Can Enhanced Communication Skills Lead to a More Fulfilling Life?
Deborah Beroset
Communication Expert, Seminar Leader
Landmark
"Clear communication is vital in every aspect of life. Business and personal relationships depend upon it. Communication is at the heart of all major conflicts, whether interpersonal relations with family and friends or your ability to communicate with confidence and power in the workplace. Learning to navigate the interpersonal dynamics can lead to a breakthrough for people in the areas of life that matter most."

How to Read the Body Language and Micro-Expressions of Customers
Carl Christman
Mentalist and Communication Professor
"What people say is not nearly as important as how they say it. Good salespeople listen to what their prospective customers say. Great salespeople read prospective customers' body language and micro-expressions. By knowing what people are actually thinking, salespeople of all types have a much better chance of catering to their needs and making the sale."
Christman is a teacher, author, and mentalist. He plays with language, psychology and non-verbal communication to educate and entertain audiences. His best-selling book, "How to Read Minds and Influence People," explores communication from a radically different perspective. It unlocks the science of mind reading and helps people harness the power of persuasion. It offers readers the tools to relate to people and positively influence them. He is based in Los Angeles.

The Perils of Sudden Wealth
Myra Salzer
Wealth Coach
The Wealth Conservancy
"What many people don't realize is that when someone comes into a sudden wealth, a life changing amount of money, they inherit a lot more with it. People who are suddenly rich often feel terribly guilty. Usually they are no longer in the same financial situation as their friends, so they may feel bad about their own fortunate circumstances. Some people feel boggled by having so many options, so they don't know what to do and instead do nothing. And perhaps the worst mistake they make is relying only on advice of a family member of friend -- or deciding to go it alone. That can be like asking your hair stylist for a hot stock tip. There are of course things that can be done to help avoid feeling this way, but many people don't know where to go for this help."
Salzer has 25 years' experience helping people who come into sudden wealth. She is the author of "The Inheritor's Sherpa," "Living Richly: Seizing the Potential of Inherited Wealth" and "The Cabin: Building a Family-of-Affinity Office."

What to Do When Your Restricted Stock Units Have Vested
Bijan Golkar, CFP®
CEO/Senior Advisor
FPC Investment Advisory, Inc.
What do you do when your restricted stock units (RSUs) have vested? Do you cash your shares out? If you're like most RSU recipients, you plan to hold on to your shares for a year before selling. That way, you'll avoid the very high tax rate on short-term capital gains, and pay the lower, long-term capital gains rate, right? Actually that's not how RSUs work. Explains Golkar: "If your company runs into trouble, not only will your stock crater, but you might be out of a job as well. When your wealth is all in the form of your company's stock, you're not just putting all your eggs in one basket, you're living in that basket too."
Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, Golkar has been quoted in The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, U.S. News & World Report, Yahoo Finance, The Fiscal Times, Bankrate, MoneyUnder30.com, MainStreet.com, InvestmentNews.com, Physician's Money Digest, and DepositAccounts.com.

In Mobile App Development, Speed is Essential
Dev Gandhi
CEO
moBack
"To bridge the gap between mobile app supply and demand, speed is essential. According to Gartner, 20 million enterprise apps will be built in the next five years. IT departments and managers are now under pressure to speed up the delivery of these critical business apps, which have specific requirements addressed by MBaaS."
Gandhi is an expert in mobile development and the mobile economy, as well as technology trends as they relate to mobile. He founded Nexage, which was eventually sold to Millennial Media for $108 million. His most current venture is moBack, a new enterprise Mobile Backend-as-a-Service (MBaaS) company. One of the key products of moBack is moBack Enterprise, a self-deployable MBaaS platform that helps developers build and deploy mobile and Web apps faster and at a lower cost. With moBack's self-deployable platform, businesses now have instant access to an easy, secure and scalable backend platform to develop mobile apps, while enjoying full control and customization capabilities. This announcement marks the launch of a multi-phase rollout of the cloud-based platform, which allows large enterprises and startups to rapidly scale their existing infrastructure to roll out mobile and Web apps.

Trends in Cloud Migration
Mark Shirman
President and CEO
RiverMeadow
"Cloud computing is starting to move into the mainstream -- not only public cloud, but also very considerably hybrid/private cloud computing. After a few years of testing the technologies, companies will be deploying these strategies when they have planned infrastructure changes, such as server upgrades, data center consolidation, equipment coming off of lease, and M&A. The concept of containers for cloud mobility is going to become very popular, but it's important to note that, in order to move legacy servers/applications, you still need tools and processes to either get those into a container or rewrite.  Many people rely just upon data replication tools when thinking about Disaster Recovery – real DRaaS requires synchronized data as well as the ability to move/synch the OS and hypervisor. In the coming years, customers will care less and less about how the Cloud Architecture and hypervisor is being used, and care more about mobility and portability."
Shirman brings nearly 30 years of entrepreneurial experience in the IT arena. Before RiverMeadow, Shirman was the founder and CEO of GlassHouse Technologies, where for 11 years he was responsible for building the company's leadership in the data center solutions space, managing the investment community and setting the vision for the company's solution development.
