This is the last call. The Creativity Cruise sets sail from Ft. Lauderdale, with stops in Belize & Cozumel, on February 4-9, 2012. Join us for an amazing conference with creative thought leaders and participants from South Africa, Australia, Japan, Costa Rica and the USA who believe that learning can be fun, as well as a way to improve your bottom line.
It’s priced right: A luxurious, educational escape, priced below most conferences (in boring hotels). Spend less than $1,000 for the conference including: 5-nights & 6 days lodging, receptions, gourmet dining, entertainment, and sunsets. That's serious value for your money.

Many of us have a stereotypical idea of what a decorated war hero and Colonel is. What we don't imagine is Colonel Jill Morgenthaler. She is a complex woman who is a war hero, raised a family, has been the top executive for homeland security in Illinois, ran for US Congress and has spent her life saving lives. When you meet the Colonel, you will be struck by her strength, femininity, confidence and compassion.
5 pm, Saturday, December 3rd 2011
Meiley-Swallow Theater
North Central College
30 N. Brainard Street
Naperville, IL
Colonel (Ret.) Jill Morgenthaler
Jill Morgenthaler, Inc. "CJMI"
ABZ question: What lessons could you learn from one of the first lady colonel who was trained as an equal with men?
