LA Chapter - September newsletter
Dear Reader,
It was great to see everyone at the Bon Voyage party at the Consul General's house on August 21, where we enjoyed canapes and cocktails in the beautiful back garden of the Consul General's gorgeous home, meeting new friends and catching up with former classmates. Alumni shared tips with new LSE students about where to live, how to get around town, and where to do their banking, as well as convenient ways to call back to the U.S., and new students got to meet each other and share information about who is studying in which department, as well as their excitement as they head off for London.
Building on the spirit generated by that event, we are seeking to make good on all the offers of volunteer help to aid us in planning the rest of the year's events calendar. Please contact losangeles@aflse.org with your ideas and suggestions for events you'd like to see the chapter put on -- we'd love for you to be a part of making it happen.
Upcoming Events:
LA chapter members are invited to join the Harvard Business School Alumni Association of Southern California (HBSASC) for a unique opportunity to meet and hear from legendary producer Peter Guber on the art of storytelling. Event: Peter Guber - "Want to be Heard? Tell Your Story!" Date: October 2nd, 2007 Time: 6:00 - 8:30 PM Guber's talk will begin at 7:15 and will be followed by a question and answer session. Location: Luxe Hotel (at the 405 and Sunset) http://www.luxehotels.com/pics/352_d.jpg
Over the course of his illustrious thirty year career, Guber's films have earned more than $3 billion worldwide and more than 50 Academy Award nominations, including the Best Picture Oscar for Rainman. He is a sought after speaker, and appears every Sunday morning on as the co-host of the critically acclaimed AMC cable show, Sunday Morning Shootout, which is based on his best selling book. Guber is a full professor at the UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television and has been a member of the faculty for over 30 years. Peter Guber is currently the Chairman and CEO of the Mandalay Entertainment Group, which specializes in motion pictures, television, sports entertainment and new media. Guber's talk, "Want to be Heard, Tell Your Story", is a powerful explanation of how to use stories to advance your life. Nothing has the ability to influence others or galvanize a team more than a powerful story, well told. In fact, storytelling is the secret sauce enabling us as business professionals to achieve extraordinary results in sales, as leaders, and in propelling our careers. In our world where state-of-the-art technology has hijacked the power of emotional connections, Peter Guber shares how storytelling provides the state-of-the-heart-technology so you and your message can be truly be heard. Drawing from his career rich in storytelling expertise, Guber interweaves his professional insight, personal anecdotes, and psychological study to enlighten, entertain and transform our business lives. ----
