JUNE MEETING INFORMATION

PROGRAM:
“Salary to Service: Finding Joy and Fulfillment in Your Work"

In the past, people simply worked to "earn a living," but that is no longer enough for many of us. In a 2007 poll only one-third responded with any sense of satisfaction in their jobs. Whether we work for a corporation or operate our own business, we all seek fulfillment in our work. Yet, the feelings of joy and fulfillment can be fleeting, if found at all. Many of us desire to make our work an expression of who we are and the gifts we have to contribution. Dianne will share insights from her own inner journey to help you unleash more joy in your work life. She personally wrestled with finding fulfillment during her 35 years in various corporate jobs before launching her own business in 2004.

Meetings are held on the first Thursday of each month. Come early for networking – anytime after 6 PM. The agenda will begin at 6:30 PM, dinner will be served at 6:45. The main program begins promptly at 7:00 PM
