Join Us for the next Wisdom Group session, Thursday, July 23rd from 1 to 3 p.m. in room 510 of the Institute for Healthy Aging, School of Engineering, University of Denver.
The session is entitled “Purposeful Living--Aging and Transitions”. According to our speaker, Gregg Vanourek, “Every transition is an invitation to begin again. Whether you’re retiring, changing careers, becoming an empty nester, or simply wondering what’s next, this is your opportunity to live with greater purpose and intention. Instead of drifting into your next chapter, design it. Discover how to create a life of meaning, fulfillment, and lasting contribution while avoiding the traps that can get in the way.”

Based on Gregg’s acclaimed work on life design, this inspiring session will help you move forward with clarity and confidence.
Gregg is co-author of three influential books, including LIFE Entrepreneurs (a manifesto for living with purpose and passion, written with Christopher Gergen) and Triple Crown Leadership (a winner of the International Book Awards, written with his father, Bob Vanourek).

He runs a personal development and leadership company and teaches at the Stockholm Business School. He’s also a former senior executive at a tech startup, now a market leader with $2 billion in sales. He is on the board of the Swedish-American Chamber of Commerce in Colorado. He served on the board of SE Forum and the Vail Alliance.
Gregg has given a TEDx talk and talks or workshops in eight countries, and he created the online course, “Crafting Your Life and Work.” He is married and has two daughters, two dogs, and two cats, and has lived in the U.S., Sweden, and England.
I am pleased to announce Gregg will be one of our Purposeful-Aging Thought Leaders as noted on my website: Purposeful-Aging.org
