Ladies Power Lunch Planning Women Empowering Women Conference

2009-08-19T00:00:00-04:00

8/19/09 For Immediate Release Contact: Robin Delgado 772-286-1000 772-285-7682 Ladies Power Lunch Planning Women Empowering Women Conference Stuart: Make plans now to attend the Ladies Power Lunch's first Women Empowering Women conference on November 5, 2009, at the Hutchinson Island Marriott. As the region's premier forum for women, it will focus its mission on empowering women to be believers in change in their homes, their workplaces, their communities and the world around them. This year's conference will include two nationally acclaimed keynote speakers. Rebecca Carswell, author of The GROUP: An Amazing Way to Achieve Success, Happiness & Extraordinary Relationships, began speaking to organizations and businesses about the Power of Interpretation – the ability to interpret, or think about, any situation you find yourself in, in any way you choose. A major turning point came in Rebecca's life in 2002 during a near-fatal sky jumping adventure. Rebecca had just jumped out of the plane when the plane airplane actually hit her at 13,500 in the air, breaking her back.Doctors told herthat she would never fully recover. She remembers thinking, “I felt like a victim – angry, sad, depressed, like there's no hope.” She also began to realize that what she was thinking was actually creating her reality. So, she began to focus on positive, empowering thoughts, like “Everything happens for a reason. I will find the gifts in this experience.” As a result, Rebecca was ultimately able to resume a normal life. She now combines this powerful message with improving communication skills in her eye-opening, entertaining talk for the conference: When Life Hits You on the Head With an Airplane: Using the Power of Interpretation. The second powerful keynote speaker, Kim Marcille, is an authority on strategic innovation and an internationally renowned speaker and consultant. Kim's 25-year background in business ranges from Fortune 500 executive leadership to small business ownership. Kim is founder of Possibilities Amplified, Inc.,and the author of, The Science of Making Things Happen: How to Turn Any Possibility into Realty. Her past clients have included Ogilvy & Mather, Eastern Airlines, Miami-Dade College, Harris Corporation, and the Coca-Cola Company, among other organizations. Kim recently drove a NASCAR race car at the Homestead Miami Speedway racetrack at 135 miles per hour. You can do this and anything else you've ever imagined, and Kim will show conference attendees the science behind that ability. Her topic for the conference will be, Amp It Up! Success Strategies for Women and Businesses. In addition, the conference has a fabulous line-up of break out speakers through out the day, including Sasha ZeBryk, Susan Somerset Webb, Dr. Lisa Grassam and Kim Jones. These experts will share the enriching skills of transformation and success, sharing best practices, words of encouragement and life lessons. Forty local businesses also will be exhibiting at the conference. “Despite the difficult economy, women continue to thrive, launch businesses, and move forward,” said Robin Delgado of the Accident Law Offices of Philip DeBerard, one of the committee members for this event. “All of the conference speakers will provide the audience with life-transforming experiences and will motivate, educate and inspire women from all walks of life so they can make a difference in their life and be the difference.” Tickets to the conference are available online at www.powerlunchbunch.com for $10. in advance and $15. at the door. Proceeds benefit the House of Hope and Treasure Coast Food Bank. The Ladies Power Lunch initiative began as an afternoon luncheon for 10 friends and has grown into a calling list of over 300 women and an attendance of more than 80 women at monthly luncheons. Anne Schafer, founder of the Ladies Power Lunch, attributes the success of the group to great networking and support for one another.
