TOPIC:
Leading with a Coaching Mindset
SUMMARY:
How do we move away from the fixing problems mindset?
A coaching mindset is a paradigm shift that creates a culture of trust where people step forward instead of look away, suggest solutions instead of complaining, try to solve problems instead of blaming others, willing to do more instead of asking for more, and asking questions instead of judging. This Lunch & Learn explores five characteristics of leading with a coaching mindset and the impact it can have on your organization.
Larry’s mission is to help leaders develop themselves so they can develop others to become their best version of themselves. Larry is a sought-after coach, trainer, and speaker with multiple recognitions for his impact.
WHAT TO EXPECT:
The event is scheduled for 60 minutes with the masterclass being 30 minutes with 10 minutes of Q&A followed by 20 minutes of networking.

TOPIC:
Hidden Traps in a Federal Request for Proposals
SUMMARY:
This presentation will walk through a Federal Request for Proposals format and identify areas where there could be “traps” for the unwary. There are many areas where the government could put in requirements in an effort to steer an opportunity to a certain bidder. The presentation will advise how to identify those areas and highlight actions an offeror could take to address them.
Mr. Rhodes has over seventeen years of legal experience representing government contractors on all aspects of government contracting law and commercial disputes. Having began his career as a civil litigator, Mr. Rhodes focuses on government contract litigation matters such as pre- and post-award bid protests at the Government Accountability Office (GAO) and at the United States Court of Federal Claims (COFC).
In addition to his law firm experience, Mr. Rhodes has spent several years as an in-house counsel to multiple government contractors. He also had the opportunity to roll up his sleeves and write and price proposals, which gives him a unique understanding of that aspect of the industry.

TOPIC:
Grow Your Business with Your Brand’s Voice & Brand Personality
SUMMARY:
If your brand were a person, what would it say, how would it speak? Every brand has a way that it shows up and a way that it speaks. How your brand shows up is perceived and understood is in many ways a product of your brand personality. The way in which your brand speaks is your brand voice. Together, these two brand elements work together to help your business grow by creating more connection between you and your customers and driving the associations and actions you desire from your customers. This workshop is designed to help business owners and brand leaders discover and deepen their understanding of the roles that brand voice and personality play in helping grow their business, while also helping them ensure their unique and authentic brand voice and personality shine through in their content and customer relationships.

Rules of Engagement:
In order for the event to be successful and fun we have a few simple asks:
Be On Time
Even better, join early to ensure your device is working properly before the trivia night starts. You may not be admitted if you join later than five minutes in.
Stay For The Duration
If you aren’t able to stay for the whole event, let us know at least one day prior to the event and we can remove you and add you to the next one. Break-out rooms work best when everyone stays the duration.
Mute & Unmute
Mute your line when not talking and unmute it when talking. Virtual meetings have been around for a while but these faux pas are still common.
Don’t Join From Your Car
Please join the event from somewhere with good network connections. And please don’t drive and play trivia!
Bring Some Jokes and Have Fun!
