PRE-INSTITUTE EVENTS
THURSDAY, MARCH 15, 2007
1:00 P.M. - 5:00 P.M. LEXISNEXIS PRE-INSTITUTE WORKSHOP:
Get a Life: A No-Nonsense Approach to Creating a More Fulfilling Personal and Professional Life Sponsored by the LexisNexis Librarian Relations Group
Based on the popular bestseller, "Shut Up, Stop Whining and Get a Life," the 2007 LexisNexis-sponsored workshop is guaranteed to change your life! The author, Larry Winget, provides a common sense approach that will make you sit up and take notice. He believes that, "what you think about, what you talk about, and what you do something about is what comes about." To make you and your organization the kind that other people want to do business with, you need to find a healthy balance in your own life. Doing so will make you more attractive, make your organization more dynamic, and ultimately help you succeed. Using this philosophy, your LexisNexis Librarian Relations Consultants will help you examine your personal and professional life, outline ways in which you might improve the two of them, and most of all -- help you find a balance that will leave you with a renewed take on life.
Presenters: JENNY KANJI, MICHAEL SAINT-ONGE and JULIE WEBSTER-MATTHEWS of the LexisNexis Librarian Relations Group. RSVP by Monday, March 12, 2007 to michael.saint-onge@lexisnexis.com.
Cost: FREE but space is limited so RSVP to save a spot
