Could your career be decided over a golf match between two CEOs?
   Stranger things have happened. Seemingly out of nowhere the marketing

   coming.

   Don’t be the bug getting smushed on the windshield. This fast-paced
   seminar will show you how to align yourself with your organization, get
   noticed and earn a C-suite seat.

   In the first
part of the program you will learn how to determine the right
   priorities to work on, how to craft marketing plans around these priorities
   and how to audit your function to make sure you can execute the plans. The
   second half will focus on individual career enhancement and you will learn
   how to broaden your perspective and knowledge and learn why it is OK,
   even critical, to promote the accomplishments of yourself and your
   department.

Who Moved My Dentures? started out as story vignettes about people that I met during my entertaining and evolved into a book that debunks common misperceptions about the long-term care industry, using real people's stories to illustrate the points made. Along the way, I discuss how the industry is financed and policed, educate people about the differences in long-term care and offer useful tips and advice for people facing long-term care choices. But, at its heart, it is a story about people who are thriving and living life when others have written them off. Professionals in the field, those who care for older adults and the up and coming baby boomer generation who face choices for themselves will find this book enjoyable and useful. $14.95.
