50 Plus!
Critical Career Decisions for the Rest of Your Life

 Robert L. Dilenschneider, a long-time resident of Darien, is the founder and CEO of The Dilenschneider Group, a strategic communications and counseling firm that has served Fortune 500 companies, heads of state, corporate CEOs, major non-profits and noted philanthropists for more than 25 years.  He has advised countless job-hunters and job-changers, ranging from company presidents seeking a new challenge to fresh college graduates looking for that first professional job.

In his new book, 50 Plus! Critical Career Decisions for the Rest of Your Life, he writes that some of the world’s most accomplished people did their finest work at an age where others were contemplating retirement or already collecting Social Security.

"Harland Sanders achieved great success right at the point when a lot of people decide to hang up the towel. He was running a gas station with a restaurant on the side when he noticed that his fried chicken was outstripping his gasoline in sales. He decided to franchise and, in so doing, created a phenomenon: Colonel Sanders’ Kentucky Fried Chicken. He was in his sixties.”

With his eternal optimism and certain conviction that anything can be achieved with enough work and willpower, Bob Dilenschneider will talk about how to shape your own future, market yourself, get a new job or even start your own business.
