Hello,

Thank you to everyone who joined us yesterday at the Siouxland Business Summit! Whether you were able to attend in person or couldn’t make it this time, we wanted to share a quick recap of the powerful insights from our speakers:

🔹 Carter – Above or Below the Point & Overwhelm
Carter challenged us to examine whether we’re living above the point (taking ownership, accountability, responsibility) or below the point (blame, excuses, denial). He reminded us that awareness is the first step in overcoming overwhelm and regaining focus.

🔹 Stacey – The Importance of “BE”
Stacey highlighted how who you are being drives everything you do. She shared best practices to get the most out of your day, emphasizing clarity, intentionality, and presence as keys to productivity and fulfillment.

🔹 Adam – Know Yourself Through Change
Adam encouraged us to truly know ourselves—our strengths, values, and priorities—and to hold onto that foundation even when navigating change. Adaptation is important, but alignment with your core is essential for sustainable growth.

🔹 Linda – Legacy Living
Linda closed by inspiring us to think beyond success and toward significance. Legacy Living is about creating a life that impacts others positively, both in business and in service, ensuring that what we build continues to thrive beyond us.

✨ We’re grateful to our speakers for generously sharing their time and knowledge, and to you for being part of the Siouxland business community.
