Kirkwood's
Beyond
Rubies
Women's Conference March 18-19
Posted 28 January
2010
Take inspiring, funny
and famous people. Add scores of useful, informative workshops and
engaging sponsor displays. Mix in hundreds of Iowa women. Simmer for
two days on a college campus until fresh ideas, laughter and new
friendships appear. Re-mix and repeat for three decades.
That has been the recipe for success at Kirkwood Community College with
the long-running Beyond Rubies Women’s Conference. This year marks the
30th anniversary for this two-day journey of keynote speakers,
workshops and information sessions and more. The 2010 conference is set
for Thursday and Friday, March 18-19, with events planned in Ballantyne
Auditorium, Iowa Hall and nearby classrooms.
Each day’s session will include two keynote speakers plus nearly 96
workshops and information sessions on a vast array of topics.
Skill-building seminars on workplace knowledge, public presentation and
self-marketing will share the days with information on cooking,
exercise and learning more about eastern Iowa business, history and
entertainment.
• Thursday’s keynote session opener will feature business coach and
community leader Pam Hillary. Her “Personal Power: Be an Influencer”
presentation will encourage listeners to realize and grow their own
spheres of influence in life, work and family. Hillary will highlight
the key qualities of influential people and how to grow those
characteristics in your life. Pam Hillary brings a lifetime of
education, experience and insights to the Beyond Rubies audience,
including three decades of work with Deere & Company in Dubuque.
• Thursday afternoon’s keynote speaker is a familiar face and voice
that may bring surprising additional insights. KCRG-TV9 anchorperson
Beth Malicki will encourage attendees on “Managing Your Small
Business-YOU!” in a Ballantyne Auditorium discussion. She is the
co-anchor of KCRG’s nightly newscasts and the creator/host of her
award-winning weekly public affairs program, “To the Point.” Malicki
was an educator and journalist in Columbia, MO for six years before
moving to eastern Iowa. She will bring her practical ideas for making
strategic choices in modern women’s lives.
• Friday morning’s keynote address introduces Amy Dee-Kristensen and
her “Bold Woman Bliss” presentation. Her life experiences have taken
her to many countries, including a nine-year stint in Norway, where she
founded and managed a successful mail order business. She then returned
to the U.S, and started life over as a single parent, discovered her
skills at renovating a hundred-year-old house, and returned to college
as a nursing student in middle age. She will share this journey in a
fast-paced, humor-filled program that will also mix music and a message
of living a blissful life each day.
• The final Beyond Rubies keynote speaker features the unique
“Magicomedian” style of Lee Cole. Reviewers have observed that Cole
“turns a roomful of strangers into friends” as he mixes
sleight-of-hand, observational humor and more into a fun-filled time.
Cole has entertained at premier casinos, top cruise lines, leading
corporations and comedy clubs from Australia to his home state of Iowa.
Among the dozens of workshops and seminars, Beyond Rubies 2010 will
present “Conquer the Corridor,” an introduction to the cultural,
economic and entertainment values in eastern Iowa; “Developing Your
Indispensable Personal Brand,” “Image Education for your Everyday
Life;” “Can We Talk? Improving Couples Communication,” “Writing your
own Bucket List,” “Secrets to Managing Gen Xers, Millennial--and What
the Heck is an Echo Boomer?” and a presentation on the wind energy
industry in Iowa.
Other breakout sessions will teach wine and food pairings, public
speaking, personal assertiveness, plus two sessions on the history of
Cedar Rapids and Marion.
Early registration for the 2010 Beyond Rubies Women’s Conference is $99
for both days, including lunch each day. Early Bird rates will be
