Speaker and Program Mentor – Jim Markan
Retirement would have to be put off again for Mr. Markan. After departing from the corporate working world, Jim’s vision had shifted and his need to help others far exceeded his want to sit lakeside enjoying a cold beverage. Inspired by the work of the Dalai Lama and Desmond Tutu in their co-authored bestseller, “The Book of Joy: Lasting Happiness in a Changing World,” Jim quickly became encapsulated in the Lifelong Learning Institute where he soon became a speaker and program mentor. He has a wealth of knowledge in positive cognitive development and has spent time traversing the country sharing ideas in hopes of creating a more united planet.
