Evento emPower

Sarpy County EmPower Breakfast

June 16 at 7:30 AM

25 years of bringing people together!

Why We Are Different

Focused on You: From Featured Speakers to table conversations, many people have a chance to speak at an emPower Breakfast. Experts, Sponsors, regular attendees ... and You! We try to give everyone a chance to share their stories...

An Intimate Event: We aren’t looking for hundreds to attend - our events feel like you could meet everyone if you tried.

Non-commercial: The emPower Breakfast does not promote any specific product, the presentations are not sales pitches. Our monthly event is non-membership and public; focused on fun and relationship building.

We finish on time: We pace our event quickly, so there’s never a dull moment!

Register now for the June emPower Breakfast! Featuring Matthew Tompkins - Founder Entrepreneur

Featured Speaker

Matthew Tompkins

Marketing Is the Most Misunderstood Leadership Function: The Cost of Failing to Lead the Perception Operating System

Matthew Wayne Tompkins is the founder of Entrepreneur Addict, a containment-based education platform focused on helping entrepreneurs and leaders navigate pressure, complexity, and modern business realities without burnout, collapse, or false narratives about performance. Entrepreneur Addict integrates systems thinking, perception leadership, and containment principles to address how leaders actually operate under sustained pressure — in business, decision-making, and growth. Matthew brings more than 17 years of experience across radio, television, and content strategy, and previously founded Two Brothers Creative, a content marketing and video production firm that worked with CEOs, founders, and leadership teams across multiple industries. His work today focuses on helping leaders understand and lead marketing at the system level — translating complex modern environments into clear, leadable frameworks that restore clarity, confidence, and control.

SPEAKER

Speak at the emPower breakfast

Promote Your Business to a Wider Audience

There are two options for speaking at an emPower Breakfast event:

Featured Speakers

Being a featured speaker provided the business or individual to shine for 15 minutes. You want to follow similar guidelines as a 3-minute speaker. You need to make sure you provide good information that is relevant to most attendees on a topic that you are a thought leader on. Here you can bring a presentation and use the A/V system.

NOTE: Filling out the form places you into the queue to be a speaker. You will be notified of the month and day when you will be assigned. Use the Message field to make any special requests: Month, AV, etc.

Share Your Business With a 3-Minute Presentation At No Cost

Each month, there are opportunities to tell the group a little more about yourself by doing a 3-minute presentation on you and your business.

This is more than just an elevator speech – it’s an opportunity to share more information about who you are, what you do, and how you can help any of the people attending the emPower Breakfast.
