CLOSINg KEYNOTE SESSION: The Benefit of Benefits: How Starbucks Saved My Life KEyNoTE SPEAKER: Michael Gates Gill, author and Starbucks baristaMichael Gates Gill tells his inspiring story in How Starbucks Saved My Life, an instant bestseller that has struck a chord with a large portion of the middle-age and older population—and which will soon be a film starring Tom Hanks. A yale-educated ad exec, Gill was let go from his job (ostensibly for being old), saw his marriage disintegrate and was diagnosed with a brain tumour. He was not prepared for retirement and never engaged himself in the programs available to him through his “organized corporate job.” At the age of 63, he was desperate and without health insurance or a pension. In this presentation, Gill will speak to how he found redemption and a new sense of purpose where he least expected it: behind the counter of a Starbucks. His empowering story provides practical examples of how to move forward in life to new happiness and fulfillment at any age, despite life’s greatest challenges.
