Want to know the inside scoop on how blind people get job after job even
in this  economy? Want to listen in as blind professionals and
blue-collar workers tell their stories of job success? And want to learn
how blind employees manage to keep up their self-confidence and
work-life balance?

 

The LightHouse for the Blind is beginning today an unprecedented
four-day summit  at its Enchanted Hills retreat in Napa, California.
This lively immersion gathering will bring together more than 60
participants to talk seriously about employment.

And not just how to shake someone's hand or format a resume, but the
deeper motivation and techniques everyone needs to win their next job.

 

Presenters will include Marty Nemko, Bay Area job coach, author and
radio host; Kirk Adams, CEO of the Seattle Lighthouse for the Blind;
Elcio Barcellos, Vice President for Global Recruitment at
Hewlett-Packhard; Michael Bullis, longtime writer and employment
motivator; Gena Harper, a top executive with Smith-Barney; Mike May,
entrepreneur and adventurer; Joe Xavier, Deputy Director, California
Department of Rehabilitation; Tim Ford, attorney with the California
Department of Health Services; George Wurtzel, lifelong blind advocate
for blue collar employment; and many others.

 

The live-stream is not limited to a few professions or career paths.

In fact, among

the dozens of attendees in Napa will be people in law; high tech and
programming; nursing; rehabilitation; counseling/therapy; ministry;
chemistry/physics; social  work; interpreting/translation; piano tuning;
administrative support; accounting/finance; customer service; human
resources; and advertising.

 

Our live-stream will begin on Tuesday, September 6th at 1:00 p.m.

Pacific Time and

continue until 6:00 p.m. that day.  We'll resume the live presentation
Wednesday  and Thursday at 8:45 a.m. and present our lively lineup until
roughly 5:00 p.m.

 each of those days. We'll wrap up with some powerful presentations
Friday morning, September 9th, from 9:00 a.m. until noon.

 

The stream is free of charge, and we hope you will cross-post this
information to any individual and organization who could use a powerful
boost to their own employment objectives. The LightHouse for the Blind
in San Francisco is proud to offer this  motivational and fun seminar to
our community free of charge.
