  How I Wrote and Published My Debut Novel

  Howard Gershkowitz, Author

  TOPIC CATEGORY: Entertainment

  Sitting in the lobby of the historic Hassayampa Inn in Prescott, Arizona, I sipped my coffee and stared at the period pieces surrounding me. It was January 1, 2015 when my eyes landed on the switchboard, circa 1927, and I started day dreaming. What might it have looked like, some young person sitting at the station, routing calls between the guestrooms and the rest of the country? I pictured the roaring 20’s, the coming market crash, the world plunged into the Great Depression, ultimately bringing about World War II and it’s horrifying consequences. What if I could go back and warn them? Stop it somehow? MORE >

  Thus, began this journey back to 1929, where I sent our hero, Harold, to meet Talia Sanders, the operator. Over the course of the next couple of years—in real time—he navigated the interceding nine decades, traveling back and forth, trying to change the past, and, when he fails, to prevent the same thing from happening in the present.

  As the story unfolded in my mind, I had one major problem; most time travel stories break down because of unresolved paradoxes. If you visit the past, don’t you automatically change it by your presence? What if you only go back a few months or years? You run the risk of meeting your younger self, which is a real no-no in terms of theoretical physics. How, then, could I get around it?

  The main concern, as far as I could see, was this little thing called the Law of Conservation of Matter and Energy, If you take a human being and transport him into the past, you simultaneously remove his bulk from the present and insert into another epoch. The Universe should implode immediately upon such a distortion. The answer? Well, if modern theory is right, we can hitch a ride through a wormhole, traveling unimaginable distances across the galaxy without disrupting the flow of time. So why not a slimmed down version to permit local excursions? Why not a ‘squirmhole?”

  Join Harold as he wanders through time in order to prevent the past from repeating itself.

  Healing from Trauma

  Dr. Benjamin Benulis, Doctor of Chiropractic, Create Health PLLC

  TOPIC CATEGORY: Health & Fitness

  When we experience a very shocking or stressful event in our lives that is too much for our nervous system to handle at the time, the mind and body often store this away to be dealt with in the future. This is commonly known as trauma. For many people, it lingers long after the initiating event. Often times, experiences in life force us to re-experience this trauma from time to time. Treatment of this phenomenon is an emerging field. Traditional talk therapy can often address trauma at the level of the brain and the thinking mind. But for many people with trauma stored in their physical body, talking about it can sometimes make it worse. So how do we address trauma stored in the body? In this 30-45 minute presentation Dr. Ben shares his knowledge on this topic, along with real-world practical tips and tools that audience members can begin implementing immediately to see a shift.

  Grace in Gravity: Cultivating Trust in Uncertain Times

  Cyd West, Executive Director, World Academy for the Future of Women

  TOPIC CATEGORY: Business

  Cyd West, a specialist in business and linguistics, presents ways to enhance our communication skills that are pertinent to every leader whose workforce feels affected by recent events and headlines.

  Today’s headlines: MORE >

  • Layoffs have decimated Cotech. Many of the remaining workers are immobilized by fear of losing their jobs through more layoffs or even company closure. John Powers, the CEO, thinks the situation can be turned around but he cannot make it with the current levels of productivity.

  • Employees of Medico have accepted a 1% cost of living increase in lieu of performance increases (usually between 4-6%) in order to protect their jobs during a downturn in the market. They soon find out the CEO of Medico was awarded a $6 million dollar bonus from the Board of Directors.

  These events occur every day and are highly publicized. They affect the culture in companies across the world. Uncertainty is airborne and contagious in the workplace. The costs of high turnover and productivity loss from poor morale are mounting.

  Cyd covers:

  • the “controllable” causes of uncertainty.
  • what employees want from their leaders during difficult times.
  • how a leader’s communication and behavior affect employee’s anxiety levels.
  • methods to solicit feedback and evaluate how our communication is perceived.

  Awareness of how our words and actions are interpreted during stressful times allows us to manage perceptions of our own reputation as well as the commitment of an organization to it’s workers, customers and partners. Opportunities abound to enhance these relationships through a realistic self-assessment and strategic communication.

  Recent research has unveiled a wealth of information for leaders who seek to motivate and inspire. Furthermore, there is a direct correlation to the bottom line. The common denominator in these findings is authentic and honest communication from successful leaders – as well as adopting the behaviors to support their messages.
