A Professional Development Series Event :
"Coming into Your Wisdom, Power and Peace - Bringing Synergy and Alignment to Your Career & Personal Life"

Are you struggling to achieve a modicum of balance between the demands of your professional life and the fulfillment you desire from your personal life? People everywhere seem to be screaming, “I need more balance in my life!” But what does that mean? Bonnie Bell, Career Design Consultant and Executive Coach, thinks we might be asking the wrong questions and jumping to the wrong conclusions about the time/stress problems we all face. "What we really need is harmony – personally, spiritually and professionally - the sense that we are leading full, intentional lives.”

Bonnie has developed an original approach to the problem that involves “Coming Into Your Wisdom, Power and Peace." Join us for dinner on November 30th for an evening that could help you get a jump on the holiday stress about to descend on all of us, and prepare you for a New Year of effective action that will move you toward the life you want.

About the Presenter: 

Bonnie Bell, with her husband, Jim, owns and manages Bell Investment Advisors, Inc. in downtown Oakland. Bell Investment Advisors offers Investment Management, Financial Planning, and Career & Life Planning and Coaching. They are the first financial management firm in the Bay Area – and possibly in the country - to offer Career & Life Planning and Coaching services on-site. The firm has over $260M under management, and was recently ranked #16 among the Fastest Growing Privately-Owned Businesses in the East Bay Area, and #30 in the San Francisco Bay Area. Bell Investment Advisors will celebrate its 15th Anniversary next year.

Bonnie has an MA in Counseling, a Master’s of Divinity, and almost 10 years of continuous education in Leadership, Entrepreneurship, Innovation & Power (LEIP) from the Aji Network in Silicon Valley. Prior to her current professional roles, she was a social worker, a mental health counselor, and a business owner. She has been a career coach for almost 20 years.

During this time, Bonnie has helped hundreds of men and women find their way to more satisfying careers and lives. She has worked with financial advisors, attorneys, engineers, marketing professionals, artists, architects, small business owners, sales professionals, and one humorist, now author, Nancy Levine, whose successful books on pug dogs include The Tao of Pug. She has worked with managers and executives of corporations such as Cisco, HP, Palm Computing, Charles Schwab, Bank of America, Kaiser Permanente, and Accenture, locally and via telephone around the country. Bonnie has also helped give birth to several small businesses in the Bay Area including Fleur de Lis Communications in Alameda, Dawg Adventures in Oakland, and BarbarElla Beauty Lounge in Berkeley.

As part of our continued involvement in the East Bay community, the FWA is proud to support STAND Against Domestic Violence, a support organization for families suffering from domestic violence. Last year FWA members donated approximately $250 in gift cards from Target, Safeway and KMart, allowing mothers to buy small gifts or groceries for their children. If you would like to participate in our 2006 community outreach to STAND, please bring a gift card of any denomination to our November 30th meeting. A representative from STAND will be at the meeting to accept the gift cards for delivery to the STAND mothers. We thank you in advance for your continued support.
