Women Empowering Women Session

Dr. Kristi Nord: Me, Myself, & Lies
Ever wonder what you should say when you talk to yourself? Well, then this session is for you!! Dr. Kristi Nord will give an overview of the six week bible study, “Me, Myself, and Lies”, by Jennifer Rothschild.
Jennifer went blind during high school due to a genetic disease, and her life experiences provide tremendous spiritual inspirations that are incredibly unique throughout this study. Jennifer’s study is based on Psalm 19:14, “Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord”. Dr. Nord will lead you through Jennifer’s thought closet makeover and give you guidance on keeping God in the center of your thoughts and obtaining his wisdom. Dr. Nord will discuss applications of these tools through some of the trials in her life. She will also explain some of the intriguing science behind the power of thoughts in the brain.
By attending this session, you have an opportunity to gain insight on your inner thought stream and sharpen skills to help you enter more fully into the life God wants you to enjoy. There will be something for everyone in this talk – Replace the lies that bind you with the truth that sets you free!

Women Empowering Women Session
2020-07-08 11:45 - 12:45
Martha Rasche on Writing Your Life Story

The Dubois County women’s leadership organization, Women Empowering Women (WEW), will host its next event, virtually, on Wednesday, July 8 to hear Martha Rasche speak on writing your life story. The session will be held via the Zoom webinar platform and begin at 11:45 am. This event is open to all prospective and current WEW members.
How much do you know about your grandmother’s childhood? What would it be worth to you to know more? As we live through the coronavirus pandemic, how much would your grandchildren and great-grandchildren appreciate knowing how this historic event affected your day-to-day life? After a 25 year career as a newspaper writer and editor at The Herald and in northern Indiana, Martha Rasche started helping others to write their everyday life stories in 2014. Since then she has worked one-on-one with individuals to compile their life stories, and dozens more have taken her eight-week classes to write their own. If Martha’s presentation doesn’t inspire you to write your own stories, it certainly will make you realize the importance of getting your parents’ and grandparents’ stories in writing before they are lost forever.
Advanced reservations are required in order to get the link to the call. Reservations should be made by calling the Jasper Chamber of Commerce at 812-482-6866 or by emailing chamber@jasperin.org by Monday, July 6. The link to the meeting will then be emailed to all participants prior to the call on July 8.
The mission of Women Empowering Women is to inspire women in business to reach their highest potential by instilling confidence, building networks, and promoting community in Dubois County. Membership is open to any woman in business who lives or works in Dubois County.
For more information about WEW and to access a membership application, visit the organizations’ Facebook page or contact the Jasper Chamber of Commerce.

Embracing & Navigating Change: Virtual Masterclass
2020-07-13 11:30 - 12:30
Embracing & Navigating Change: Virtual Masterclass
Right now, we are in uncertain times, and that uncertainty can create heightened anxiety, fear and chaos. However, it’s the individuals and organizations that use this time to turn inward and embrace change that will come out ahead. Instead of looking at uncertainty as a time to shrink and be fearful, you can look at uncertainty as a time to expand and be open to possibility. It’s time to step into your power. It’s time to embrace and navigate change.
In this workshop, Vitale will take you through her three-step process for embracing change: Awareness, Perspective and Action. You will become aware of your triggers and your resistance to change, then you will learn the mindset techniques to shift out of fear into power, and finally the tools you need to take massive action and find alignment during this time.
You will leave this online workshop with the confidence and tools to be the most powerful version of yourself. You will become a leader in embracing and navigating change.
Date: Monday, July 13, 2020
Time: 11:30 am – 12:30 pm EST
