Join Alex Koenigsberg of Arula Consulting for a discussion of various strategies learned from years of applying to a variety of grants. Instead of merely focusing on grant writing fundamentals\, you’ll learn new ways to improve your grant writing process and the final product. \nAlex is the president and founder of Arula. He started the company in 2018\, having nearly ten years in the nonprofit world\, after realizing that every grant writer he met required payment of their fee upfront. Alex knew there was a more equitable way and decided to tap his own knowledge and experience to provide this service\, while sharing in the risk with the nonprofits. Alex and the team at Arula assist dozens of nonprofits and initiatives\, mostly in Colorado but also throughout the country. \nAlex also works as the Business Development Officer for Quorum Prosthetics. He is responsible for a myriad of initiatives at each company\, including: sales\, partnerships\, marketing\, investments\, grants\, loans\, and more.

SUMMARY:Wellbeing at Work and Business with Elizabeth Mahoney
DESCRIPTION:Wouldn’t it be amazing if we loved what we do every single day at in our business? And got to do the things we love to do most of the day? Maybe you already do get to do a lot of the things you love in your business. I bet though that there are some aspects of your business that you do not enjoy. \nWe spend over a third of our lives at work\, and our professional roles\, and yet only 1/3 of people like what they do every day. There seems to be a disconnect there don’t you think? We have all heard of the greatest resignation\, I like to think of it as the great re-evaluation. People are re-evaluating their career goals and leaving their jobs\, going to other places where they feel like their work matters and they can develop and grow. In fact\, roughly half of people working today are planning to leave their positions in the next year. \nThis impacts you as a business leader and/or people leader. If any of the below statements fit for you than this interactive session is for you. \n\nAs a business owner do you wear all the hats and are often stuck doing all the things to run your business with little to no support?\nAre you at risk of feeling burned out in your business?\nYour staffing issues are a real worry for you and keeping you up at night.\n\nAs busy business owners we are working more hours than ever. Now more than ever life and worked are enmeshed. It’s time to take charge of your happiness and well-being at work. \nDuring this session we will focus in your well-being\, how you can be more fulfilled in your business and leadership roles\, and have the tools to have well-being conversations with others. \nSpeaker: Elizabeth Mahoney \nThree takeaways you will be able to apply immediately after attending this session are: \n\nFocus in on and have a chance to assess your own well-being currently.\nHave tangible tips on how to build your well-being at work and life.\nSupport others you lead in developing their own well-being.\n\nLeadership is often messy and there is a lot that others don’t see go on for leaders. This is an opportunity and a way to take care of yourself as a leader and focus on your well-being at work!

SUMMARY:Solopreneurs Can Scale: What I Learned from Closing $100K in 50 Days with Cindy Skalicky
DESCRIPTION:This is not a “look at me and what I did” talk. No\, this is just a story to share and that might inspire. I started On Point Communications 100% unintentionally in 2015 after no one would hire me for a part time gig. I almost closed up shop in the pandemic\, and interviewed at numerous companies\, including OtterBox. In the end I did not quit\, I soldiered on\, with my 4 college-bound kids at the heart of that drive. \nWhen I hit this Q3 milestone\, it was a total shock to me\, and frankly\, unplanned. I had no post-it notes or goals sheets with this number in mind. I had not calculated the deal sizes I’d need to get here\, nor felt stress to do it in 50 days. It just happened. \nWhen it did happen\, I couldn’t help but think about it deeply – in my over-analytical way – and try to trace back the breadcrumbs. What led to this milestone? Can I keep this trend going? What lessons does it teach me about entrepreneurship? About running a business? About the direction I’m headed? \nCome join this conversation with me. Just bring yourself and your dreams for your business. I’m going to tell a story. I’ll also hit on 3 of the big pieces I see that led me to this milestone\, and what I’m doing to try to keep the trend alive. I suspect during the Q/A and discussion for this session\, I will learn as much from you and your insights\, as you from me. Can’t wait to see you there! \nSpeaker: Cindy Skalicky

SUMMARY:Uncrapify Your Future! with Jeff Havens
DESCRIPTION:If you’ve listened to anyone talk about innovation recently\, you’ve probably heard something along these lines: “The world is changing at a crazy fast rate. Everything you’re doing now is about to become obsolete. If you don’t come up with some amazing\, industry-changing ideas in the next 18 seconds\, your business is basically going to disappear. Have a nice day.” And if that’s the kind of doomsayer message that you and your friends love hearing\, then you can stop reading now. \nBut if you’d like to present innovation as a simple process that literally everyone is capable of performing\, then you might want to listen to Uncrapify Your Future! Filled with the trademark wit that has made Jeff Havens one of the most in-demand speakers in North America\, Uncrapify Your Future! will make the process of coming up with new ideas\, solving problems\, exploiting opportunities\, and surviving massive (and sometimes unexpected) disruption easier and more rewarding than you ever thought possible. Because it turns out that every innovation in every industry – from automobiles to streaming music\, coffee cup holders to wartime treaties – follows the same straightforward pattern. \nYour business is always changing\, and so you will always need people to anticipate and capitalize on those changes. If you want them to think that being innovative is a daunting task that only a few elites can handle\, listen to someone else. But if you want your audience walking away realizing that they’re all capable of greatness\, then Uncrapify Your Future! is for you. \nOh\, and did we mention that it’s also hilarious? Well it is. And imagine that – a keynote that’s both educational and enjoyable. How innovative! \nSpeaker: Jeff Havens \nAttendees will walk away knowing this one thing: The three-step process which every innovation throughout all of human history has inevitably followed
