FIND YOUR PASSION WORKSHOP PRESENTED BY MAKERVILLE FOUNDER JAY ZALTZMAN!
Do you envy those who seem to have discovered a passion that enriches and directs their lives?
With a little help from MAKERVILLE founder and workshop facilitator Jay Zaltzman, our workshop participants un-earthed their hidden aptitudes, interests and passions. The results were impressive!
Participants left the workshop with ideas they can immediately implement to make their lives more connected and fulfilling.
Jay is a lifelong student of human psychology. He served in the Israel Defense Forces Psychotechnic Unit and then went on to receive a BA in Psychology from Tel Aviv University. As president of Bureau West Market Research, he has facilitated workshops and focus groups for over 20 years. Jay is also co-founder of Salon for the Parched, a creative think tank based in Palm Springs.
In July of 2016, Jay was invited to present his views on FINDING YOUR PASSION to the 2016 World Future Society conference in Washington, DC.
