SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn with Leader's (L3 Series) with Bill & Heidi Dittmar
DESCRIPTION:The Art of Authentic Connection in Business: Define your value proposition and compete with clarity and confidence.\nThe Art of Authentic Connection in Business\nJust like every business must craft their “Unique Value Proposition” & “Brand Narrative” in order to Compete\, Survive & Thrive so does each of us as individuals.\nAs CEOs and growth leaders\, we demand that our organizations clearly define a compelling Unique Value Proposition and differentiated Brand Narrative in order to compete\, survive\, and thrive.\nYet many accomplished executives have never applied that same strategic rigor to themselves.\nIn competitive markets—especially within GovCon\, enterprise environments\, and emerging growth sectors—clarity of personal value is not optional. It is leverage. Deals are won\, partnerships are formed\, and trust is accelerated when leaders can articulate precisely what differentiates them and why it matters.\nThis interactive workshop moves beyond networking theory. It is a positioning exercise for leaders.\nKey discussion areas include:\nWhy authentic connection consistently outperforms transactional networking\nThe distinction between a résumé summary and a true executive value proposition\nHow clarity strengthens influence\, credibility\, and deal velocity\nAligning personal positioning with organizational strategy and growth objectives\nParticipants will leave with:\nA clear understanding of why personal positioning directly impacts organizational growth and market credibility\nA proven framework for defining their individual Unique Value Proposition\nA concise 5–6 sentence\, strengths-based Brand Narrative crafted during the session\nLive small-group practice articulating that narrative with clarity\, confidence\, and authority \nIf you cannot clearly articulate what makes you indispensable\, you risk becoming interchangeable.\nThis session is designed for CEOs and new business leaders who intend to lead conversations\, differentiate decisively\, and compete with clarity and confidence.\nSpace is limited. Registration required.\n👉 Register now to secure your spot.

SUMMARY:MIG Welding 101 NFK (16+)
DESCRIPTION:Learn the basics of MIG Welding in this introductory class.\nThis workshop is for any DIY person who can work a hot-glue gun and is ready to move to metal work with a basic wire-feed or MIG (Metal inert gas) welder. During this 2-hour workshop\, we speak about the different types of consumer welding (MIG\, TIG\, Arc)\, focusing on the easiest style which is wire-fed/MIG\, amperage vs voltage\, temperature vs wire-flow\, proper speed and flow techniques\, penetration vs burn through\, 110v vs 220v\, consumer vs professional\, and so on. This workshop aims to get you comfortable and secure enough to get hands-on creative experience\, then ready for custom fabrication and art creation in later workshops. Students will feel safe enough to start shopping after for a welder and supplies\, or to rent one for their projects. In this hands-on workshop\, participants will leave with a fun\, takeaway project.\nThis is a basic demonstration and hands-on steel welding for hobbyists. Required: Closed-toe shoes (no flops)\, long pants (no shorts)\, long sleeve cotton shirt or jacket that can take small sparks\, open mind\, open ears\, comfy shoes. Gloves are provided but it is preferred that you bring your own for fit- Goatskin or Deerskin gloves work well.Disclaimer:This is not a class to earn certifications. This class is purely a hands-on experience to provide access to a welder and the basics of how it works. Safe practices should always precede caution and participants attend at their own risk.\nDuration: 2 Hours\n(All materials included)

SUMMARY:Beyond the Buyer Persona: Mastering your Ideal Client
DESCRIPTION:Most startup founders navigate their growth using a paper map—they filter for job titles and industries\, then wonder why their “perfect” leads aren’t biting. In 2026\, a job title is just a coordinate; it doesn’t tell you the weather\, the current\, or if the fish are even there.\n​In this high-impact session\, we’re moving past static personas and into dynamic ICPs. We’ll show you how to stop “sailing blind” by using:\n​🔍 The Paper Map (Searchable Layer): The objective filters you use to build your list (Industry\, Stage\, Title).\n​🧠 The Deep-Sea Sonar (Learnable Layer): The hidden psychological traits you need to earn (Motivations\, Buying Behavior\, Risk Tolerance).\n​🧭 The Tactical Compass (The Bridge): The system for translating those deep “pings” into “clues” you can actually find and act on.\n \n​Stop guessing and start navigating. We’ll cover how to find this data\, how to verify it through behavior\, and why speaking where your audience already hangs out beats screaming into the void.
