      <description>&lt;h2 style="margin-bottom: 0px !important; line-height: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#5B94A4" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://nsa-arizona.org/resources/NSA.PNG" alt="" title="" border="0"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;h2 style="margin-bottom: 0px !important; line-height: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#5B94A4" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;Last Story Standing - A Storytelling Competition&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-bottom:0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font face="Lato"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;Last Story Standing&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;font style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;is a storytelling competition owned and operated by the National Speakers Association (NSA) and is intended to raise awareness and heighten the importance and power of storytelling for professional speakers. &lt;em&gt;Last Story Standing&lt;/em&gt; includes three levels of competition: Chapter, Regional, and National. Below is the process, eligibility rules, and FAQs applicable to the NSA Arizona &lt;em&gt;Last Story Standing&lt;/em&gt; competition.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-bottom:0px !important;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Open Sans&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Lato"&gt;PROCESS&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;&lt;font&gt;Participants submit&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font&gt;a story-telling video,&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font&gt;no longer than 5 minutes in length&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font&gt;, by &lt;strong&gt;Friday,&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;December 4&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;, 2026&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;&lt;font&gt;Videos can be submitted to&lt;/font&gt; &lt;a href="mailto:matt@blueprintorg.com"&gt;&lt;font color="#1155CC"&gt;matt@blueprintorg.com&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;font&gt;via WeTransfer, a free file transfer service:&lt;/font&gt; &lt;a href="https://wetransfer.com/" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://wetransfer.com/&amp;amp;source=gmail&amp;amp;ust=1791298748187000&amp;amp;usg=AOvVaw2Wm_JB6DfmLng1brJN7-4v"&gt;&lt;font color="#1155CC"&gt;https://wetransfer.com/&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;
    &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;Judges will select the top ten videos. Those selected in the top ten will have the opportunity to present their stories in front of a live audience in the spring.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;
    &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;Submissions are judged on the following three categories: Purpose, Impact, and Delivery.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Lato"&gt;At the live event, tentatively scheduled for late February or early March 2027 at a venue to be determined, a three-judge panel will pick the winner of the NSA AZ &lt;em&gt;Last Story Standing c&lt;/em&gt;ompetition. The winner will go on to represent the chapter in the NSA regional competition, and may advance to the NSA National competition.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Lato"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ELIGIBILITY RULES&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;$99 Entry Fee - All entry fees are final, non-refundable, and cannot be transferred.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;&lt;font&gt;Must have&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font&gt;active membership&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font&gt;in the NSA Arizona chapter at the time of video submission.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;&lt;font&gt;Stories must be&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font&gt;no longer than 5 minutes in length&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;CPAEs, MDSGs, NSA National Board Members, NSA AZ Chapter Executives (President and President-Elect), and Previous Chapter and National Champions are &lt;u&gt;not&lt;/u&gt; eligible to participate in the competition.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;strong style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;font&gt;FAQs&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;" face="Lato"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Once I submit my story, can I change it if I reach the regional or national competition?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;" face="Lato"&gt;A participant &lt;u&gt;cannot&lt;/u&gt; change their primary storyline. The general story can be enhanced based on feedback/coaching received during mentor sessions, but the story at large must remain the same.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;" face="Lato"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;" face="Lato"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Can I use slides or props in my video submission?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;" face="Lato"&gt;No. Any use of slides or props will automatically disqualify participants.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;" face="Lato"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;" face="Lato"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Can my story be a little over 5 minutes long?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;" face="Lato"&gt;No. 5 minutes is a &lt;u&gt;strict&lt;/u&gt; cutoff. Any stories that go over 5 minutes will be disqualified.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;" face="Lato"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;" face="Lato"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Why is our chapter charging a $99 entry fee?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;" face="Lato"&gt;The winner from each chapter must submit a $500 entry fee to enter the NSA regional competition. The NSA AZ chapter will use the $99 entry fees to cover the $500 regional entry fee for our winner plus costs associated with the live presentation. Because this is an "elevated experience" compared to previous years, offering more opportunities for our members to speak and gain exposure, we have increased the entry fee accordingly.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;" face="Lato"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;" face="Lato"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Are all NSA chapter competitions operated in the same way?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;" face="Lato"&gt;No. Every chapter has discretion from NSA HQ to operate their competition differently.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;" face="Lato"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;" face="Lato"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Who can I contact with questions?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;" face="Lato"&gt;Matt Silverman, Director of NSA AZ Last Story Standing: &lt;a href="mailto:matt@blueprintorg.com"&gt;matt@blueprintorg.com&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href="tel:(847)%20946-6500"&gt;&lt;font color="#1155CC"&gt;(847) 946-6500&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Open Sans&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;font color="#333333" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;By registering for this event, you are giving permission for NSA-Arizona to add your contact information to our email list and to use any photographs that are taken at the event containing your likeness for as long as NSA-Arizona deems appropriate and desirable.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Projects Lab (9 Nov 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;h2 style="background-color: transparent; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 0px !important;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font color="#5B94A4" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;Who&lt;img src="https://nsa-arizona.org/resources/Pictures/Projects%20Lab%202025%20Banner.png" alt="" title="" border="0"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;h2 style="background-color: transparent; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 0px !important;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font color="#5B94A4" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;NSA-Arizona Projects Lab&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;What is it&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;? A casual, virtual co-working support space&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Why do it&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul style="margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Bursts of focused work with breaks promote productivity and reduce stress.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Focus intently on a project, content development, marketing, pitching, operational or administrative processes etc.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;It’s an opportunity to ask for feedback, share resources and support each other’s work&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;During the highly productive segments, you’re muted with your video on or off&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent; margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent; margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;How long is it&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;? 2 hours, once weekly&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;When is it&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;?&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;Monday from 12:00 p.m. -2:00 p.m. (excluding holidays)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul style="margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Project Lab may be expanded to an additional day and time if Monday participation merits expansion&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Who may attend&lt;/strong&gt;?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent; margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#222222"&gt;Project Lab Flow:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent; margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;Start at 12:00 p.m.&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul style="margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Welcome new participants to introduce themselves&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Each person shares their project, challenge or goal for the lab time&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;ul style="margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Take a break and share progress, ask any questions, share any related resources&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;A 40–50-minute work session is scheduled&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Topics or conversations that require more time can continue via the chat or participants can stay on zoom after the scheduled end time and continue supporting each other&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;What is it&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;? A casual, virtual co-working support space&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Why do it&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul style="margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Bursts of focused work with breaks promote productivity and reduce stress.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Focus intently on a project, content development, marketing, pitching, operational or administrative processes etc.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;It’s an opportunity to ask for feedback, share resources and support each other’s work&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;During the highly productive segments, you’re muted with your video on or off&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent; margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;How long is it&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;? 2 hours, once weekly&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;When is it&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;?&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;Monday from 12:00 p.m. -2:00 p.m. (excluding holidays)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Projects Lab (7 Dec 2026)</title>

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;What is it&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;? A casual, virtual co-working support space&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Why do it&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul style="margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Bursts of focused work with breaks promote productivity and reduce stress.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Focus intently on a project, content development, marketing, pitching, operational or administrative processes etc.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;It’s an opportunity to ask for feedback, share resources and support each other’s work&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;During the highly productive segments, you’re muted with your video on or off&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent; margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;How long is it&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;? 2 hours, once weekly&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;When is it&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;?&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;Monday from 12:00 p.m. -2:00 p.m. (excluding holidays)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul style="margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Project Lab may be expanded to an additional day and time if Monday participation merits expansion&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Why do it&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Bursts of focused work with breaks promote productivity and reduce stress.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Focus intently on a project, content development, marketing, pitching, operational or administrative processes etc.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;It’s an opportunity to ask for feedback, share resources and support each other’s work&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;During the highly productive segments, you’re muted with your video on or off&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent; margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;How long is it&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;? 2 hours, once weekly&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;When is it&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;?&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;Monday from 12:00 p.m. -2:00 p.m. (excluding holidays)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;What is it&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;? A casual, virtual co-working support space&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Why do it&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul style="margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Bursts of focused work with breaks promote productivity and reduce stress.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Focus intently on a project, content development, marketing, pitching, operational or administrative processes etc.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;It’s an opportunity to ask for feedback, share resources and support each other’s work&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;During the highly productive segments, you’re muted with your video on or off&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent; margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent; margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;How long is it&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;? 2 hours, once weekly&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;When is it&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;?&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;Monday from 12:00 p.m. -2:00 p.m. (excluding holidays)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul style="margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Project Lab may be expanded to an additional day and time if Monday participation merits expansion&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

Your Speaking Business: The Recipe for Filling Your Calendar with Paid Speaking Opportunities&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Lato" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Passion doesn't pay the bills — consistent sales do. And in the speaking world, sales are built on the right relationships. You must transform prospective clients into satisfied customers who become your personal sales team.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Lato" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;In this hands-on program, "The Chef of Success" and Certified Speaking Professional&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;™&lt;/font&gt; (CSP&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span&gt;®&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;) Frank Kitchen teaches emerging professional speakers the flavorful recipe needed to fill their calendar with paid speaking opportunities — using his S.P.I.C.E.U.P. Framework and the same proven techniques he used to go from unemployed and bland to being recognized by the National Speakers Association as one of the top professional speakers in the world.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Lato" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;WHAT PARTICIPANTS WILL EXPERIENCE&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Lato" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Through interactive activities, real-world examples, and Frank's proven S.P.I.C.E. U.P. Framework you'll gain the tools and strategies to attract the right clients, command higher fees, and build a speaking brand that sells itself — long after the program ends.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Lato" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;WHAT PARTICIPANTS WILL LEARN&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;How to craft the mindset of a highly paid professional speaker who gets chosen consistently&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;How to position yourself as an industry authority — not just another voice in the crowd&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;The 7 Actions needed to build trust, create consistent sales, and inspire lasting loyalty and transform your network into a personal sales force that books you before you even ask&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

Known for his engaging, practical, and high-energy style, Frank delivers keynotes that move audiences beyond motivation and into real execution.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#112138" face="Lato" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;With more than 30 years of experience in leadership development, performance, and adult learning, Frank blends real-world insight with research-backed strategies that resonate across industries. His work has impacted associations, corporations, nonprofits, government agencies, and educational organizations around the world.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#112138"&gt;Frank holds the Certified Speaking Professional&lt;font&gt;™&lt;/font&gt; (CSP&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font&gt;®&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;) designation from the National Speakers Association—an elite credential earned by fewer than 1,000 professional speakers worldwide. Frank is also the author of Fresh from the Kitchen, 52 Ways to Shine and The Live FRESH Workbook, books that extend his LIVE F.R.E.S.H.™ Framework into everyday professional application. His distinctive food-based metaphors create a shared language that makes learning stick long after the event ends.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#112138" face="Lato" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Audiences consistently describe Frank’s keynotes as engaging, relatable, and immediately applicable—leaving with clarity, confidence, and renewed momentum to start “cooking up” results they can see, measure, and sustain.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Why Do More Than 9 Out Of 10 Aspiring Speakers Walk Away from The High-Paying, Exciting Career Of Professional Speaking Every Year?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;They don't know the 7 Secrets All Top Speaking Professionals have learned and mastered - the key aspects of the Art, Business, and Content of professional speaking.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Movement: Attract and keep every audience’s attention, engagement, and enthusiasm.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Mindset: What you say to yourself is more important than what you say to the audience. Own the room by owning your own mind.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Prospect: In less than one hour and for free, find thousands of prospects eager to hire you.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Systems: A simple, automated infrastructure that turns suspects into prospects and then turns prospects into high-paying clients.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Profitable: Professional speeches must provide a solution to one of two problems. Solve these problems and event planners have to hire you!&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Construction: Every great speech takes the audience on a journey from trust, to anxiety, and finally to a practical solution.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Focus: Avoid “Shiny Object Syndrome.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Follow a proven plan and don’t get side-tracked by the countless distractions that present themselves.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong style="color: rgb(237, 28, 36);"&gt;EARLY REGISTRATION ENDS ON FEBRUARY 8. REGISTER EARLY TO SAVE!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
