Coffee & Conversation in Portland
 
Organized by Life by Design NW

July 29, 2009 - 6:30pm - 8:30pm

PCC CPWTC (across the street from OMSI) 1626 SE Water Ave

Cost amount: $5

Monthly get-together for mid-career professionals and anyone in transition who is interested in meaningful (paid and unpaid) work to discuss a topical theme, brainstorm ideas, network with peers and share resources.  This month's theme: “What do I want to be when I grow up?”

If you find yourself occasionally still asking this ageless question even well into your career or retirement, here is where to find your answer. Dave Dutton, founder of Stuck in a Rut LLC ( www.stuckinarut.com ), explains why you already know the answer to this question… in fact you knew it as a ten year old. The answer has been hiding from you even though it’s as obvious as the nose on your face. Dave is known for his interactive and thought provoking seminars and will facilitate our July Coffee and Conversation.

For more information please contact a Life by Design NW staff member at 503-731-6650 or info@lifebydesignnw.org .
Registration is requested.
