Conscious Cocktails, featuring Sobar
Presented by Beth Sandbower Harbinson
The founder of Sobar – party with a purpose
Close to 20% of the adult population in the U.S. is in recovery from alcoholism or addiction or taking medications where drinking is contraindicated. And yet, there are few alternatives to alcohol that cater to those in recovery, designated drivers or those who choose to live alcohol-free. It was when she was behind the scenes at a VIP Bar for a concert that Beth conceived of Sobar. Why not celebrate sobriety and offer innovative, sophisticated, even healthy non-alcoholic beverages at parties, festivals, sporting events and concerts? Sobar is hoping to do just that: Kick-ass party – no booze!TM
Beth has committed to local efforts focused on reducing the stigma associated with alcoholism, addiction, and mental illness and providing greater access to treatment resources. Come network with us, meet Beth and sample some of her creations. We’ll be outside in the backyard of insight180 – weather permitting – just up Merryman Street.

The Leadership Circle: What Goes Around Comes Around
Presented by Wendy Moomaw
Executive and Leadership Coach, Facilitator and Speaker; Executive Director, Conscious Capitalism of Central Maryland.
Join Conscious Capitalism of Central Maryland as we explore the pillar of Conscious Leadership.
Is your leadership effective in these times of increasing volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity? How can leaders increase their own complexity? The outer game of leadership is focused on processes such as the effective allocation of resources: people, time and money. In addition, the Leadership Circle has done research that has identified competencies that are strongly correlated with effective leadership. Learn what is possible when you shift the inner game of leadership. Discover the tool that can help you uncover what drives the leader, how they define themselves, what is important to them and what they believe.
“When we experience the world as “too complex” we are not just experiencing the complexity of the world. We are experiencing a mismatch between the world’s complexity and our own at this moment…There are only two logical ways to mend this mismatch – reduce the world’s complexity or increase our own.”
– Robert Kegan and Lisa Lahey, Minds at Work

Wendy coaches leaders and their teams by integrating tools across the coaching and facilitation spectrum including emotional intelligence, team coaching and facilitation modalities, somatic sensing, and the interplay of energy dynamics.
