Greetings Colleagues, I trust you're well. Today I'm celebrating Ntozke Shange, who graduated from Barnard College in 1970, and later earned an MA from the University of Southern California. Her Zulu name "Ntozke" means "she who comes with her own things" and "Shange" means "who walks like a lion." Her best known work, "For Colored Girls who have Considered Suicide, when the Rainbow is Enuf," was produced on Broadway and won an Obie Award in 1977. FREE LIVE ON-LINE WEBINAR Title: Focused Planning and Execution Date: Tuesday, October 22, 2:00 - 3:00 ET Presenter: Reginald White, President, Toran and Enterprises It's been said that "if you fail to plan, you plan to fail." Planning focuses the mind and resources towards a particular goal. However, we have all seen great plans that never see the light of day. Execution is the bridge from the plan to the goal. In our current environment we are faced with many distractions. These distractions can keep us from taking the time to focus, plan and execute. The future demands that we rediscover the art of executing a well-developed plan for our organizations and our careers. This live on-line course reframes the discussion about the importance of planning. You will leave inspired, reinvigorated and ready to plan and live an outstanding future. Reginald White, President of Toran Enterprises, LLC, a management consulting and training company, is presenting this course. Reginald has an inherent belief in the power of individuals and organizations to actively create extraordinary results. He works with his clients to identify and remove obstacles to achieving their personal and organizational goals.
