Have you ever struggled with self-image, confidence or negative thoughts? Do you want to learn how to navigate emotions and organize your brain? Are you looking for a new way to manage your own mental health? As a society, we often describe “mental strength” as a positive attribute but we do not learn, teach, or support ourselves to develop and improve it. The Mentally STRONG Method can be learned and used to promote the development of mental strength.
The Mentally STRONG Method is based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) approach developed by Dr. Cristi Bundukamara, EdD, PMHNP, to overcome common challenges. It adds an organizational component to typical CBT which is designed to increase awareness on how one’s thoughts (cognitive) influence one’s choices (behavioral) and challenge negative thinking in order to make choices to improve one’s life.
Learn The Mentally STRONG Method as a framework that teaches you how to be Mentally STRONGer.
Continental Breakfast and Lunch included, also includes your own copy of “Discover the Mentally STRONG Method

Event Name:
Monthly Education Series - Does Your Logo Suck?!
Description:
Maybe your logo looks outdated, poorly executed, or just overall sucky. Perhaps it’s a matter of poor balance, awkward spacing, clashing colors, unreadable typography… or all of the above.
But more often than not, whether or not you think your logo sucks, it was likely created without a foundational brand strategy. That’s where we come in.
On September 27, 2022, Join the brand strategy experts at Neon Pig Creative to re-assess your logo from square one. We’ll dig deep into your brand’s soul and substance with the ultimate goal of creating a road map that will improve your logo from “suck” to “sleek”.
We’ll touch on your brand’s mission, vision, and values… those foundational aspects that influence the overarching aesthetics of your brand. We’ll also think outside the box through interactive brainstorming sessions, allowing you to assess your brand from angles you never considered.
But this won’t all be abstract marketing exercises. We’ll also get down to brass tacks and talk about some of the literal qualities that make for a strong logo. We’ll look at some of the best logos designed by the best designers of all time to discover common threads. From legibility and scalability to balance and contrast, we’ll delve into several criteria that will help you assess once and for all… does your logo suck?!
After taking this course, we’re confident it will only be a matter of time before it absolutely does not.
This class will be IN PERSON at the Tri-Lakes Chamber of Commerce in Monument, CO
