Why do you YP?
"YP has been a great venue to expand my network outside John Deere. The speakers at the monthly luncheons are excellent, and I always walk away with ways how I can improve. The symposium is my favorite event with a great agenda, list of presenters, and networking opportunities. YP provides leadership opportunities that help me grow in my business and personal life."

How To Start Showing up For Yourself
Monica Ragsdale
An empty cup can’t pour into another cup, much like an emotionally-drained human can’t pour out much substance or be their best self in their relationships or their workplace. By proactively focusing on tending to your mental and physical well-being, rather than avoiding or suppressing psychological distress, you can show up for both yourself and for others.
And that’s where mindfulness comes in. Read Monica’s full article below.

The Dubuque Racing Association and Schmitt Island Development
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Moving Dubuque forward by investing in Schmitt Island and housing downtown to create a robust and thriving community through wealthy individuals who are looking to invest in areas just like Dubuque. Convince them this is where they should invest.
- “Your W-2 does not define your self-worth.”
- Life, job position, and money can all be gone in a minute. If you define your life by your job or job title, you will never be happy.Listen, be coachable, work hard, and follow the money.
- Go for it. If you are thinking about it, go for it.
- Go for the sale. Tell them what you want and be direct, especially when free money is involved.
- Win the week. Every week. Keep pushing. Ask the right questions.
- Create connections and stay in touch with people.
- How can YP help push Dubuque forward - show up, buy the concert tickets, hang out, embrace the community, embrace downtown, be involved in the arts, and have higher expectations for your city and what they can do with the great American asset of the Mississippi River.
- Never be satisfied with the status quo.
- Dubuque can be quaint and robust. We can make it both by investing in our community, showing up, and participating.
