Our next dinner meeting will feature a sponsor seminar, followed by a panel of three successful professionals who will share personal stories about how they harnessed their authenticity—personal strengths and truths—to advance in their job or grow their business.

Sponsor Seminar: Work Without Boundaries

This discussion will help you improve your skills, tools and techniques for working virtually. The discussion will be led by Dave Jacobson, IMCNE’s new sponsorship chair. Dave recently joined Regus, the world’s largest provider of workplace solutions, offering the widest range of products and services that allow individuals and companies to work however, wherever, and whenever they need to.

Panel Discussion: Rethinking Work

Learn how three business people who harnessed authenticity – their own personal truths – advanced careers or grew their business. Cliff Hakim, founder of Rethinking Work, leads a discussion on how to address the challenge of increasing personal and professional success. His new book details the skills needed to develop the courage of an explorer, a detective’s tenacity and attention to detail, the entrepreneur’s drive and the imagination of a dreamer when pursuing your personal goals.

Panelists

Mark Campbell – An active management consultant, Mark partners with life sciences and healthcare organizations to develop and retain leaders. He also teaches communications courses to physician leaders at Harvard School of Public Health and is author of the book, Five Gifts of Insightful Leaders.

Bill Scudder – As senior director of IT at EMC Corp., Bill oversees all IT activities of the recently acquired RSA Security Division. He has a Mechanical Engineering degree from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and an MBA from Boston University .

Anne Orens – Founder and Chief Marketing Officer of Tizra, Inc., a start-up publishing company. Anne spent 25 years in publishing-related sales, marketing, and knowledge management, then discovered a whole new world of ambiguity and ever-changing directions, where she learned that every small victory is enormous.

After each panelist tells their story, the audience will participate in a “story telling” exercise, developed by Cliff. There is time for questions regarding your practice, that is designed to help identify what is most meaningful to you and bring you closer to achieving those goals using the pragmatic approach of Rethinking Work.

Cliff Hakim is founder and principal of the career consulting and strategy firm Rethinking Work®. Clients include The Conference Board, Boeing Corp. and Tufts University along with executives and entrepreneurs. He is author of the book We Are All Self-Employed, and pioneered the leading social contract used in business today.
