A Passion for Excellence in a World of Speed
We live in a more-faster-now world. Technology, 24-7 connectivity and consumer demands tell us the continued acceleration of business and life is inevitable.
Our work with older adults does not have to be at odds with the speed of the world. We are in this field because of a calling to serve others - a passion for the work we do and the people we serve. Instead of being stressed out by the speed of life, we can learn to carry out our passions if we embrace, rather than fight speed.
Vince Poscente knows a lot about focus, commitment and defying the odds. At age 26, he decided to take up speed skiing and pursue it competitively. Only four years later, he was vying for Gold in the Winter Olympics. Combining lessons from his remarkable Olympic experience with business and leadership insights, Vince shares proven strategies for attaining and sustaining peak performance on both a personal and professional level.
Vince illustrates how harnessing the power of speed is the ultimate solution for achieving less stress, less busyness and more balance in your work and life - including spending more time with the people you serve. Get hands-on tools you can use immediately and learn how to apply his time-tested techniques to ignite your vision and passion.
Vince Poscente kicks off your Institute with an invigorating experience of edge-of-your-seat stories, 135 mph ski videos and take-action-today inspiration. Don't miss it!
Vince Poscente, CSP, CPAE, is a best selling author of three books including The Age of Speed - Learning to Thrive in our More-Faster-Now World, CEO of a business consulting firm and managing partner in a media/communications agency, inductee into the Speaker Hall of Fame and Olympian.

Interfaith Celebration Sponsored by Eide Bailly LLP
This morning's keynote presentation is combined with the wildly popular Interfaith Celebration for an experience you simply won't forget! Join your extended Aging Services family across the street at the Westminster Presbyterian Church to celebrate the work you do and renew your spirit. Regardless of your faith background you'll start the new year with a powerful reminder of your mission in serving the elderly.
The Wisdom and Power of People
To Know the Road Ahead, Ask the People Coming Back. A life's journey weaves the tapestry of experience, wisdom and insight. How valuable would it be to gain these riches along the road of your own journey? We are surrounded by all sorts of wisdom. Just look at the lifetimes of your residents who were teachers, war veterans, inventors, parents and public personalities. Notice the other people in your life, from your friends and relatives to coworkers and casual acquaintances. Learn how to draw out those valuable pearls of wisdom and experience from the people around you to enrich your own life.
As a young man Eric Saperston set out on a cross-country journey cold-calling the nation's most extraordinary, accomplished people with the simple goal of having an inspired conversation over a cup of coffee. The result is a collection of interviews filled with amazing wisdom, humor and inspiration. Attend this morning's general session to hear the stories and learn the lessons from successful individuals about educated risk taking, problem solving, managing rapid change, ethical leadership and surviving turbulent times.
From Eric's journey, you will gain valuable insights on living your life's purpose, thriving in the face of adversity and creating inspiration in your daily work.
Some of the amazing people Eric interviewed include Horst Schulze, president of Ritz Carlton; Billy Crystal, actor, director; Gert Koppel, Holocaust survivor; and Ann Richards, former Governor of Texas.
Eric Saperston is founder and chief creative officer of Live In Wonder Entertainment Inc., producing communication, film, literature, spoken word, music and performance art. Its mission calls all of us to our deepest authenticity, our truest identity and our highest good.
