How to Have a Peaceful Holiday Season while Maintaining Your Personal & Professional Lives

Dr. Barbara Osborn, LCSW, is a Clinical Social Worker Specialist at the Alpine Clinic in Lafayette, Indiana. She attended and graduated with honors from graduate school in 1985, having over 29 years of diverse experiences. She will speak about the stress and anxiety that can come with the holidays, and suggest ways to keep a peaceful presence about yourself during these times. Let's make it a season to enjoy!

A Note from Your President...

I have renewed energy. It comes from taking stock of the harvest. Processing where we have been and where we’re headed was the topic of our “Programs Committee" brainstorming session. Have you noticed the leaves starting to change color? Now is the time when all the local farmers are anxious to assess whether their crops will give them any ROI? Have you taken stock of your company's harvest as we head into the last quarter? When was the last time you dusted off those New Year’s Business Goals for 2015?

As you process this production, please consider whether your investment in AWBO has paid off for 2015? Did you take the time or expend the energy necessary to gain networking connections? Does AWBO provide a respite from the everyday grind of doing business-attending a meeting is a prerequisite! Do you view your organization as a new source of business contacts? If so, do you make it a point to introduce yourself to the visitors at the meetings each month? Have you spent any time getting to know a fellow AWBO member outside of a general membership meeting?

Now back to that investment. When is the last time you invited a woman business owner to a membership meeting? When is the last time you shared the value of your investment with a fellow business owner? Sharing the opportunity now, as we start our calendar year will allow your friend to gain a whole year’s worth of the value of AWBO. Would you be willing to volunteer for a limited time sub-committee to further the awareness of our organization? We all know you get out of an organization what you put in. Are you in?

Best regards,
Susan Benedict
AWBO President
