Or are you struggling against an "internal income ceiling"? Does the economy have you down? In this powerful evening seminar\, Mikelann Valterra\, founder and director of The Women's Earning Institute\, explores "underearning"- the pattern of earning below your potential. She addresses the psychology of why women undersell themselves and most importantly-what to do about it. Women are in greater danger of underselling themselves in this economy. Don't let this happen to you! This will be a very useful and thought provoking evening\, so be prepared to be engaged and energized. Here is just a portion of what you will learn in this seminar: * Identify the five hidden forms of underearning (and how they may be costing you money!) * Explore the concept of "noble poverty"-is it holding you back? * The impact of the "money fog" on our earning ability * How women under price themselves and what to do about it * 2 powerful negotiation strategies that conquer the "good girl syndrome" Mikelann knows there are a lot of amazing women who are not earning at their potential. Are you one of them? From expecting less money than men\, to difficulty in asking for what they really want\, women deal with complex emotional issues around earning money. You will leave this seminar with deep personal insights into your earning issues and actionable steps you can take to earn more. What women say: "....Mikelann's techniques helped me open my mind up to new possibilities." "Your talk was amazing! It gave me the courage to affirm my worth with someone right away yesterday...." "I had many "aha" moments during Mikelann's Earn Your Worth seminar...." Who is Mikelann Valterra? Mikelann Valterra is passionately devoted to empowering women to earn what they are really worth.

With the advent of the personal computer\, the debate raged about the true usefulness of computers in the workplace. In the 1990's\, Internet usefulness became a popular deliberation - Did businesses really need a website? Now here we are - asking the same questions again\, this time about The Cloud. The true question isn't if cloud computing will be part of our future\, but when and how? What emerging policy issues need to be addressed? How do you know that a decision to move into the cloud is the right decision? This session will discuss the advantages and pitfalls of moving a cloud environment as well discuss the driving forces behind the California Public Utilities Commission's recent launch of it's own internal cloud environment. Carolyn Lawson Chief Information Officer California Public Utilities Commission Carolyn Lawson represents both the California Public Utilities Commission and the State of California in the national discussion of IT issues and policies related to eService delivery in government. She is a leader in the national discussion of public policy issues related to web-based services\, including the integration of Web 2.0 and cloud computing into the state's environment. Ms. Lawson is currently examining the complex issues brought on by the cultural shift from a paper-based society to an e-based society\, the new expectations of the general public\, the changing face of our workforce and what that means to the delivery of governmental services. Ms. Lawson speaks and teaches nationally on these and other topics. Ms. Lawson sits on several boards including the board of directors for Project Pipeline ( www.projectpipeline.org )\, The Conference on California's Future (http://www.govtech.com/events/cal-future )\, and Editorial Advisory Board\, InformationWeek (http://www.informationweek.com ) Gourmet dinner and wine are included. $20 online $30 at the door.

Now that the mobile consumer has arrived\, the pressure is on content creators\, aggregators and distributors to deliver a business model that works. Mobile Entertainment\, a "promising" market for years\, has traditionally failed to deliver. We've been hearing about the upcoming explosion of mobile video for half a decade\, but the unicast/capacity and broadcast/control paradoxes have prevented success. Mobile music hasn't taken off due to carrier control\, rights issues\, high prices\, and bandwidth constraints. Mobile gaming hit a plateau and has had trouble penetrating beyond the early adopters. Yet despite the track record\, at this juncture\, it seems Mobile Entertainment finally has the foundation needed to truly advance: Powerful handsets\, better UI\, faster networks with more capacity\, and the related growth of online web media all create the perfect storm for mobile delivery of media. Certain devices and consumer segments have demonstrated a nascent demand for entertainment devices\, applications\, and content. In this meeting\, we will look at the future of mobile entertainment\, examine the likely business models\, and discuss the ever-relevant issues of open\, ownership\, dumb pipes\, and control. We will challenge our speakers and participants to prove to us why now is the time for mobile entertainment\, and where the opportunities can be found. This meeting is free to Council members\, and $200 for non-members. Please contact Sarah@telecomcouncil.com for more information on the benefits of being a Telecom Council member.

Our July session will be focusing on 'The Current State of the CleanTech Bubble'. After rising to #2 in 2008 in the PwC Money Tree\, cleantech investing plummeted 75% in Q1'09 to #4 in the industry rankings\, after Software\, Biotech\, and Med Devices. Many of the cleantech deals that required over $50M in venture financing and hundreds of millions in project finance are either dead or pursuing new strategies that are more capital efficient and require less debt. Scores of companies are applying for government funds to supplement their equity base. Come listen to and quiz our panel of experts to see if the cleantech bubble has burst or if this is simply the pause that refreshes the industry.
