Business Networking Fair Scheduled Saturday, March 20th

I’m hosting a Business Networking Fair at the Hotel Nexus on March 20 (Sat.) from 11:00 AM to 3:30 PM. It’s a great opportunity for business people to connect with a larger community, grow their networks, showcase their businesses and associations, and find more advocates and referrals.
 
A structured networking meeting will be held from 11:30 to 12:30: sponsors and exhibitors will introduce themselves; walk-in business reps may sit in and be briefly introduced. The general public is welcome for open-networking from 12:30 to 3:00.
 
The emphasis is on business networking, not selling to the public, although exhibitors may and do sell to each other and to visitors. There are fees for exhibitors and sponsors. The general public and walk-in business reps are admitted free.
 
For further details, please visit my website: http://www.improv-ableresults.com/ or contact me personally at 206-351-5899 or sandy@improv-ableresults.com.   
 
Cheers!
Sandy

Alumna Looking For Work in Diversity Field

I am seeking part-time employment, and I am very interested in the field of diversity.  I am particularly interested in research and assessment regarding diversity, and am open to administrative work, as well as project work.  I am returning to work after several years at home and as a volunteer, and any assistance or referrals are appreciated.  I would love to talk with alumni or others in the field, as well, to learn more about what is currently taking place.  I live in Edmonds, and am available for areas from downtown Seattle and north.  Thank you in advance for any information, referrals, and assistance!

Alumna Seeks Expertise

I’m wondering if there are any Antioch Alumni who have development expertise they would like to donate to Blacks In Government (B.I.G.)  The e-mail below lists some of the workshop topics desired for the B.I.G. Regional Training Conference.   If so, I would appreciate if they can contact LaCretiah Claytor at Claytor.l@portseattle.org.

I thought this would provide alumni both an opportunity to build one’s network and to donate to a worthy organization.  Although it doesn’t include information about the RTC, I’ve attached this link to the National site: http://www.bignet.org/ for general and historical information about B.I.G.

Alumna Helps People Date

Hello Eric!
 
I’m sending you this email to let you know about a new development in my therapy practice. As you know, I’ve been developing my practice since I graduated with an M.A. in Psychology from Antioch in 2008, but the one issue that I did my best work with was helping people date. I’ve been working on incorporating this into my clinical practice, but what I’ve decided to do is spin out a seperate practice of date coaching.
 
In this practice, I start by working with clients to identify the beliefs that they hold that are keeping them from finding that special someone. These beliefs sometimes sound like “there’s no one for me to date in this town,” “there are no single people in my age range,” or “I can’t start dating until I lose 30 pounds.” There’s a neverending list of reasons why people belief they can’t be successful in dating, but each person’s beliefs are different.
 
After we’ve identified the beliefs that are blocking a client’s path, I use creative techniques to put into words and images to put together the picture of the ideal partner. At this point, it’s only a matter of weeks usually until this suitable mate walks into the client’s life. I’ve seen in work a number of times, it’s even worked for me.
 
I’m also been doing a lot of work with people who are going through breakups as well. I see these times as an opportunity to guide people to greater fulfillment and happiness–many times I can guide them to a better-suited partner for their next relationship.
 
I’m excited to share this new development with you Eric, and I hope that you can pass the message along to other Antioch alums. Check out my website for more information: http://www.KateLStewart.com. Look at  my Dr. Love Dating Blog if you’d like to see more ideas and tips on dating.
 
Thanks for your help, Eric!

Seattle Weight Training Classes - Any Recommendations?

I live in the North End of Seattle and need to find a non-noisy gym with a class.  (Note: Body Pump class is not it for me.) Or a reasonably priced trainer who will come to the Spartan Gym in Shoreline. I like the “Gravity” system at Prorobics but it is to far from where I live. Defined Fitness in Bellvue has a great program - to far and to much $$. Appreciate any suggestions. BTW, I am very petite .. 50 something.. if you  get my proactive drift.

Alumna Needs Advice

Hi,

This may be a long shot but it never hurts to ask. I’m spending alot of time in California helping out with my 88 year old mother. I would love and need a very flexible job. I am thinking something done over the internet so I can be here and in Seattle as needed. I have looked at the “work from home” websites promising thousands of dollars but most of those are scams. I have a background in nursing/psychology and teaching. If alumni have any suggestions or ideas, they would be very much appreciated.

Thanks,
