			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Women Entrepreneurs Inspire Conference &#8211; April 4th 2012</h2>
<h3>Join the entrepreneurial revolution!</h3>
<p>Entrepreneurship is the key to revitalizing Oklahoma’s economy and women are leading the charge. Here and across the nation, women are starting for-profit and non-profit ventures, developing innovative new products and services, winning patents, and creating new markets. Today, an estimated 50% of small businesses are owned by women (12.4 million firms generating $2.5 trillion in sales, 2007) and for the past two decades women-owned firms have grown at twice the rate of all other firms. Yet women entrepreneurs still lag behind male owned firms in key areas. </p>
<p>Women Entrepreneurs INSPIRE 2011 is a day-long conference designed to inspire women to pursue their passions, think big and turn their dreams into reality. We explore unique obstacles, demands and challenges women face when creating and growing their own ventures. The day will feature keynote addresses by leading women entrepreneurs from across the nation and from Oklahoma. Hands on breakout sessions will examine a broad range of practical issues to enable women to act on their dreams. The breakouts will include two tracks: Start-up and Growth. The Start-up track will focus on creating your own venture, while the Growth track emphasizes ways to grow your venture once it is up and running. This year, WE INSPIRE 2011 will also feature sessions on technology entrepreneurship and social entrepreneurship — inspiration for creating profits using innovative ideas and lessons on “doing well and doing good”. WE INSPIRE is an incredible opportunity to be inspired, to network and to tap your entrepreneurial potential!</p>
<h3>Please join us for a day of Inspiration!</h3>
<h4>Get inspired by women entrepreneurs from across the country and register for the 2011 We Inspire Conference.</h4>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Welcome to TTI Family First Does your family ever have trouble communicating? People around the world agree that communication is a problem in most families from time to time. To enhance your family relationships, we must learn to love our differences. This starts with understanding and appreciating what others bring to the family.</p>
<p>Typical processes to improve communication are not successful because they fail to take into consideration each person’s uniqueness. We each have our own unique way we must receive information; this process is a part of normal behavior. The TTI Family First process is all about loving our differences. Do you want to break down the communication barriers in your family? Let’s get started today!</p>
<p>Taking the assessment is quick and easy. Simply click the link below and follow the on-screen instructions.</p>
