 November 19, 2008: Something to Live For: Finding Your Way in the Second Half of Life with Richard Leider, coach, author and founding partner, Inventure Group Drawing on ancient and contemporary wisdom, as well as modern research, Richard Leider and David Shapiro provide insightful ways of thinking and being that help us find meaning and purpose in the second half of life. This deeply reflective book uses a safari, (referencing a trip the authors took to Africa in 2006) as a metaphor to show how the second half of life can be a journey of discovery. In what may be their most personal book to date, Richard and David share dozens of moving stories, from both their own experiences and those of their safari companions, that offer sometimes surprising examples of lives well-lived, lives that exemplify the qualities of authenticity and wholeheartedness that they believe are essential to finding meaning and purpose in the second half of life. There are many pathways to putting our whole selves into life, especially during the second half, and in "Something to Live For," Richard and David explore many routes to vital aging.

 December 9, 2008: Making Your Contribution in Powerful Timeswith Eamonn Kelly, CEO, Global Business Network, a member of the Monitor Group, Author, Powerful Times: Rising to the Challenge of Our Uncertain World The unknown, unexpected, and unimagined have long been central to the human drama, and yet the level of uncertainty today is radically higher than ever before. Over the past five centuries, the industrialized world has developed certain bedrock assumptions—assumptions that are now crumbling around us through massive technological, political, and social changes. Eamonn will explore how the practice of scenario thinking offers a way to prepare for what’s coming—and transform this moment of uncertainty into unprecedented opportunity. By integrating traditional strategy approaches with those that rely on intuition, collective insight, emotional and spiritual intelligence, morality, and wisdom, we can move toward a new future, not in fear, but with conviction and sustained attention.
