March 2021 Chapter Event Recap
Our March NSA Chapter meeting was a wonderful mixture of nostalgic music, humor, inspiration, and standing ovations! We welcomed several first-time visitors and had an entertaining day together. Things feel a little more normal with group gathering and camaraderie.
Warm Up:
- Steven Detrick kicked off our morning acknowledging our new members.
- Gary Rifkin, NSA Past President, 2015 NSA Cavett Award winner, gave the Spirit of Cavett address on finding the people who ‘pour into you’. “Be a Cavett to others”. Wow… love it.
- Next up Jim Root, our Chapter Vice President, talked about “What is Success, Where to Find it?” Jim gave us several keys to finding success with time management, reality checks, and accountability. Good recommendations Jim! Follow his accountability recommendation and you will shine brightly.
The Main Event – “What if?… and What NOW???” – with Mike Rayburn ”
- Our feature speaker was all about looking at old things in a new way and he proved it right off the bat by playing the guitar in a new way. He set the stage for a great day! Mike Rayburn, LV Chapter Past President, CSP / CPAE, and Hall of Famer gave us his much-requested keynote presentation “What If?” and a peek into the newer “What Now?” topic. Mike has a unique view and innovative approach to becoming a “Virtuoso” in life and on the stage!
- Mike gave us three simple tools for harnessing our own unrealized potential and how questions can change mindset, perspective, and lead to the change we have the courage to act on. The afternoon included group brainstorming and self-reflection for revealing and becoming our own life virtuoso!
- Mike serenaded us several times throughout the day with fun spins on well known songs and an amazing solo guitar rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody.
- The “What If?” question is my new mantra – thanks Mike!!
