Lincoln EmPower Breakfast

June 18 at 7:10 AM

25 years of bringing people together!

Why We Are Different

Focused on You: From Featured Speakers to table conversations, many people have a chance to speak at an emPower Breakfast. Experts, Sponsors, regular attendees ... and You! We try to give everyone a chance to share their stories...

An Intimate Event: We aren’t looking for hundreds to attend - our events feel like you could meet everyone if you tried.

Non-commercial: The emPower Breakfast does not promote any specific product, the presentations are not sales pitches. Our monthly event is non-membership and public; focused on fun and relationship building.

We finish on time: We pace our event quickly, so there’s never a dull moment!

Register now for the June emPower Breakfast! Featuring Adam Kroft - Partner | CEO

The Importance of Consistency. Wether it is with Marketing or building your business, you need to be consistent to be sustainable.

Reserved? No. Enthusiastic? Yes. Passionate? 100%. Always 100%. Adam is the rubber band ball of redthread. Take a ton of ideas, wrap them all together, throw it, and you have Adam bouncing around the room at incredible speeds. Through the whirlwind, Krofty is calling and meeting with potential clients, managing our accounts, and being one of the many smiling faces of redthread. Does he sleep? WE DON’T KNOW! Strengths: Positive Attitude | High Energy | People Person. Weaknesses: Quieting Down | Standing Still | Relaxing

ITEX will deliver new business through your door. Most businesses have slow moving inventory, unscheduled time, or under-utilized capacity. For more than 40 years ITEX has been helping small businesses turn those Non-Productive Assets into new sales, with new customers.

I started this business to heal people (that's what therapy means). My focus revolves around sports and fitness massage, pain management/pain relief, range of motion issues, detailed shoulder, neck, glute, and hamstring work. I can help you with headaches, TMJ, sciatic issues, and even low back/hip pain. Since I offer Full Body Massages, I block out 4 hours for new clients to make sure your Full Body is massaged based on your body's needs. The timer for your massage doesn't start until you're on the table and doesn't include the time you need to ask me questions and for us to get to know each other over hot tea or cold carbonated mineral water so that you're not getting on the table of a stranger.

SPEAKER

Speak at the emPower breakfast

Promote Your Business to a Wider Audience

There are two options for speaking at an emPower Breakfast event:

Featured Speakers

Being a featured speaker provided the business or individual to shine for 15 minutes. You want to follow similar guidelines as a 3-minute speaker. You need to make sure you provide good information that is relevant to most attendees on a topic that you are a thought leader on. Here you can bring a presentation and use the A/V system.

NOTE: Filling out the form places you into the queue to be a speaker. You will be notified of the month and day when you will be assigned. Use the Message field to make any special requests: Month, AV, etc.

Share Your Business With a 3-Minute Presentation At No Cost

Each month, there are opportunities to tell the group a little more about yourself by doing a 3-minute presentation on you and your business.

This is more than just an elevator speech – it’s an opportunity to share more information about who you are, what you do, and how you can help any of the people attending the emPower Breakfast.
