- Frustrated by prospects that stall the process and say that they want to ‘Think it over’
- Proactive prospecting is not happening; no structured prospecting system with defined activities in place
- Frustrated by relying on discounting your price; giving away too much
- Can’t seem to get through to decision makers often enough; dealing with the supporting cast and not the stars
Learn new techniques that will assist you to:
- Fill your pipeline with real opportunities
- Develop business from scratch
- Implement a systematic, repeatable selling system
- Shorten your sales cycle; stop chasing “let me think it over”

| May 10 On-Ramping: A Career Workshop for Moms Returning to Work |
Are you a mom who chose to “off-ramp” to have a family? Now you’re thinking of returning to work and asking yourself, “How do I get started?” You may think your skills are too rusty, or that technology has left you behind. But the work world is hungry for talent—your talent!
This half-day workshop will equip you with the skills you’ll need to “on-ramp” back into the workforce with energy, confidence and lots of support.
By attending this event you will discover:
- The “on-ramping” phenomenon is widespread—don’t panic, you’re not alone!
- How your gifts and talents absolutely are still relevant
- Strategies for building (or reviving) your network
- The many resources already at your fingertips to help you with your transition
- Action steps to give you traction and move you with velocity toward your goal of returning to work
You’ll also hear from a stellar panel of women who were stay-at-home moms and successfully made the transition back to work.
This workshop will make a huge difference in how quickly and effectively you move from being a full-time mom to a working-outside-the-home mom. Whether you’re looking to “on-ramp” back to your former profession or you want to create an entirely new career, this workshop is for you!

“WHEN: The Truth About Timing"
A Book Review by Vickie Austin
(And You Don’t Have to Read the Book!)
Timing, as they say, is everything. We often think of timing as random, but what if it isn’t? What if successful timing around decisions in our work, our businesses and our lives is based more on science than on serendipity?
Vickie Austin, business and career coach and founder of CHOICES Worldwide, will share from Daniel H. Pink’s new book When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing. Bringing her popular “Biz Books Review” format to the luncheon, Vickie will capture the essence of this newly-released book by one of the most popular business writers of our time. Come enjoy the company of your chamber colleagues while discovering how to leverage the science of “When” and perfect timing for yourself.
Our Luncheon Menu includes
Tomato Bisque Soup
Grilled Chicken Breast with Picatta sauce, served with Whipped Potatoes and Green Beans or
Balsamic Grilled Vegetables and Sun Dried Tomato Vinaigrette
Lemon Berry Cream Cake

| May 17 The County Seat War: Naperville vs. Wheaton |
Very soon after 1500 DuPage citizens served in the Union army during the Civil War, the county was stricken by another north/south conflict right at home. For some years, the only important political question in DuPage was whether the county government would be in Naperville or Wheaton. Previous political affiliations and many friendships and affections were burnt up in the emotional intensity of this conflict. 2018 marks the 150th anniversary of the dispute. The story involved riots and claims of rigged elections. Presented by Bob Shuster of the Billy Graham Center Archives of Wheaton College.
This program is co-sponsored by the City of Wheaton Historic Commission as part of Preservation Month. |

| May 31 Social Media & the Brain |
| Social Scientists have debated the positive and negative psychological effects of computer social networks for nearly two decades. This talk will trace the history of the development of computer social networks, focusing on their effects on human psychology and brain processes. We will examine the extent to which these networks represent a fundamentally new kind of interaction that will enhance social connections, a downward spiral into isolation through artificial connections that will tear apart our social fabric, or more of a natural extension of traditional social networks. Presented by COD professor Ken Gray. |
