This document describes an interactive simulation of balancing a corporate career with family responsibilities. The simulation aims to teach players about the complex trade-offs involved without clear solutions. Key elements include factors like a boss's mood, spouse's mood, and child's mood that are impacted by choices about work duties versus family time. The simulation interprets real-world corporate lifestyles as daily struggles to succeed at demanding jobs while also being caring parents and spouses. Walkthroughs demonstrate potential pathways to both failure and success in the simulation.

Face to Face(book): Offline Networking in an Online WorldMaura Neill
Technology and social media are all the rage and are certainly buzz-worthy, but face-to-face is the tried-and-true path to customers for life and a strong referral business. This session teaches proven strategies for staying top-of-mind in this ever-digitized world. You may be tech-savvy and use technology widely in your businesses, but you must also recognize the value of good, old-fashioned in-person contact. We’ll discuss strategies for how to integrate social media into your business plans and how to combine the power of online strategy and personal contact to build a strong client and referral base. Objectives include:
- Combine online and offline strategies into one cohesive marketing plan
- Take a look at “the usual” customer/client appreciation events vs. “the new” ideas of tweet-ups, meet & greets, etc.
- Find your niche – using a hobby or interest that is traditionally an in-person activity into a lead-generating business model
- Breathe new life into your Facebook page – using events and invitations to encourage face-to-face encounters
- Make the ask – going beyond asking for business/referrals
Kenny Cannon is a thought leader in the areas of marketing, sales, business expansion, copywriting, and information marketing. Kenny started his sales career at the age of 15 by answering an ad in a local paper for a telemarketing position. He ended up becoming the top salesperson for the company in 3 weeks time. By the time he was 16 years old, Kenny knew that all he wanted to do was sell so he dropped out of high school to pursue his dreams. He started working as a cold caller for a local stock brokerage and became one of the top lead generators at the firm in under a month.
Kenny cold called for the next 2 years straight because he was too young to take his Series 7 and 63 exams which are required to sell stock. He passed both exams shortly after his 18th birthday and spent the next few years becoming one of the most skilled closers in the stock business. After the recession of the early 2000’s, Kenny and the team he worked with in the stock business decided to move into the mortgage business. He struggled at first but eventually became the top producing salesperson at his firm.
In 2005 Kenny decided to break away from the telephone because he wanted to learn how to sell in person. He walked in cold to a local car dealership, asked for a job, and got it on the spot. His training consisted of his sales manager telling him “The cars are on the lot and the customers come through that door.” He was also told that he had 3 days to sell a car and if he didn’t he’d be fired. Kenny managed to sell 4 in his first day breaking the record of 3 which stood for 10 years prior.
In 2007 Kenny decided to scratch the entrepreneurial itch and left the car business to start publishing and selling information online. Today Kenny is one of the most sought after sales and marketing consultants in the world. Most of his time is spent running training programs for KL Publishing and is also the host of the Ask Kenny Podcast where he talks about Sales, Business, Finance, Marketing, Politics and Life in general.

https://bit.ly/BabeSideDoll4u Babeside is a company that specializes in creating handcrafted reborn dolls. These dolls are designed to be incredibly lifelike, with realistic skin tones and hair, and they have become increasingly popular among collectors and those who use them for therapeutic purposes. At Babeside, we believe that our reborn dolls can provide comfort and healing to anyone who needs it.
The Healing Power of Babeside's Handcrafted Creations
Our reborn dolls are more than just beautiful pieces of art - they can also help alleviate stress, anxiety, depression, and other mental health conditions. Studies have shown that holding or cuddling a soft object like a stuffed animal or a reborn doll can release oxytocin, which is often referred to as the "love hormone." This hormone helps us feel calm and relaxed, reducing feelings of stress and anxiety.
In addition to their physical benefits, reborn dolls can also offer emotional support. For many people, having something to care for and nurture can bring a sense of purpose and fulfillment. Reborn dolls can also serve as a reminder of happy memories or loved ones who have passed away.
Welcome to the Program Your Destiny course. In this course, we will be learning the technology of personal transformation, neuroassociative conditioning (NAC) as pioneered by Tony Robbins. NAC is used to deprogram negative neuroassociations that are causing approach avoidance and instead reprogram yourself with positive neuroassociations that lead to being approach automatic. In doing so, you change your destiny, moving towards unlocking the hypersocial self within, the true self free from fear and operating from a place of personal power and love.
