YES Event The Have It All Lifestyle
March 9
Puttshack
Oakbrook Center
Brought to you by SMACNA Greater Chicago, this Young Executives of SMACNA (YES) event will bring back popular speaker Alex Willis to talk about “The Have It All Lifestyle.” Our society loves achievement, qualifications, status and success ... but what’s the point if you’re always stressed, overwhelmed and don’t get to see the people who matter most?
His training session looks at the whole person and the whole life in context. Plus, attendees will be able to face off in a tech-infused game of mini golf while enjoying tasty bites and cocktails.
