Sewing Your Quilt: Using Life to Get the Most Out of the Game

Having big, bold, ambitious goals is a great thing. Whether it's about impacting your community, being energized all year long, or simply feeling good today, we can't rely on the end goal to carry us through. We need to develop consistently great habits that we work on every day that put our team and ourselves in the best position to win. This talk will give you the tools to eliminate unnecessary pressure from your life, keep you in the driver's seat, and help you perform at a consistently great level. 

Three Key Takeaways from the Presentation: 
1. Identify how to create a personal process that will result in your optimal performance.
2. Learn why allowing yourself to fail is the right thing to do.
3. Discover how to lead a well-rounded life that keeps you energized and excited for what you want most.

Ben Fagan is a former college baseball player who shares his experiences from the game with businesses and professional organizations to help them redefine success for optimal performance. Through his talks and his book, Flipping The Switch: How to Redefine Success to Find True Fulfillment, Ben helps the groups he works with develop a customized game plan so they can achieve their ultimate success.

Carol O'Neil with CEO Financial Services is a financial analyst who spent more than 25 years in financial services and banking with national and international industry leaders, including JP Morgan Chase, Deutsche Bank, and Chase Manhattan Bank. Understanding the complexities of the financial industry, she uses her experiences to educate and assist individuals in navigating a plan for financial success. 

Craig Richman is with Richman Capital Management.
