They are then fed everyda y. Everyday is very predictable and safe. Life is really good until… the fourth Thursday of November when suddenly life as a Turkey does not look so good. Does this sound like your career?Are you prepared when your curre nt project ends?“ Targeted Job Search” is a system which will give you a step by step process to avoid looking like a turkey when your project c omes to an end.\n\nBiography: Marc Miller’s career journey includes 22 y ears at IBM\, several thriving tech startups\, a painful stint as a high s chool teacher\, a gig raising funds for the Jewish Community Association o f Austin and a near fatal bicycle accident that changed his perspective fo rever.The most crucial lesson learned while wandering the career desert: M ost people don’t really know what makes them happy at their core. Pursui ng money\, status\, and skills provides some level of satisfaction\, but n ot contentment. Others have figured out what they need\, but don’t know how to chart a course to get there.As an active member of the Launch Pad J ob Club\, Marc found himself counseling friends and associates on their ca reer journeys and realized he’d found his vocation. He now uses his exte nsive training experience to help others—especially Baby Boomers—find careers that they can grow into for the decades that lie ahead.Marc is pas sionate about his work and the clients he serves. He’s taught in more th an 35 countries and helped clients from many industries.\n\nEmail: marc@ca reerpivot.com\n\nDavid Smith\, CEO of Strategic Pathways\n\nFramework for Working in the Future\n\nThis talk will present a framework which has been used successfully for predicting the future and as a basis for future str ategy.

He also has led the development of an Electronic Heal th Platform with social networking features which connect doctors\, patien ts\, care teams\, pharmas\, ancillary healthcare providers\, and even exte nded care teams such as fitness and diet care teams.
