SALISBURY — The Rowan Chamber of Commerce announced that Tara Nylese, of “Ten Minute Mindfulness” prominence, will speak at the Power In Partnership (PIP) breakfast on Thursday, Dec. 14, 7:30 a.m. at Trinity Oaks (728 Klumac Road)

Rowan Helping Ministries and Rowan Meals on Wheels are sponsoring the December PIP.

Nylese is the local best-selling author of “Mindfulness in Everyday Life,” which earned top recognition in Amazon’s Business Health & Stress category, and in Work-Life Balance.

She founded the Ten Minute Mindfulness Program as a short and straightforward method to improve mental and emotional well-being in personal and professional lives. As a career-long scientist in large corporations, a lecturer and a trainer, Tara takes a scientific approach to workplace wellness with empowerment training for results-driven organizational success.

Other PIP speakers include top North Carolina elected officials and business leaders. The dates for the rest of the PIP season are (2024): Jan. 18; Feb. 15; March 21; April 18; and, May 16. The chamber’s popular Power Card will once again be offered for those who would like to take advantage of the PIP frequent attender program. Power Card holders receive a discounted price for the series and do not have to make a reservation each month.

The chamber’s breakfast programs average more than 120 attendees each month. Sponsors will have the exclusive marketing rights to the banquet room and provide a five-minute sponsor profile on their company. Partner agencies will share updates with the local business leaders and address issues of concern for the entire region. The Leadership Rowan Class will start their day at the breakfast and then venture out for each day’s session focused on a different aspect of the community.
