Rick Jarow to Present at Conference

Rick Jarow, the author of the highly acclaimed Creating the Work You Love, will also be a presenter at the Power of Words conference. More than ever before people are looking for non-traditional careers and work environments. From job sharing and telecommuting to fruit bouquets and blogging we're seeing the traditional 9 to 5 jobs becoming marginalized. The time is right to "find your bliss." Jarow will help bring you one step closer!

I have to say that this lineup is pretty impressive for the money. It's not too late to sign up. It's a great location (gorgeous Vermont in the fall), great people and a great educational opportunity.
