BBC Friday 19 July 2019 – “Walking Your Talk” w/ David Weinstock

Join us this mid-summer BBC Friday for a delightful presentation from David Weinstock, “Walking Your Talk.” David will offer a taste of his work, Somatic Consensus (SC). SC practices train across physical, emotional, linguistic, intellectual, and intuitive domains to build daily practices for building empathic faculties, harmonizing conflict, finding your voice – and walking your talk.

David is a certified international trainer of Nonviolent Communication, executive director of Liminal Somatics (liminalsomatics.com), Originator of Somatic Consensus (youtube.com/watch?v=lOrOdk1AM3Q&feature=youtu.be), master goldsmith (goldmuse.net), Aikido instructor, and author of Becoming What You Need: Practices for Embodying Nonviolent Communication (amazon.com).

David and his wife Judith, along with eight others, co-founded an intentional community where they have raised their family since 1990. All of David’s work – in particular his present organization, Liminal Somatics – is based on building our connection to one another and toward a healthy stewardship of the earth. (Note: some of you may recall it was Judith Weinstock, Alexandra Rust, Liz Matteson, and Irene Clark who, in 1985, nurtured to maturity Bainbridge Island’s brilliant culinary institution “The Streamliner Diner.”)

Be here, be free, be businesswise. For, in a sense, me hearties, as serial entrepreneurials, we all be business wise!

So Invite your friends and associates to come join us for this exciting non-virtual non-cloud event in real time and real space…and another delicious cup of BBC!

BBC Friday 7 June 2019 – Branding Bainbridge, Part 2

This BBC Friday join us for Branding Bainbridge, Part 2. A Business Brainstorming Roundtable. We’ll pick up where we left off last time….  We also have an update on Exciting ideas For Business & “Way-finding” Signage On Bainbridge! (Note: City Signage Info Packet pdf.)

How can Bainbridge become a year-round (off season) event, art, culinary, and recreation destination? How about an annual “Bainbridge Island Rain Festival!” How might the many places, products, and businesses on Bainbridge fashion a unified Island identity? AND how can a new Island business and way-finding signage program fit into development of an Island-wide identity?

What message do we, as a place on Google maps, represent to the outside world, to visitors, to those considering moving their businesses to Bainbridge? Are we as an island looking to our community and regional future with innovation and creativity? 

A Bainbridge Brand should be true to our message: to visitors, businesses, and residents. Once again — one more time — Bring your thoughts, ideas, visions, brains, for a lively Bainbridge Brand Business Strategy Roundtable. (Cf. visitbainbridge.com.)
