Real solutions for all NYers looking for economic well being

Two Evenings of Free Talks
Friday and Saturday, November 13th and 14th, from 7:30-10:00 pm.
Washington Irving Auditorium, 40 Irving Place (just east of Union Square at 17th Street), New York, NY

Help for New Yorkers coping with the fallout of the current economic crisis comes from Geshe Michael Roach, Buddhist Monk and author of the best-selling book, The Diamond Cutter, The Buddha on Managing Your Business and Your Life; and John Foley, performance expert and former lead solo pilot of a Navy flight demonstration squadron. Geshe Michael and John Foley are being brought together by New York’s Business Outreach Center. They will offer a two-night experience, which will encourage and provide solutions, especially for those rebuilding businesses and careers. The talks are absolutely free; no strings attached, and are aimed at helping us all get the economy moving.
The Business Outreach Center brings together two lives of great accomplishment from opposite ends of the social spectrum for an inside look into personal success and fearlessness. Their messages are applicable not only to professional endeavors, but also to an individual’s personal quest for excellence.
The event also marks the release of the 10th Anniversary Edition of The Diamond Cutter, as well as the long-awaited sequel to the work, Karmic Management. Members of the audience will receive a free pamphlet that includes parts of both books.

Geshe Michael Roach is the first American to be awarded the title of geshe, or master of Buddhism, after 20 years of study in a Tibetan monastery. He helped found Andin International Diamond Corporation and take it to $100 million dollars in annual sales. He is also an honors graduate of Princeton University and has received the Presidential Scholar Medallion from the president of the United States.

John Foley, in addition to his achievements as a Navy fighter pilot, is a graduate of the United States Naval Academy and holds three Master’s degrees. One in Business Management, from the Stanford Graduate School of Business (where he was a Sloan Fellow); in International Policy Studies, from Stanford University; and in Strategic Studies, from the Naval War College. He is the founder and president of the CenterPoint Companies, which provides business performance training to Fortune 500 corporations, professional associations, and educational organizations around the world.
