One Minute Impression Workshop

One Minute Impression Workshop
Do you ever wish you said something you could take back? Have you had an opportunity to impress someone with your breadth of knowledge only to fall short? Do you have an upcoming meeting upon which your future depends? We have all been in one or all of these predicaments, especially as teenagers. As we move through school, the closer we get to graduating the greater the challenge to leave a lasting impression, especially on our parents, teachers, peers, prospective employers and college counselors. The One Minute Impression is a free 2-hour workshop sponsored by Oasis Toastmasters and Stars on Maine designed to introduce to students ages 13 to 17 how to say what you need to in one minute. A lasting impression can be positive, negative, or neutral. Learn how to leave a positive impression in one minute with the following topics: Educational Minute - Dazzle your audience with how informed you are on subjects of interest
  • Positive Mental Attitude - Uplift your personal attitude and the attitude of your audience
  • Humor - Lighten the mood of the room with a joke or two
  • Impromptu Speaking - Impress your audience with your ability to speak clearly and intelligently.
This event will be held at Stars on Maine 71 South Maine St. (above the Fallon Theatre). The workshop is capped at 15 students. To register, click https://dancestudio-pro.com/online/starsonmaine. The registration deadline is Wednesday, Dec. 4. For more information, contact Suzann Gilliland Peterson [email protected] or at 775-217-7223.     Sign up to receive updates and the Friday File email notices.

We reached out to the writer/submitter and got this info back...hope it's helpful. PBM: Pharmacy Benefit Managers are pharmacies that are owned by insurance companies. (CVS is one.) They negotiate with drug makers to get reduced pricing for medications, but they historically have not passed along those savings to patients. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/pharmacy-benefit-managers-staff-report.pdf MFN: Most Favored Nation pricing is a policy that means a country agrees to offer the same trade concessions (like tariffs or price reductions) to all member nations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). When applied to pharmaceuticals, it could disrupt global access, deter innovation, and obscure the deeper systemic issues in American health care. https://petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/05/22/the-global-risks-of-americas-most-favored-nation-drug-pricing-policy/Comment publication date: 6/23/25, 7:47 AMComment source: L E T T E R TO THE EDITOR
