  2. Purpose and Process Purpose: Learn from stories of professional and personal change and growth; identify and unleash opportunities in our lives • Process: • Listen to a story of change and growth and reflect upon how the lessons apply in your own life • Explore and unleash your own potential • Think about what you want to do next, based upon what you learn today

  3. The Seeds of Change • The Catalyst: Partner Leaves; Brian Evaluates His Portfolio • The Process: Creative Thinking Leads to Sabbatical • The Action: Enabling Change and Letting Go • The Experience: A Bounty of Personal and Professional Growth

  4. Lessons Learned in a Faraway Land • We all need to be foreigners at least once. • You can build community/network anywhere. • Take the big risk. • We can do anything we set our minds to (why put a lid on your container?). • Replace the ladder with a path.

  5. Discussion Questions: Applying Lessons to Your Own Life • Do you want more or less of what you have now, personally and professionally? If no, who and/or what can you become instead? What’s missing? • How can you step outside of what you know? What benefits might it bring, and what might you learn? • Is there a big risk you have thought about taking? Or perhaps just an incremental change you want to make in your life? What’s holding you back? • What can you set your mind to? What previously unexplored possibilities exist for you?

  6. Discussion and Q & A

  7. Let’s Get Practical: Exploring and Unleashing Your Potential You can do more than just look for a new job in this period of economic uncertainty.

  10. Tying It All Together • What’s Next for Brian • Questions, Answers, and Final Reflection
