Berkeley Author To Lead Two Weekend Workshops On Navigating Change & Tapping Unique Talents

It has long been said that "the only constant in life is change," but individuals of all ages are now finding that this change has accelerated to a nearly unmanageable pace, and the Old Story of "Profit First" no longer leads to a path of fulfillment and much-needed contribution to others and to the planet. In response to this growing call, visionary author and business leader Whitney Vosburgh will be leading two fun, highly interactive weekend workshops in Berkeley, California in August 10-11th and 17-18th. These workshops will guide a select number of participants through the process of awakening to their unique gifts, identifying their "North Star" for a sense of purpose in work and in life, and creating a personalized action-focused pathway that will enable them to head into 2020 with enhanced vision and enthusiasm.

Each of these two "Change Yourself, Change the World" weekend workshops will take the principles and framework featured in Vosburgh's two books and provide an immersive experience designed to transform the lives of participants. These inspiring and insightful new books, co-authored with Dr. Charlie Grantham - "WORK THE FUTURE! TODAY: Finding your path to purpose, passion and profit" and the accompanying workbook, "WORK THE FUTURE! TODAY 2019 POCKET PAL: A faster path to purpose, passion and profit" - have received praise from a wide spectrum of leaders and readers who recognize that the Old Story no longer suffices in the pursuit of regenerative business growth that also provides purpose and meaning.

New York Times bestselling author Daniel Pink ("DRIVE") said, "Work The Future! Today is an ebullient paean to the power of story. What we need is a new story based on purpose, not on profit." He told potential readers that "this book guides you to create the new life-embracing story for yourself, your organization, and the world." This is exactly the experience that participants in these workshops will enjoy.

The "roadmap" that workshop participants will create - adapted to their unique gifts, talents and vision - will be built on three corners of an empowering "triad," each one posing several essential questions that give our lives meaning and direction:

• PURPOSE: Why? Your unique gifts - your destiny.

• PLACE: Who and Where? Your community and stakeholders, and where to find them - your destination.

• PRACTICE: How? Your practice of best serving them - your journey.

Workshop leader Whitney Vosburgh brings his own unique experience - in business and in life - to each of these workshops, making him ideally suited to support each attendee in this inquiry. At a time when a growing number of individuals desperately seek a sense of "balance" in their lives, Vosburgh's eclectic and multi-faceted background provides an empowering context for this inquiry. Vosburgh has not only served in senior leadership roles with Fortune 20 companies such as Hewlett-Packard Enterprise and McKesson, with many Silicon Valley start ups and other organizations globally, but he is also an artist and a theology school graduate. Assisting Vosburgh at each workshop is another wise and insightful leader, Marcus Druen, who also brings many years of experience helping business leaders navigate the challenging process of change and transformation, and has led workshops in over 20 countries.

Permeating each weekend workshop will be a sense of enthusiasm and optimism for the future. Although Vosburgh recognizes that many individuals equate "change" with "stress," he will guide participants through exercises designed to remind them that we actually find ourselves at a time of historic opportunity - and that in this fluid environment, each of us now has greater freedom than ever to contribute to our team, our loved ones, our community and our planet.

At the conclusion of this immersive weekend experience, everyone present will emerge with new insights, a "roadmap" to start taking action in work and in life, and a sense of certainty as they move forward on the path to purpose, passion and prosperity. A related residential workshop - "Be Your Own Leader" - will be offered by Vosburgh and Druen at 1440 Multiversity in Scotts Valley on November 15-17th.
