Among several other topics, Senator David Pearce spoke about the legislation he worked on regarding coverage for those suffering from eating disorders, a bill brought forth thanks to the dedication of Coach John Culp, on behalf of his daughter Laura. Representative Denny Hoskins addressed some of the challenges that have faced the House of Representatives this past session, as well as the election of House Speaker. Representative Dean Dohrman spoke about HB 170 to create a Military Liaison for the state, a role designed to preserve our state’s strong military tradition. New members in attendance had an opportunity to introduce themselves and say a few words about their business or organization. Clockwise from top are: Chris Medina of Homes for Heroes, Fr. Joe Miller from Sacred Heart Parish and Preschool, and Eva Rose Zamora with Financial Education Service. www.warrensburg.org 2 www.warrensburg.org 3 Central Missouri Speedway will reach an historical milestone on Saturday, September 5th when the track hosts its 50th Modified Special Payout Event since 1998.

Of the over 800 species found in North America, over 400 different kinds of birds have been identified in Missouri. Improve your bird watching skills at Lifelong Learning’s “Birds of Pertle Springs” program on Tuesday, Sept. 15 at 9:00 a.m. under the guidance of Kurt Dean, PhD and assistant professor of Biology and Agriculture at UCM. We will meet at Pertle Springs (first parking lot on the left from the main entrance) for an easy hike around the Pertle Springs grounds as we search for birds. Bring your binoculars! In case of bad weather, meet in UCM’s W. C. Morris Bldg, Room 118. www.warrensburg.org 6 CLICK HERE TO REGISTER!

We're borrowing three of these nine points because they are also great components for answering that universal networking question, "So what do you do?" Here are three ideas to consider when answering the question: PROBLEM: What's the problem your business solves for others? SOLUTION: How do you solve this problem, and keep it short and simple? And of course, Guy (or Walt) would ask--What’s your UNDERLYING MAGIC? What makes your company and the people special? Our favorite visual is from Bill Reichert, "Avoid 'purple farts'—adjectives that sound impressive but carry no substance. 'Next generation' and ‘ dynamic' probably don’t mean anything…Everybody thinks their software is ‘intelligent' and ‘easy-to-use,' and everyone thinks their financial projections are ‘conservative.' Explain your company the way you would to a friend at a cocktail party (after one drink, not five)." End the E-Mail See-Saw This September try this solution for the never-ending email see-saw. Phil Simon, author of "Message Not Received: Why Business Communication Is Broken And How To Fix It" says, if the person (or people) with whom you are emailing needs more than three emails to complete, understand or agree on the communication, pick up the phone or meet face-to-face. Remember, there is a general negativity skew to email. Your positive email is often seen as neutral by the receiver and there is a tendency for your neutral email to be thought of as negative. Turn over a new leaf this autumn by instituting the Three-Email Solution and see what happens.
