Speaker: Join business leaders, alumni, and friends of Pepperdine University Graziadio School of Business and Management as Dr. Larry Cox, lead faculty for the Graziadio School's entrepreneurship programs, shares his knowledge on innovative business solutions., While innovation is widely believed to be the key to success in today’s economic environment, few companies have trained their leaders and employees in the principles, skills, tools, and processes needed to actually obtain innovative results. As a consequence, individual employees lack the ability to creatively and systematically solve the complex problems they face every day. In addition, work teams are unable to develop the next generation of innovative products through working creatively together. As a result, organizations are unable to stay ahead of the competition and are threatened by new entrants. In this workshop, participants will learn the first four steps for generating innovative business solutions for substantial market opportunities.
Cost: $20 per person.

Living Well: Faith, Education and Human Flourishing Seminar

Drescher Graduate Campus, Malibu
Monday, July 13, 2015, 9am – 2pm



We are living through a crisis of attention . . . As our mental lives become more fragmented, what is at stake often seems to be nothing less than the question of whether one can maintain a coherent self. I mean a self that is able to act according to settled purposes and ongoing projects, rather than flitting about. Because attention is so fundamental to our mental lives, this widely felt problem presents a rare occasion when an entire society is compelled to ask anew a very old question: What does it mean to be human?”                                 —Matthew B. Crawford, The World Beyond Your Head (Bestselling author of Shop Class as Soulcraft)
Our seminar will be built around three questions:
-What does it mean to flourish as persons made in the image of God?
-What keeps us from flourishing? What keeps our students from flourishing?
-What can we do as educators and mentors to help our students prepare to live well?
Each participant will receive a $500 stipend and copies of all readings, as well as continental breakfast and lunch for each of the three days of the seminar.
THIS SEMINAR IS NOW FULL. WE ARE NO LONGER ACCEPTING RSVP'S.
