How to Get Instant Trust, Belief, Influence, and Rapport!
2019-06-27 18:30 - 21:30 | Thai Garden Restaurant, 1014 Commonwealth Blvd, Tupelo, MS, 38804, US
Cost: $10, cash or card
Learn how to get trust, influence, belief and rapport quickly.
Why can’t we convince others? And why won’t people listen?
We say great things to people. We offer great products. We share our vision and passion.
And they don’t believe us, they don’t buy, and they don’t share our vision and passion.
We don’t need more good things to say…we need to learn how to get people to believe and trust the good things we are saying already.
People make an instant decision to:
1. Trust us. Believe us.
2. Turn on the salesman alarm. Put on the “too good to be true” filter. Be skeptical. Look for “the catch.”
This decision is immediate, and unfortunately, usually final.

The End of All Happy Hours
2019-06-26 18:30 - 21:00 | The End of All Music, 103 Courthouse Square, Oxford, MS, 38655, US
We’re back at it! Every Wednesday night in June we’ll be spinning records for Happy Hour starting at 6:30 at the new Saint Leo Lounge…just down the street from Saint Leo.
Each week we’ll be selecting an array of records to play that’ll focus on one particular genre, style, or artist. Starting on May 8th we’ll be celebrating Jazz Fest and spinning all New Orleans records. All vinyl.
The bar will serve cocktails and food specials that coincide with the records.
The idea is to give folks a chill place to get a drink and hear some records they may not hear elsewhere. We’re going to mix it up each week so it’ll always be different…same goes for the cocktails and food.

“50K Giveaway: How United Way Took a New Approach to Fundraising”
Presented by Robin McKinney, Director of Communications at United Way of Northeast Mississippi
United Way of Northeast Mississippi has been raising funds to support local nonprofit organizations since 1961, mainly by engaging employees to give through payroll deduction at their workplaces. But due to changes in workplace culture, generational attitudes, and technology, United Ways across the country have had to adapt and find new ways to engage individuals and raise the money they invest back into the community. In 2018, facing a potential shortfall of $200,000 from their campaign goal, United Way decided to get creative and find a way to get more people giving and engage people who had never participated in the United Way campaign. Along with an amazing team of volunteers, United Way raised over $245,000 through the $50K Giveaway. Robin’s presentation will share some of the ideas and challenges that made this event such a success for our region.

She takes pride in working with an organization that touches the community in so many ways through its partnerships with over 60 nonprofit organizations that change lives in our region. One of Robin’s projects through her years at United Way has been coordinating the Back 2 School project which provides free school supplies for over 3,000 students in Northeast Mississippi each year.
Robin is one of the founders of Groundswell Community Collective, a United Way young leaders group for Northeast Mississippi. Groundswell encourages young adults to get more involved in the local community through philanthropy, volunteerism, and personal development. Robin is also one of the co-founders of Volunteer Northeast Mississippi, a member of the Volunteer Mississippi network and a partnership between United Way and the CREATE Foundation. She has also been involved in Lee County Excel By 5 since its founding, as well as the Campaign for Grade-Level Reading.
Robin has a master’s in Nonprofit Management from Northeastern University in Boston and a bachelor’s in English from The University of Mississippi – Ole Miss. She graduated from Nettleton High School
