping 4 Life in 2016. Both organizations provide much needed social work support in low-resourced\, at-risk rural communities. Kris has extensive training in grief and trauma\, youth mental health needs\, suicide prevention\, and rural mental health. She has presented both nationally and locally\, in person and online. Notably\, Kris presented a national webinar on parenting teens during the pandemic through the NACG and most recently at the National Alliance for Children’s Grief National Symposium on the intersection of children’s grief and the rural mental health crisis. Kris volunteers with both Experience Camps and TAPS providing clinical care to grieving children and adolescents around the country. She was honored with a 2011 NASW Social Worker of the Year award\, a 2016 YWCA Woman of Distinction Award for her work helping women and children\, and the 2021 Horace Mann Reaching Out and Building Bridges Award by the Illinois Principals Association for her innovative mobile social work programs in rural schools. On a personal level\, Kris is a widow raising her nine children with her amazing now husband\, Jason\, while she completes her Doctor of Social Work degree. Beyond her calling to help people\, Kris kayaks\, travels\, raises her small army\, and is the main blogger on Coping’s Facebook and Instagram accounts. \nLet’s talk about what happens when our personal challenges collide with our professional lives\, and we’re left to figure out what to do in the aftermath. As women\, we are often ATAP (all things to all people) making it difficult for us to make space for our own needs during hard times. This presentation will offer one example of  what happens when personal calamity meets professional aspirations in a poignant fairy tale format\, complete with interactive activities. \nPresentation takeaways: \nAll feelings are valid \nMaking room for our grief allows us to fully experience gratitude \nAsking for what we need during personal struggle can allow growth professionally – or at least not impede it[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text]Contact this Speaker Directly:\nKris Fulkerson\, Founder & Co-Founder of Coping 4 Kids & Coping 4 Life \nEmail: kris@coping4life.com \nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/coping4life \nPhone Number: 618-830-5312[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \nAll chapter meetings are FREE for anyone to attend.  YES!  You read that right. \n\n(We just ask that if a chapter meeting is at a restaurant location\, that you purchase a meal to support the location that is so graciously hosting our event.
