November 2026 Meeting -
Your Yeses Are Building Your Life
PRESENTER: Paula Mathias, Author of The Yes Test Method and Speak Up
Tuesday, November 10, 2026
11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
Your Yeses Are Building Your Life
How the choices you make shape your career, your life, and what comes next.
Every yes is a choice—and those choices add up. Are they moving you toward the career and life you want, or are you saying yes out of habit, obligation, or because it’s simply what you’ve always done?
Whether you’re growing in your career, reinventing yourself, or figuring out your next move, Paula Mathias Fryer challenges you to get more intentional about what you say yes to. Drawing from her book The YES Test Method, she’ll share a simple three-question framework to help you pause, make better choices, and put your time and energy toward what matters most.
Because a thousand tiny yeses can build a life. The question is: Is it the one you want?

Spotlight Speaker
Speaker: Toy Bank of Greater Paso Robles
HRCC is pleased to welcome the Toy Bank of Greater Paso Robles as our November Spotlight Organization!
Since 1994, the Toy Bank of Greater Paso Robles has been an all-volunteer, community-based nonprofit dedicated to bringing holiday joy to local children and families experiencing financial hardship.
During our November Spotlight, representatives from the Toy Bank will share more about their work, volunteer opportunities, and ways local businesses can support their mission—including organizing workplace toy drives and donation collections.
HRCC members are invited to join us in supporting the Toy Bank! We’ll be hosting a toy drive in conjunction with our November meeting, and attendees are encouraged to bring a new toy to donate. Together, our local business and HR community can help make the holiday season a little brighter for children throughout North San Luis Obispo County.
