TABLE TOPICS LUNCHEON FALL SERIES
|
Fall Series
It's All About You!
When was the last time you focused on yourself? As a professional, it's easy to neglect your needs and devote your energy and resources to advancing your career. But, your health and the health of your business go hand in hand.
At WBCS, we're taking a holistic approach this fall with the Table Topics theme "It's All About You!" On November 11, discover ways to navigate through a major life shift and re-engineer your tomorrow.
Re-engineering Your Tomorrow
(To Thine Own Future Be True)
Presented by
Marilyn Stewart
Alcatel-Lucent
Life is wrought with unexpected twists and turns that test resilience. What do you do when you face uncertainty or reach an impasse? According to leading psychologists, these turning points lead to one of two outcomes: progression or regression.
In this presentation, Marilyn Stewart will reveal what launched her on her own journey to take an active role in re-engineering her life path. She will share tips for navigating through a major life shift, discuss how to constantly evolve while being true to the self and foster a candid dialogue by posing the questions:
- Who am I today?
- Where do I see myself in the future?
- Am I setting myself up for success?
- Am I waiting for change or am I a catalyst for it?
Be prepared to be challenged. If you are not re-engineering how you want your tomorrow to look, you are not being the best person you can be.
