ZingTrain Speaker Series: Dr. Lee Meadows
Leveraging Diversity: An Ace Against the “Lull”
Dr. Lee Meadows’ other name is “The Lull Doctor”. And for good reason! Dr. Meadows specializes in helping organizations large and small, for-profit and non-profit, public and private, escape the Lull. He defines the Lull as a Missed Opportunity and has literally written the book on how to recognize missed opportunities and turn any situation into an innovative and dynamic experience. His book, “Taking the Lull by the Horns” outlines a philosophy of situational leadership that any individual can emulate and any organization can encourage!
In his studies of what prevents the Lull, Dr. Meadows has come to firmly believe that the growing (and well documented) diversity of the workforce represents a strength that enhances the competitive edge of successful organizations. He will tell you that maximizing a team’s diverse talents is a leadership opportunity that is anchored in a specific set of actions common to successful 21st century organizations. Join us this Wednesday, October 1, 8-930am.
Here are five quick questions with Dr. Meadows.

Whiskey and Apples Cocktail Class at Cornman Farms
A slight chill in the air, brilliantly colored leaves, the smell of apples…autumn has arrived in Michigan! We’re taking a historic approach to fall beverages for this month’s cocktail class.
The pilgrims planted the first apple trees in the Massachusetts Bay Colony upon arrival in the New World. Within a few short years, the settlers were making apple cider. A Scottish immigrant and Revolutionary soldier, Robert Laird founded the first US commercial distillery in New Jersey in 1780 to produce his already popular Applejack, a brandy-type liquor. About a century later Jack Daniels founded the oldest IRS-registered distillery in the US to make his Tennessee whiskey. To this day, apples and whiskey remain the perfect fall cocktail combination.
Join us for a celebration of autumn at Cornman Farms on Monday, October 6, 7pm as we discuss and mix cocktails using Jack Daniels whiskey, Laird’s Applejack liqueur, and farm-fresh apple cider. We’ll follow a centuries-old tradition with a Hot Apple Toddy, re-create the roaring ‘20s with a Jack Rose cocktail, and embrace the modern with an Apple Whiskey Manhattan. There’s no better way to welcome fall than with a drink that warms your body and your spirit!
We’ll also have some fantastic fall tapas to accompany your fantastic apple cocktails.

Michigan Wine Tasting at Zingerman’s Creamery
Winemaker Bryan Ulbrich has been in the business since 1993, starting out as a low-level, part-time employee.

In 2004, he was given the opportunity to purchase a failing local vineyard. He and his wife Jennifer successfully harvested a small crop that year, producing a single dry Riesling, and Left Foot Charley was born. Now based in the former Northern Michigan Asylum for the Insane, Left Foot Charley has teamed up with local growers to produce some of Michigan’s finest wines. On Friday, September 5, 6pm, we’ll pair some of our great house-made cheeses with selected flights of Left Foot Charley wines. Don’t miss it!
