The journey from “We” to “Me” is one that many of us will face, whether through loss or life’s unexpected changes. Losing a lifelong partner who shared responsibilities such as finances, home maintenance, cooking, or arranging social activities can leave a giant void in one’s life. The shift can feel overwhelming, especially when so many aspects of daily living change all at once. In this seminar, we will explore steps “We” can take now to prepare, as well as what resources and support are available to those who have expectantly or unexpectedly become a “Me”.

"If I Could Tell The World" is simply everyone's chance to truly hold forth on a topic of their choice for a few minutes, then accept questions from others in the class about their topic and statements.
The reason I think this would be a great class is that, as you all point out, EVERYONE has life experience, a story to tell, and closely-held passions. We all want to hold forth on some topic we hold dear, but seldom have the opportunity of an audience to listen, question, and discuss.

People from many backgrounds and life experiences can develop stress and burnout. However, those of us who like to help others are especially vulnerable. We focus. We listen. We care - sometimes too deeply. Our desire to help takes a lot of mental energy and can be very exhausting. That’s why self-care is so important for helpers. This presentation will help increase self-awareness of early warning signs of burnout. It will provide practical self-care strategies and methods for reducing the risk of burnout. And, best of all, you may walk away with a new idea or two that can help you “put your mask on first.”

Former magazine editor Rix Quinn says a popular feature of many publications is the "looking back" section.
Readers are attracted to others' personal histories, because it helps them avoid future mistakes. And, sharing stories of the past can help strengthen connections with family and friends.
During this workshop, we'll discuss the value of life lessons learned from elders; how discussing past joys can develop appreciation for the present; how reminiscing helps people link the past and the present; how to tell stories about the past that teach lessons for the future; and much more.

This is a story of miniaturization. We'll take a look at a huge number of company's whose success was built on one product. Then we'll discuss why some of them made a line extension mistake...adding a product that was not synergistic with their major one.
And, have you noticed that many famous people are remembered for only one thing? When I say the names Alexander Graham Bell or Thomas Edison or Neil Armstrong, what events come to mind?
I am a former business magazine editor. Several years ago, we steadily built our magazines by shrinking our magazine size pictures, and shortening our business reports and stories. Each of our stories focused on one subject only, and this proved to be a successful formula.
One idea, one product, one powerful idea. Let's look at the history of shrinking and miniaturization, and how you can benefit from it.
Think about the great hugely popular magazines of the 20th century: National Geographic, Reader's Digest, TV Guide. All offered smaller sized formats.

Western psychotherapy, like western medicine, is focused on symptom reduction and symptom management, rather than focusing on the root causes. This class will introduce students to an alternative understanding of their mind, based on ancient Tibetan teachings and practices. By accessing the untapped potential to use awareness to relieve anxiety and depression at the source, students will acquire the ability to find peace and a deep inner calm, regardless of their external environment. Students will need an open mind, and a readiness to take responsibility for facing their emotional and psychological suffering, as well as a willingness to be temporarily confused and uncomfortable as they 'empty their cup' of their current belief system and become familiar with a different 'map' to negotiate life's challenges.
