    Schedule-at-a-Glance under Construction – Revised 6.30.17

    The Role of Your Life…Making Every Stressful Day a Blessing
    Keynote Speaker: Dr. Steve Taubman
    This is not a drill! This is your life. And this is the role you’ve chosen. You can play it as an extra… or be the star… and move those around you with your passionate performance. Develop a positive state of mind in the midst of chaos, and project loving energy to everyone around you. Like a great movie star, you can be in charge of your emotions, control the scene and move others to tears of joy!
