SAYBROOK UNIVERSITY AND SOCIAL VENTURE NETWORK PRESENT

Creativity, Leadership and Wisdom:
Surviving and Thriving During Difficult Times

The Fall 2009 Saybrook Dialogue

In difficult times we are faced with choices of how to respond. We can tighten, work from fear, rely on what we think we know, or we can open, act from a wider set of beliefs and assumptions, and let go of what we were once certain.

Saybrook Dialogues is a new series of dialogues for networking, exploration, learning, and making meaning of our personal and professional lives during uncertain and challenging times.

This evening’s Dialogue will include a short presentation, group problem solving, time for networking, and a light buffet and appetizers.

This Dialogue is sponsored by Social Venture Network and Saybrook University.
