Guest Speaker:

Bruce Willis introduced the guest speaker Dan Doherty of END POINT VISION. "When you want to build your capacity for high performance in your personal life, work, sports or other area of passion, EPV gives you the tools to succeed. Learn performance theory, and practice setting up powerful EPV structures in the areas of your life in which you choose to excel." 

Dan is a founder of a company that works to make higher education better.

Are you living your dream?  What you do internally and how it affects you externally. Dan encouraged Rotarians to set visions and goals to do good work in the world.
