9:30 AM - Stop Complaining, Start Living with Dori Eversmann, Owner of Resilient Relationships

Learn to rise above complaining, blaming, and negativity. In this engaging presentation, you’ll discover how to recognize the motivation behind complaints and, most importantly, how to redirect these negative complaints. Most people deal with dozens of complaints every single day leaving them feeling drained, burned out, and emotionally ragged. The combined stress of all this relentless negativity causes stress, burnout, health problems, communication challenges, and dissatisfaction with life. It’s vital to recognize the hidden emotional need behind complaints and deal with them rather than being side-tracked and dragged down by all the griping.

10:30 AM - CAR Statement Workshop

Learn how to communicate your strengths through the CAR or Challenge–Action–Result framework. Identify key challenges faced, actions taken, and results that were achieved—then shape them into powerful personalized statements you can use to tell success stories. Practice transforming experiences in a compelling, concise way that highlights real impact—perfect for interviews, resumes, performance reviews, and leadership development.

We meet at Hill Country Bible Church - Lakeline location in the North Auditorium. Use the family entrance by the cafe!

9:30 AM - Using AI Strategically in the Job Search with Kara D. Bell

🤖  Lots of job seekers are using AI, but not very effectively (many employers are not using it effectively either).
🧑‍💻 So what's a job seeker to do? (Fortunately, there are very helpful things to do as well as things to avoid.)
Career Coach, Kara D. Bell has helped thousands of job seekers from diverse backgrounds with strategies to overcome: lack of experience, long term unemployment, career gaps, ageism and other bias. She’s passionate about helping others going through hard transitions after facing her own series of hardships.

Mastermind Circle
This focused time allows participants to share a current struggle, goal, or roadblock related to purpose, faith, or work. Each person will take a brief turn in the “hot seat” to receive feedback, ideas, and encouragement from the group. It’s a powerful way to gain clarity, brainstorm solutions, and move forward with renewed confidence.
