Pawpaw Party with Neal Peterson at Zingerman’s Creamery

The Pawpaw tree bears fruit that is large, yellowish-green with a hint of brown. It contains many large brown seeds within the edible fruit pulp. When the Pawpaw trees flower, the fruit is first green and then begins to mature in September and lasts through October. Join us TONIGHT, October 20th, 530pm, as we celebrate this tasty and unique fruit with a visit from Neal Peterson, a plant scientist who specializes in Pawpaws. We’ll start the evening off with a demonstration of how we use Pawpaw at the Creamery to create our one of our signature gelato flavors, then Neal will talk about this special American fruit. We’ll have samples of freshly made Pawpaw Gelato to taste during Neal’s presentation, and season permitting, fresh pawpaw fruit for tasting and for sale in our shop.

ZingTrain Speaker Series: Eleni Kelakos

Great leaders and great actors are remarkably alike. Both radiate a powerful, transformational presence. Both use their vocal, physical and energetic presence to move us to thought, feeling and action. Both strive not for perfection but for excellence. Both inspire us to follow them, believe them and trust them.

Here is one more thing that Eleni Kelakos believes that great leaders and actors have in common – they seek to achieve Presence Mastery, the art of being fully who they are wherever they are no matter who’s watching or what’s at stake. And they commit to taking regular, ritualized actions to achieve presence (and presentation) mastery, so they can speak and lead with the greatest impact.

In this interactive session, Eleni Kelakos will teach you how to achieve Presence Mastery using acting methodologies honed from her experience as a professional actor in New York and Hollywood.

Join us on Wednesday, October 28th, 8-930am to learn:

• The 5 Principles of Transformational Presence– the building blocks of presence, presentation and performance mastery
• A simple, actor-based methodology to identify and develop your “Type” or Personal Leadership Brand
• Techniques to minimize the Lies That Bind you so you can lead with confidence and courage in pressurized scenarios
• The 10-minute Daily Presence Practice
• The Waiting in the Wings Warmup for optimum presence and performance
• The Final Four Questions, for ongoing development of your leadership presence and presentation excellence
  If you are committed to achieving mastery as a conscious communicator and leader-this speaker series session is for you!
