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!

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!

10 powerful examples of historic preservation in action

It’s easy to take for granted the historic gems we have here in Birmingham. Many beautiful, story-filled buildings dot the map of our city, their silhouettes adorning our skylines and their façades serving as the vibrant background to our everyday lives downtown. However, without attention, investment and a commitment by our community to prioritize these treasures, our historic buildings and the authentic character they give our city can disappear.
