June 26, 2013 — LIFE Vision, a quarterly event, is a two-day shot of high-energy, high-impact inspirational, and educational moments designed to bring current and future chiropractic leaders of all perspectives together to connect and recharge.

The deliberately dressed-down, powered-up convention format will contain no academic lectures or practical seminars. Instead, 20- to 30-minute “micro-presentations” — bursts of insight delivered by some of the most innovative and compelling names in the profession — will offer lived advice for the modern chiropractor, addressing such influential topics as creating your own brand of success, significance and lasting purpose; striking a work/life balance; staying passionate about your calling; and growing a practice by growing as a practitioner.

Micro-presentations will take place without a published schedule — attendees literally won’t know what topic or speaker to expect next. Sharon Gorman, DC, Life University trustee and co-president of the League of Chiropractic Women, has more than 20 years of experience participating in and hosting chiropractic seminars. She worked closely with Guy Riekeman, DC, and a committee of organizers to create the event. “It’s not a head seminar,” Gorman says. “It’s a heart seminar. This is about preparing yourself for success — mentally, physically, spiritually.”

“Think of it like TED for chiropractors,” Riekeman adds. “Hundreds of great chiropractic minds and hearts all coming together to pool their insights and energy, remind themselves why they love what they do, and teach themselves how to do it better.”

Unlike academic, for-credit seminars, LIFE Vision’s goal is to empower attendees by reconnecting them both to themselves — to their passion for their work, their inner creativity, their untapped potential — and to leaders within the profession who can inspire while providing practical tools for growth. It’s also refreshingly free of alienating agendas.

One of the guiding tenets at Life University is Lasting Purpose: To give, to do, to love, to serve — out of a sense of abundance. LIFE Vision is about expressing that Lasting Purpose in everything you do in your life. It’s about bringing Lasting Purpose to life in our world.

A total of 19 esteemed speakers have been confirmed for the inaugural event of July 26-27, 2013, in addition to four MCs (including Gorman herself). A handful of current LIFE students will also take the stage to round out the program with up-and-coming perspectives on the present and future of chiropractic. Altogether, the list of speakers reads like a who’s-who of chiropractic leadership.
