Date & Time: Thursday October 11, 2012 – 7:30 PM
Location: Montgomery Community College (Rockville Campus) – Humanity Building (HU), Conference Room 009 (Get Directions, Campus Map )
Speaker: Mitra M. Lore
Synopsis:
This talk focuses on designing one’s future for maximum fulfillment. More than half of the college-educated workforce of all ages report that they are unsatisfied by their careers. The majority of recent graduates are uncertain of their future direction. Half of marriages fail, and many of those that remain are less than happy. It often seems that our choices are a very limited set of options over which we have little say.
Based on her first-hand experience with hundreds of career-changers, young people choosing a career for the first time, and people both seeking and finding a more fulfilling personal life, Mitra Lore will present a view that it is possible to realize both achievement-oriented goals while, at the same time, living a life that fosters inner wellbeing.
