A VERY SPECIAL SESSION : August 31, 8:00 AM – 9:30 AM

From ZingTrain.com:

“The ZingTrain Speaker Series is a suite of thought-provoking presentations featuring experts sharing their wisdom on various aspects of the business world.

Peter Block has deeply influenced the way we work at Zingerman’s. His ideas on Stewardship and Leadership have changed the very core of how we work. It is with much excitement (and no small measure of nerdish glee) that we welcome Peter for a very Special Edition of our Speaker Series.

In his characteristically cogent and convincing style, Peter Block will share with you his vision for a Compassionate Economy, and the work he has been doing on this front in Cincinnati. An economy that works for all, even the most persistently challenged people and neighborhoods. An economy that gauges its vitality with more human spirit than the measures of annual income, GDP, crime, schooling and the like.

And here’s the best part – drawing from his new book, An Other Kingdom: Departing the Consumer Culture*, Peter will concretely focus on the fundamental shift in narrative and action we can each embrace in order to realize this Compassionate Economy.

Join us! Much as his ideas have changed Zingerman’s approach to business, we are convinced that Peter will change the very core of how you think about the economy and consumer culture we live in.”
