BPW Dinner Meeting - January
26, 2010
"Career and Business Growth for
These Changing
Times"
Make
2010 the Best Year of Your
Life
 Successful entrepreneur,
Mary Cantando, has an unusual mantra:
"Never ask HOW will I get to do this,
but WHO will I get to do this?"
As an
acclaimed author, speaker, and national magazine
columnist who focuses on women entrepreneurs,
Mary found herself inundated with requests for
personal mentoring. And while she wanted to help
as many women as possible, she just didn't have
the time.
So she
responded to those ongoing mentoring requests by
asking "WHO will I get to do this?" Her answer
to that question was to collect advice from
other women entrepreneurs and bring those great
ideas to life in The Woman's
Advantage Shared Wisdom Calendar
at www.WomansAdvantage.biz/calendar.
The calendar consists of 365 great
ideas-one for each day of the year-each
providing a daily learning experience for women
just like you. Daily calendar advice
includes:
- "Each day is not about what you
tried to do; it's about the
results."
- "You get what you
tolerate."
- "In hiring, remember that an empty
house is better than a bad
tenant."
- "As women
we are always juggling. Your job is to recognize
which balls in the air are rubber and which are
glass."
To share the "best of the best"
from her upcoming 2010 calendar, Mary will be
presenting a fast-paced, thought-provoking
session "10 Ways to Make This The Best
Year of Your Life." In this session,
she will share 10 key concepts and discuss how
you can use them to expand your business and
your life.
Join
us on January 26 and learn how you can put great
tips like these to work every day of the year.
Wondering whether or not you
should attend this unique session? Here's advice
from yet another woman quoted in The Woman's
Advantage Calendar: "You can make excuses or you
can make money, but you absolutely can't make
both!"

Triangle BPW
Volunteer Event
From Linda
Karolak, Triangle BPW
The Triangle BPW
will be volunteering again this year to
answer phones in the live TV studio for UNC TV
We are planning for Saturday, March 6, for the
afternoon shift, which I believe is 2:30pm until
7:00pm. It is fun, and they feed you, and
you don't need to work very hard, and if we have
20 volunteers, they will give us two 30
second spots sometime during the broadcast
to tell folks who we are, and what
we do...good PR for BPW!
If you, your family, your
friends are interested in participating
with the Triangle BPW, please contact Linda
Karolak at LindaAnn.Karolak@na.biomerieux.com

call for presentations
We want to hear your ideas. We do,
really! But the catch is we want to hear it
PechaKucha style. What's that you say? Well,
PechaKucha (pronounced roughly: pe-chak-cha) is
a way to share powerful ideas in a fast-paced,
high-energy manner: 20 slides presented for 20
seconds each. That's 6 minutes and 40 seconds to
get your point across. How cool is that?
Why should you submit a
presentation?
- You'll be
able to share your idea with other super cool
folks and thought leaders in the community in a
fun relaxed environment
- Your idea
could change thinking, empower change, inspire
innovation and build a stronger community
- It
doesn't cost a thing to present or attend
- It will make you feel
good
Here's what you need to do to
submit
Write a sentence or two about your
idea and provide one (1) low-res supporting
image (.jpg, jpeg, or .gif file ONLY) then
e-mail us at
pknraleigh@gmail.com.
