Whether addressing thirty educators or an audience of 7,000 salespeople, Mimi Donaldson believes that "self-exposure is the key." She leads by example and uses her own hilarious successes, failures, and observations as the model.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="padding-bottom: 0px; text-transform: none; background-color: rgb(255,255,255); text-indent: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; padding-left: 0px; letter-spacing: normal; padding-right: 0px; font: 12px/18px helvetica, arial, sans-serif; white-space: normal; color: rgb(120,120,120); vertical-align: baseline;   word-spacing: 0px; padding-top: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;border: 0px;"&gt;Her mission now is on a grand scale: she is devoted to inspiring and motivating others to be the best they can be. Over half a million people have been entertained by Mimi Donaldson's combination of practical advice and sophisticated humor. When Mimi speaks, people listen, laugh and learn.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="padding-bottom: 0px; text-transform: none; background-color: rgb(255,255,255); text-indent: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; padding-left: 0px; letter-spacing: normal; padding-right: 0px; font: 12px/18px helvetica, arial, sans-serif; white-space: normal; color: rgb(120,120,120); vertical-align: baseline;   word-spacing: 0px; padding-top: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;border: 0px;"&gt;Mimi Donaldson's tried and true philosophies about life and business are why Fortune 500 companies hire her again and again, and why groups and individuals play her tapes repeatedly. Just as Tony Bennett is expected to sing "I Left My Heart in San Francisco," everywhere he goes, people ask Mimi to do her "Men &amp;amp; Women: Can We Talk?" speech (among other favorites) no matter if they've heard it twice before.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://www.scvchamber.com/events/eventdetail.aspx?EventID=674</link><pubDate>Tue, 23 Oct 2012 19:23:14 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Get Acquainted / Reacquainted Breakfast Meeting 6/6/2013 8:00 AM - 6/6/2013 </title><description>This informational meeting introduces new &amp; current members to Chamber programs, committees, networking opportunities, special events and explains the benefits and value of Chamber membership.
