Adam will give you insights on how you can implement a 360 degree decision framework for ideas, challenges and opportunities.
In the early days of the internet entrepreneurs and consultants adopted the phrase, Ready, Fire, Aim!
The idea was to set aside caution and go for it. The internet was a new phenomena with no rules, no dogma set in stone, and it was fundamentally changing the way organizations did business.

Even though LinkedIn, Facebook, and other online tools have offered employers a chance to learn more about you, your resume is still the fundamental job search tool.
The entire job search process is built around resumes. After you respond to a job opportunity by uploading your resume Applicant Tracking Systems will scan your resume for key words to see if your resume should go on the short list.
Pat will share with you relevant and timely resume strategies that will not only get your resume notice on ATS systems but grab the attention of hiring managers who traditionally only spend 6 seconds scanning your resume.
Sure life is tough. Some of us have it tougher than others.
Simon will share with you a story that will remind you how MUCH you have going for you, despite the difficulties you are facing. You will gain insights on how to leverage pain, turmoil, crisis, and issues and come out stronger on the other side.
Simon will remind you that you have what it takes to make it through difficult times and at the same time be there for others.
If you are nearing or already in your retirement years, you need to participate in this meeting.
Marilyn will share first hand stories on how she has had to learn how to stop out of her comfort zone in order to experience the full job and opportunities of her retirement years.
You will learn the importance of "just showing up" and how that simple act will introduce you to events, people, and issues that will enrich your life.
Imagine having to move out of a home you've lived in for 20, 30, or 40 years. You will have undoubtably accumulated a huge amount of "stuff". Books, CD's records, photographs, nick nacks, junk in the basement, attic, and garage. It's bound to be a LOT of stuff.
Marni provides a humorous look at how you can approach this point in your life and offers suggestions that you start cutting into this collection immediately. Your goal should be to begin to thin down your "stuff" at least 3-5 years before you retire so you are not burdened with the emotional and physical responsibilities as you age.
