CREATING A VISUAL
FOR WORK AND LIFE
9:00am – 10:30am Barb Scully with
Twisted Bulb,
Consulting &
Facilitation, has been
working in Community
Economic Development
and with entrepreneurs
for over a decade. She
has facilitated action
plans for both large
industry as well as the
smaller entrepreneur.
Barb believes that making a plan is more than just a
strategy, it’s a road map to help you find the tools to
take your life to action while making space for
balance.
SESSION ONE Barb understands the struggle as we hustle to stay
in the self-employment game and will help us create
a visual map of our current life situations to highlight
where we may feel out of balance and discover
strategies to make the life we want with work/life
harmony.

SIMPLIFYING THE COMPLEXITIES OF
BUSINESS INSURANCE
10:45am – 12:15pm Garnett Germain with
MHK Insurance has
worked in the insurance
business for 16 years.
Throughout his career, he
has taken great pride in
reviewing complex
insurance situations or
products and translating
them into easy-to-
understand, disseminating
information that enables his clients to make timely
and sound decisions. Our work, professional
opinion and advice can leave us susceptible to
accusations of errors and omissions. Garnett
strongly believes collaboration and education
create greater understanding and capability to build
the right insurance program for any business and
will discuss the possible liabilities in our work as
Professional Organizers as well as answer any
SESSION TWO questions about his field so we can best service and
protect both our clients and ourselves.
