A Real Boss Practices Self Care! A workshop for entrepreneurs
Tue, May 7, 2019 | 8:30 a.m. – 10 a.m.
Practice Works |3613 6th Avenue South | Birmingham, AL 35222
Mayor Woodfin has often said that small business owners do more by 9 a.m. than most of us do all day. It’s no surprise that entrepreneurs are stretched and overwhelmed with a myriad of things and they often don’t get an opportunity to stop and take care of their primary employee…themselves. So here’s a chance to learn a few techniques on how to practice self-care in your fast paced ever changing lives. You can’t take care of your businesses, employees and customers if you don’t take care of YOU!
8:30 – 9:00 networking/coffee/snacks
9:00 – 9:30 tricks to introducing a self-care practice into your busy day
9:30 – 10:00 reset and rejuvenate – a short meditation and chair yoga practice (option to remove shoes but work clothes are appropriate)
Come tour Birmingham’s first coworking community for wellness practitioners!
Facilitators
Sheri Bagwell, Meditation Coach
Meredith Calhoun, RYT200
Valerie Thompson, LPC
Snacks to be provided by blueroot co. – A locally sourced healthy/whole food start-up!

Wed, May 8, 2019 | 8:45 a.m. – 10:15 a.m.
TruFund Financial Services | 1927 1st Avenue North, Suite 602 | Birmingham, Alabama
Having the right pitch is critically important. Whether you are on Shark Tank or asking your friends for seed funding it’s important to hit the right points and make a compelling case for investors. During National Small Business week we wanted to create a space for startups to practice their pitch in front of a panel of experts. Participants will receive critical recommendations and take their pitch to the next level. For this event, we will be partnering with TruFund’s Women In Business: An EmpowHERment training cohort. Come and join the community of startups and ecosystems builders and learn how to make the perfect pitch. Networking and coffee will be in full effect!

Why we say yay to two-way streets
Filed Under: Developer, Downtown Birmingham, Filling Vacant Spaces, Front Page, Transportation, Yaysayers
REV Birmingham is a long-time advocate for making the switch to two-way streets downtown, and this is something recommended by planners studying our downtown for years. In fact, the team that developed the 2004 City Center Master Plan recommended many street changes but noted 4th Avenue North conversion should take place “immediately.” We believe this project is a catalytic moment for Birmingham – but you may find yourself wondering why that is.

The Key Tool for Urban Revitalization: Downtown BHM's Business Improvement District
Filed Under: Business-Proving, Developer, Downtown Birmingham, Front Page, Get Involved, Potential-Proving, Why BHM
By the time REV took on BID management in 2018, downtown had a new set of needs from its BID. Downtown Birmingham in the ‘90s had a population mainly of 9 to 5 employees. But the downtown of 2018 had a whole new population of residents and visitors throughout the day and night. We had new opportunities to create positive experiences, inviting them into more downtown businesses and public spaces, and to keep them coming back for more.
