Dar Geiger, Author of “Reignite Your Joy: Let God Lead Your Dance Through Life
“Reignite Your Joy”
BIO:
Dar is on a mission from God to help families thrive and spread God’s joy to others. She has valuable advice to women going through midlife, feeling lost and without direction. She believes the first step to her finding purpose and identity was attaining physical well-being thru proper nutrition. A healthy body was essential to Dar in reinforcing her sense of spirituality and developing her relationship with God after losing her husband and then having breast cancer. She is passionate about JuicePlus+ and credits it for her health and well-being. In 2014, Darlene was chosen to be a Project Pink’d Calendar Girl.
Changing our perspective on the hurdles we face in midlife is the difference between growing and improving yourself both physically and emotionally or remaining stagnant and unfulfilled. Dar is clear in her direction from God as to what her mission in life is. She is a shining example of how to live a life filled with joy, despite the trials we face.

Grow Your Power: Know Your Finances for a Prosperous 2022”
BIO:Penelope Boehm is the owner of Boehm Business Services which provides bookkeeping services primarily in the non-profit sector. She graduated from Barnard College and has a Master’s degree from New York University. Although she never had any formal education in “bookkeeping”, after her son was born, she turned her self-taught knowledge into forming her own bookkeeping service so that she could be home with her family. She and her staff of six now handle roughly 80 clients each year.
The advent of computer programs to track money has made budgeting and financial planning accessible to individuals and not just companies. Women historically have lost their power in a relationship, family, or business by not being sufficiently conversant with the money flow in their lives, and sadly accounting professionals still often treat women -even business owners - as second-class citizens, either making decisions for them or speaking only to the men involved. Penelope feels that it’s important to help women understand the financial information that affects their lives or their businesses.

GUEST: Ellie Anbinder, Founder of Caregivers-Wellbeing
"It Happened by Accident...or did it?”
Ellie Anbinder has always had an inquisitive and questioning part to her DNA; she always asks questions about the “non-obvious” in life and as she has lived her life, has had multiple careers which centered around asking the hard questions and working toward answers to those questions.
When Ellie was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1991, her question was always: “why did I get this disease?” Since no one seemed to be able to answer the question she founded a non-profit to fund research the links between breast cancer and the environment. This mission was unique at the time and set into motion a new way of thinking about breast cancer.
The theme of finding out and asking question about untouched topics again arose for Ellie when she became the frontline caregiver for her husband who was suffering from Alzheimer’s. She noticed and lived through the loneliness and isolation of being a caregiver and started a consulting practice which provides a safe place for caregivers to discuss their questions and find resources to navigate through the difficult dementia process which affects not just the health of the patient but impacts the caregiver dramatically. Caregiver-Wellbeing is this new mission.

Casey is a speaker, author, leadership development expert and executive coach. During her career she closed millions of dollars in sales yet had humble beginnings. An introvert and reformed wallflower, she almost was fired from her first sales job by being a slow learner on insurance industry concepts. Additionally, the company required that sales reps memorize and deliver a nine-page speech verbatim. Casey saved her job when she excelled delivering the presentation and won a district-level speech competition. She stumbled onto a key realization – when you master your speaking and presence, you can win over any room, anywhere. She went on to smash sales records, enjoyed promotions and spent the latter part of her corporate career training and mentoring others.
Casey was a senior leader at Aetna, Cigna, and Sunrise Senior Living. At EmblemHealth she trained a sales force of several hundred and coached leaders and high potentials to improve their performance. Currently CEO & Founder of Speak & Own It Communications, she works with women executives across all industries to connect, lead, pitch, and speak and own every room in the virtual world.

: The Halpin Companies was formed in 1995 to fill a void Katharine saw every day in her CPA career.

She has facilitated processes to accelerate the growth of organizations by getting the right people, with the right strengths, in the right roles, focused on the right priorities. As a result, organic growth occurs when the team members feel safe to step up and speak up. Katharine is passionate about helping others create these work environments that impact whole industries and the economy because one company becomes the ‘employer of choice’ in their community.
Katharine is the author of Alignment for Success: Bringing Out the Best in Yourself, Your Teams and Your Company, and her e-book, The Respond, Not React Playbook both available on Amazon. Katharine’s forthcoming book, What Will That Take? will be published in 2021. She speaks at National and State Conference, virtually and in-person, as well as within her client companies.
