Hamilton County Creates Summer Youth Jobs.  Sisters In Business Welcomes Opportunity to Support!

 

 

Sisters In Business applauds the efforts of Hamilton County for the creation of summer youth jobs for area youth this summer as part of the "Summer Youth Leadership Development and Work Program" This initiative also mirrors similar support offered by Sisters in Business Youth In Business- AYES Strategy.   Read more about County's initiative in following section.

 

Commissioners in Hamilton County approved a resolution for the "Summer Youth Leadership Development and Work Program".  The program is only in its infancy, but Commissioner Greg Beck says that this could make a big impact in the community.

Said Greg Beck according to WTVC local news report "This is just a very small step in trying to reach all those kids.  I hope that companies will come on board. 

It is hoped that next year the initiative will make for hiring even more young people.

Commissioners say the program will work very much like a regular job, and will be a good way for teens to learn the value of responsibility.

Synthia SAINT JAMES Empowers SIB '2nd Annual' Expo with Fine Art
 

The Keyword Is Empowerment!

Chattanooga, Tennessee - April 30, 2007 Synthia SAINT JAMES, internationally renowned Fine Artist, and creator of the first U. S. Kwanzaa Postal Stamp, which was commissioned by the United States Postal Service, has joined the Sisters In Business (SIB) Network. She is a SIB lifetime member and special sponsor of the art display and silent auction for the Sisters In Business "2nd Annual Business Women's Empowerment Luncheon & Business Showcase".

The artwork donated to Sisters In Business, entitled "Empowerment" was originally created for Girls Inc-Los Angeles, California, which brings with it a bit of irony as Sisters In Business seeks to also benefit Girls Inc of Chattanooga, Tennessee, while empowering all youth in the area.

"Empowerment" was also the keyword used by Ms. Kelly when searching online; and ultimately led to what is now a sisterhood between two 'heart and soul' business women, with reciprocal links between both of their websites. Says the Sisters In Business Founder/CEO Tekelia C. Kelly, "Our paths have crossed because our purpose is one and the same-- to empower women, girls, and communities all over."

Additional artwork by Synthia SAINT JAMES entitled "Precious" and "Sisters In Spirit" can be found on the SIBay portal of the company's website, located at www.sistersinbusiness.net. These prints will also be exhibited and for purchase during the event. For more information about the event see below.

Next, read Synthia SAINT JAMES' comments about Sisters In Business, and the special art provided for the event.

From: Kikusaintjames Sent: Friday, April 13, 2007 To: tekeliakelly Subject: "Empowerment"
My art is a very special spiritual gift that I humbly accept and deeply respect. I could have never imagined all the joy that I have been able to share with people all over the world because of this blessing.

But one of my greatest pleasures has been creating signature images for non-profit organizations enabling them to raise funds for their worthy causes. Sisters In Business is ALL about empowering women and girls, and that IS so much what I'm about.

Originally "Empowerment" was conceived as the possible signature image for Girls Inc., Los Angeles, but actually became the signature image for MOSTE, Motivating Our Students Through Education, a mentoring program for African American and Latina middle school girls. How kismet is it that Tekelia "Googled" [Internet Search Engine] and found me and my art, searching the word "empowerment".

How Do You Know You Are Understood? by Beverly Inman-Ebel, Talk Listen Communicate
 

 

How Do You Know You Are Understood?

By Beverly Inman-Ebel

So often when someone is talking to us, we might shake our head in agreement and turn to leave because it is obvious that we have received the message.  That scenario is like the receiver who sees the ball coming right to him, so he turns to see how he is going to run with it, thus, dropping the pass. In football, you get four chances to make ten yards.  In life, you may only get one chance to get it right.

Your brain is constantly scanning information and sorting it into similar categories.  This occurs without conscious thought.  It is very similar to hearing the first three notes of a song and guessing the title. When conversations matter, slow down the process.  So what if you think you already know the song?  Let the person sing.  You may find out you were wrong.

Here are some tips to slow you down:

·         Keep your lips together and breathe through your nose.  It is very hard to interrupt this way.

·         Place your body in a relaxed position.  If sitting this could be leaning back in the chair with feet apart and your elbows on the arms of the chair.  Standing could be feet shoulder width apart with one thumb tucked into a pants pocket.

·         Using your own words, rather than the ones you just heard, repeat back your understanding of what the person said.

Slowing down only takes a minute or even thirty seconds in some cases.  It usually takes longer than that to correct a misunderstanding.  If you don’t have time to listen patiently, don’t listen at all.  Explain to the individual that you cannot listen now and quickly get a time scheduled when you can listen.  It is far better to postpone listening than to half-listen.

Understanding what another person means is the key to connecting with them.  Most words have at least five different definitions in the dictionary.  Which one is the speaker using?  If you think it can’t make much of a difference, think again.

Verbs and adjectives carry a lot of emotion in the message.  To confirm understanding, reword those verbs and adjectives to ensure you’ve got it.  For instance, if a person says to you, “We need a big sale now!” and then goes on talking, you could confirm, “So, our department will meet our target goal by selling $100,000 by the end of this week, right?”

Whenever another person is speaking in long or complicated messages, re-state what you understood them to say, before you take action.  This requires a little extra time on your part, yet it can save a big misunderstanding and the time it takes to correct it.  When you let the other person know what you have heard and they agree, you know you have understood.  And just as important, the other person knows that you have taken the time to understand.

Beverly Inman-Ebel is the CEO of TLC, Talk Listen Communicate, LLC in Chattanooga.  She and her staff provide communication training in groups or individually.  www.talklisten.com  423-622-TALK (8255)
