SUMMARY:04/07 - Decluttering as a Growth Strategy with Stacey Saed
DESCRIPTION:Join us on April 7\, 9:00-10:00 am\, for a virtual event with Stacey Saed\, an author\, artist\, and entrepreneur passionate about creating inviting living and working spaces. \nClutter is rarely neutral. It has volume. It has weight. And whether we realize it or not\, it quietly shapes how we think\, create\, and lead. \nIn this workshop\, Stacey Saed reframes decluttering not as a cleaning exercise but as a powerful growth strategy. Clutter becomes the static behind our creative conversations—the unseen drain on our time\, energy\, and resources. When our spaces are crowded\, our decisions slow. Our clarity dims. Our capacity shrinks. \nDrawing from personal and professional experience\, Stacey explores how removing physical clutter creates emotional freedom\, restores momentum\, and opens space for expansion—both personally and professionally. This is about what becomes possible when we intentionally choose what stays\, what goes\, and why. \nVirtual link to join: https://citycurrent.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_QNnYvl9VTAKKFaJRUnoBxQ

His extensive background and years of studying active shooter events give him a unique and practical perspective on this growing threat. A widely recognized security expert and frequent speaker\, Fidler is passionate about equipping others to protect themselves. He models his business around the company mission statement: “Empowering you to save lives\, including your own“. \nThis is not theoretical or fear-based—it’s about awareness\, preparedness\, and decisions we all face as leaders\, employees\, parents\, and community members.

The goal is to leave better informed and more confident\, with takeaways that can be shared immediately with teams and families. \nWhat prompted us to host this now is simple: Incidents are increasing\, and most people — even leaders — realize afterward that they were unprepared for situations they never thought would happen to them. \nWe’re finalizing headcount soon and truly hope you’ll join us. \nAgenda:\nPlease note the time change for networking and program start time\n7:30 – 8:00 a.m.  Registration / Expo / Networking will end at 8:00am\n8:00 a.m.             Breakfast Served\n8:15 – 8:30 a.m.  Program\n8:30 – 9:40 a.m.  Brink Fidler\n9:40 – 9:45 a.m.  Closing / Photo with guest speaker \nWe are now Registering as Flex Seating (Seat Filler) \nFlex Seating Registration happens once assigned table seating is full.
