Off Balance On Purpose: Work-Life Integration That\u2019s Possible, Not Perfect <\/strong>| <\/strong>Thursday, April 4, 2019 (8:45\u20139:45 a.m.)<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Keynote Speaker:<\/strong> Dan Thurmon, Author of Off Balance On Purpose <\/em><\/p>\n

Achieving the perfect work-life balance is a desirable concept, but it\u2019s also completely unrealistic, according to Keynoter Dan Thurmon. In his high-impact presentation, Dan will literally demonstrate what real balance looks like and provide a new model for viewing work objectives where instead of being separate or competing with life, they are a vital and connected component. Hear practical, reality-based solutions to help leaders and employees support one another and foster excellence, innovation, and loyalty.<\/p>\n
