RPA will hold its Annual Meeting and Election of Officers and Directors at this meeting.

Don’t miss a special presentation by  Smokie Sizemore, CPCC!  Smokie is an experienced business and life coach.  She helps professionals ignite their self-esteem, confidence and power, and Smokie will provide RPA members with a 15 minute presentation  ”ALL STRESSED OUT AND NO ONE TO CHOKE!”  before the buisness meeting.  This is a fun participatory talk with tips that can be used right way if you can’t find someone to choke.

Stress is lived and talked about as a sacred condition, worn proudly like a mantle.  It causes more havoc in the work place, home and your health than can be measured.  When you know what happens in your body, why you don’t think well under stress, and how to slow knee-jerk reactions, you have the power to control yourself, create less stress, have a better work and home environment and enjoy a more fulfilling life.   

Smokie understands business from her personal experience starting and building an international flag business.  Burned out after 12 years, she worked with a coach to sell the business and begin life anew with less stress.   Smokie founded the Smart Woman’s Club www.smartwomansclub.com to help professional women ignite their career and lives.
