      <title>October Luncheon (Thursday, October 22, 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p style="line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px !important; font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Tahoma; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font color="#1A1A1A"&gt;&lt;img src="https://womenbusinessowners.org/resources/Pictures/Board%20Member%20Photos/Kai%20Roberts%20Fu%20Speaker%20Author-sq.jpg" alt="" title="" border="0" width="180" height="180" align="left" style="margin: 8px;"&gt;Speaker&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#1A1A1A"&gt;:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;strong style="font-family: Tahoma;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Tahoma;"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.magnusmediavideo.com" target="_blank"&gt;K'ai Roberts Fu&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font color="#1A1A1A"&gt;, Magnus Media Group Video Production&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Tahoma;"&gt;&lt;font style=""&gt;&lt;font style=""&gt;&lt;font style=""&gt;&lt;font style=""&gt;&lt;strong style=""&gt;Topic:&lt;/strong&gt; Speak With Confidence: Practical Public-speaking Skills for People Who Aren't Public Speakers&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Tahoma;"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font&gt;You didn't start your business because you dreamed of becoming a public speaker, but as a business owner, you may find yourself in front of a room anyway. Introducing a speaker, addressing a group of clients, accepting an award, or simply being handed a microphone can all call for confidence and presence.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Tahoma;"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font&gt;You'll take away:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div style="line-height: 22px; margin-left: 2em"&gt;

    &lt;li style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Tahoma;"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font&gt;How to avoid common presentation pitfalls like rushing and reading mechanically&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Tahoma;"&gt;&lt;font style=""&gt;&lt;font style=""&gt;&lt;font style=""&gt;&lt;font style=""&gt;Why rehearsing out loud - even a short introduction - can make a big difference&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;It’s true that AI can save you hours every week in your business. But sometimes the trick is to know which AI tools to use for which job. In this workshop, Dana Rozier walks you through the five AI tools she uses every week so you can see them in action. Dana will describe what each tool does and why she uses it. You’ll see how she uses them for brainstorming, research, meeting notes, creating business materials, and working faster without sacrificing her judgment. Dana will show how the tools fit together so you can see where each one belongs in a real workday.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Education Workshop - The Relationship Garden: How to Grow Connections into Champions (Thursday, November 05, 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Tahoma;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(26, 26, 26);"&gt;&lt;font color="#1A1A1A"&gt;&lt;img src="https://womenbusinessowners.org/resources/Pictures/Member%20Headshots/Tracey%20Warren%202023.jpg" alt="" title="" border="0" width="180" height="180" align="left" style="margin: 8px;"&gt;Presenter:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;a href="https://igniteyourchampions.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Tracey Warren&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font color="#1A1A1A"&gt;, Ignite Your Champions&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" color="#1A1A1A" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong style="font-family: Tahoma;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" color="#1A1A1A" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong style="font-family: Tahoma;"&gt;Title&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;:&amp;nbsp;The Relationship Garden: How to Grow Connections into Champions&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" color="#1A1A1A" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Every champion in your business started out as a complete stranger. So why do so many of our "networking" efforts stop at a hug or a handshake? In this session, Tracey shares a simple five-stage framework for turning the interactions of networking, a conference, or other gatherings into relationships that actually grow your business. You'll learn why most people quit tending a relationship right when it's about to bloom, and walk away with practical, low-lift ways to keep watering the connections that can grow into YOUR community!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" color="#1A1A1A" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Learn the 5 stages of relationship growth&lt;/strong&gt; — Curiosity, Conversation, Connection, Community, Champions — and figure out which "pot" your current relationships are stuck in.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" color="#1A1A1A" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Identify your own Champions&lt;/strong&gt; and build a simple, sustainable plan for tending those relationships instead of letting them go dormant after the conference ends.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

      <title>Virtual Luncheon (Thursday, November 19, 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;img src="https://womenbusinessowners.org/resources/Pictures/Speaker%20Headshots/02-2022-Sarah%20Telow-Headshot-0002.jpg" alt="" title="" border="0" width="180" height="129" align="left" style="margin: 8px;"&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Speaker&lt;/strong&gt;:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;font color="#993366"&gt;Sarah Tetlow&lt;/font&gt;, CEO of &lt;a href="https://www.firm-focus.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Firm Focus&lt;/a&gt;, Legal Productivity Coaching &amp;amp; Consulting&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Topic&lt;/strong&gt;:&amp;nbsp;Design The Perfectly Productive Day&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px; margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;A realistic framework for productive days that actually work&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Designing the Perfectly Productive Day is a practical, research-informed keynote or workshop based on Sarah Tetlow’s top-selling book, &lt;a href="https://perfectlyproductiveday.com/" target="_blank"&gt;The Perfectly Productive Day&lt;/a&gt;. The program helps professionals intentionally design a full 24-hour day (not just their work hours) by aligning habits, decisions, and routines with how the brain actually works. Participants are guided through six key categories of the day to understand how small, strategic choices compound to improve focus, energy, and decision-making. The result is a realistic, sustainable approach to productivity that replaces willpower and overwhelm with clarity, consistency, and control.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Takeaways:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Practical strategies to reduce decision fatigue and intentionally structure days for focus, energy, and follow-through.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;A repeatable method for making small, high-impact changes that compound into sustainable performance.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
