​It Started With An Ask - How I Negotiated My Way To Kenya
​​At our October 7th Bead Society meeting, our speaker will be Eldonna Lewis Fernandez. In the speaking and training world, Eldonna teaches people how to Think Like A Negotiator. She had no idea that her negotiation strategies would teach her a valuable lesson about asking for exactly what you want. Asking was the springboard to a new life working with women in a slum in Kitale, Kenya. Join us to find out how she got started on this journey and how her background as a retired Air Force veteran, speaker, trainer and Harley rider have shaped the path she's on now.
