More about Bruce Rosenstein:

Bruce interviewed and wrote extensively about Peter Drucker for USA TODAY
and other publications before writing his new book. He will share Drucker’s
secrets for leading a profoundly fulfilling life.

Bruce will focus on what you can learn and apply immediately from Drucker’s
work and personal life example on:

    * Living in more than one world; with diverse people, activities and
pursuits
    * Developing and getting the most out of your core competencies
    * Creating your future through actions you can take today
    * Exercising your generosity through mentoring and volunteering
    * Teaching and learning

Bruce will show, discuss and answer questions on a 21-minute video of his
interview with Peter Drucker, conducted in Claremont, California, seven
months to the day before Drucker died in 2005. Drucker shared his wisdom
about management, knowledge work and especially how to lead a contented,
satisfying life. You can view a 4 ½ minute trailer of the interview at:

Bruce Rosenstein is the author of Living in More Than One World: How Peter
Drucker's Wisdom Can Inspire and Transform Your Life (Berrett-Koehler,
August 2009). He found himself living the principles of the book
unexpectedly beginning in December, 2008, following a multiple-employee
layoff from USA TODAY, after 21 years. He was the embedded librarian in the
News section of the newspaper, and for the final 12 years, also wrote about
business and management books for the Money section.

The psychological blow of a layoff was considerably tempered because he had
already built the multidimensional principles in the book into his own
life. He began working on the book in late 2002, and has taught as a
lecturer at The Catholic University of America's School of Library and
Information Science in Washington, D.C., since 1996.

He has studied Drucker's work for more than twenty years. Besides USA TODAY
, he has written for such publications as Leader to Leader, Information
Outlook, ONLINE and Library Journal. Contact him on the web at
