Listen and Learn How Blind People Really Get Jobs
LightHouse to Offer 22 Live-Stream Hours of Intensive Employment Retreat
Starting Today!
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.
