8 Minute Ripple for Small Business Development Program
Date of Event: 05-23-2011 Time of Event: 6:00-8:00PM
Steve will be hosting a public 8 Minute Ripple Connection event for the City of Austin's Small Business Development Program on May 23rd from 6-8PM.
SBDP event details are as follows:
The 8 Minute Ripple Connection Event (5/23/2011)
This is not your typical
business networking event. It is a networking experience for power networkers
and non-networkers alike! You'll experience a new way to build relationships
when you step outside the traditional box. Witness the fun and unpredictable
connections that can develop by crossing paths with those you might not
ordinarily meet. Traditional business networking functions are all about
posturing and performance. You show up, people ask you "So what do you do?", you
exchange business cards and then go home with a bunch of business cards and no
connections. The 8 Minute Ripple is WAY different! We create an environment that
is fun, interactive and far more likely to yield a positive result. Through this
form of interaction, participants have a truer appreciation for the people they
meet, discover potential connection points, common interests and opportunities
for further interaction. As one participant suggested, it's like putting
accelerant on the relationship. We couldn't agree more!

GenAustin Press Release
Date of Event: 04-10-2009 Time of Event: 8:00-9:30AM
BRAND YOUR BUSINESS TO SURVIVE AND THRIVE
AUSTIN, TX– April 10, 2009 – Standing apart from the crowdhas become a matter of survival. With the economy at its lowest point in decades, it is becoming increasingly crucial for businesses to maximize their resources by marketing themselves in an effective and calculated manner. A unique brand is a necessary part of this process. Looking to address how branding works in today’s volatile economy, the Girls Empowerment Network of Austin (GENaustin), will host a fundraising event, “Redefining Your Brand Image,” featuring Kerry Tate, former CEO and President of THE powerhouse public relations firm, TateAustinHahn. This event takes place on Friday, April 10th, from 8:00 – 9:30 AM at the Mexican American Cultural Center.
“We'll explore how people, places and things build reputation; an identity something quite different than recognition. It's what most of us wish we had known as young leaders in this world,” said TateAustinHahn Senior Council Kerry Tate.
Tate has helped create recognizable brands and marketing campaigns for Austin Energy, Whole Foods, and First Night Austin. During her discussion she will be addressing how to create a brand, the importance of brand placement in the marketplace, the positioning of a brand in the workplace, and how the development of personal identity as a "brand image" can impact the future success of Generation Y and beyond. Joining Tate will be Steve Harper, acclaimed author of The Ripple Effect, an innovative book on connection building and social and professional networking.
“With a change in the economic and political environment in our country, Kerry Tate brings a unique perspective on how to re-brand ourselves in preparation for the future,” said GENaustin Executive Director, Julia Cuba.
Individual tickets may be purchased for $25. In addition, memberships to GENerate, GENaustin’s educational networking group, are available for $300, and include access to a full year’s worth of GENerate events. Proceeds of GENerate go directly to GENaustin’s programs which serve the girls of central Texas.
GENaustin (The Girls Empowerment Network of Austin) is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization. GENaustin fosters healthy self-esteem in girls by engaging them to explore and define their personal values and build skills that empower them with confidence and courage to make wise choices.
