July Breakfast Meeting Keynote:
Elizabeth Crook
CEO, Orchard Advisors
The Power of Knowing Yourself
Most people agree that knowing yourself is a good thing. Yet, even very smart and capable people, like all of us, sometimes fail to recognize the hidden and often limiting beliefs that govern our behavior.
Elizabeth Crook, CEO of Orchard Advisors, will help us learn to recognize some of those beliefs and how they play out in our lives and behavior. She’ll give us tools for expanding our range of responses beyond the default responses that often work for many situations. However, it’s key to realize that if we can only respond according to our default, we become like the broken watch – absolutely right twice a day and wrong the rest of the time!
This understanding of ourselves is a key part of Crook’s larger message she writes about on her weekly blog: Think Bigger, Act Smarter, Live Richer. For more information, visit biggersmarterricher.com.
