“Work to live. Don’t live to work.”
The Secret of Work-Life Balance – Leveraging Your 9 Environments!
presented by the Irish Network
October 14th at Pillsbury Winthrop, 2475 Hanover Street | Palo Alto
(By kind permission)
Reception and Networking at 6.15 PM

Presentation by IN-BA member Norene Sheehan will start at 7.00 PM Sharp
“The challenge of work-life balance is without question one of the most significant struggles faced by modern man. I’ve surveyed thousands of audiences about their greatest personal and professional challenges. Life balance is always at or near the top.” – Steven Covey
Our times are desperate for meaning. Our culture is all gloss and fast-paced on the outside, seemingly successful and desirable yet lacking balance and fulfillment. The way we’re working and living our lives is not working!
The objective of this session is to begin the journey toward understanding and achieving Work – Life balance through identifying what is most important in your life. We will explore current research on the impact of this imbalance on our world. We will introduce the concept of the 9 Environments and their importance to ultimate success and fulfillment; both professionally as well as personally!
How do YOU play the Game of Life?
IN BA member Norene Sheehan, who is a Certified Executive/Lifestyle Coach with over 25 years experience including Senior Management positions in Sales & Marketing for major corporations in Ireland and the U.S, will host a challenging evening for all of us interested in Work – Life balance. Work – Life balance is, after all, her passion!
 The San Francisco Irish Film Festival 2010
- This year’s theme: Irish Romance, and that’s the overanalyzed, undercommunicated, post-apocalyptic, Bollywood-dancing, rockabilly love-dueling, what-70-women-secretly-think-about-their-men kind of romance. Watch the event video trailer
- Opening Party: Thursday, Sept. 23th 2010 At Picaro Tapas Cafe 16th Street (opposite the Roxie).
- Opening: Thursday, Sept. 23th 2010
- Closing: Saturday, Sept. 25th, 2010
- Tickets: ($10) available at The Roxie box office and through ticketweb.com
The seventh annual San Francisco Irish Film Festival returns to the Roxie Theater in San Francisco’s Mission District on September 23 to 25 with its best line-up yet and a theme of romance. With “the most fumbling, indirect, over-intellectualized proposal ever secretly caught on camera” in the documentary The Bass Player, or what 70 Irish women think about their men in the multi-award-winning film His and Hers, we’re talking romance Irish-style. Forget that saccharine Hollywood nonsense.
As a special treat, four filmmakers will be present at question-and-answer sessions after the films. They are available for interviews before the event as well as in San Francisco from September 23 to 25.
In celebration of low-budget Irish independent filmmaking, the Festival will also be honoring one of the directors with a special New Director’s Award. See the Festival website schedule page for the dates and times of screenings, descriptions of movies, and links to movie trailers. Press copies of movies are available on request.
The Festival kicks off on Thursday, September 23 with A Film With Me In It. This black comedy, directed by Ian Fitzgibbon, won the Best Film award at the Istanbul Film Festival. The story follows two would-be filmmakers trying to cope with a mounting body count resulting from freak accidents they didn’t cause but, if discovered, will make them look like murderers. The film features standout comic performances by Mark Doherty, who wrote the script, and Dylan Moran. (more…)

“For all the risk involved, this is a great time to be involved in learning.”
Donald H Taylor
The 2010 Irish Learning Showcase (ILS), Dublin, Ireland, July 22-24 was kicked-off with an enthusiastic opening address by Donald H. Taylor; chairman, Institute of IT Training and Learning Technologies Conference. Taylor’s comments provided an ideal opening platform for the presentations, sessions and interaction that followed over the next three days of the ILS. (Mr. Taylor’s full remarks are available here)
An over-arching theme of the 2010 ILS was “informal learning and social learning“.
Taylor’s talk illustrated the dynamic changes – economic, technological, cultural, leadership- that shaped the Learning and Development (L&D) field over the last three decades. Today there is greater recognition by organizations and executives of the importance of education, training and skills development. Yet, the industry sits at a cross roads with significant opportunities to deliver new products, solutions, services, software and results that meet today’s dynamic and diverse learning and development needs and demands.
