Dave Tucker

West Valley Clean Water Program Authority

Oct. 03, 2018 7:30 a.m.

Dave will explain how the Clean Water Authority is similar to the Solid Waste Authority, how the City Council members participate, what they do, what citizens can watch for - and do to help. Their general direction is to talk about what "stormwater pollution" is - how water running off property and streets goes directly into our creeks,
without any "cleaning" (treatment) and what we do to help prevent that pollution.  Then they discuss what everyone can do to help - as home owners with yards/landscaping; as citizens reporting pollution; as people who buy 'to-go' coffee in paper cups which can end up as litter, etc.

The West Valley Clean Water Program Authority wears many hats to  keep us safe.  They prevent pollution in our local (Los Gatos, Campbell, Monte Sereno and Saratoga) creeks, dispose of liquids leaking from business trash bins or oil running from a driveway into the gutter.

Learn what we do to keep your creeks clean, and how we can all support this important work.

4 Challenges Modern Parents Face...

Feb. 06, 2019 7:30 a.m.

...That Keep Them Overwhelmed, Anxious and Feeling Guilty About Their Kids.

Parenting is not what it used to be.  Whether you are a parent, grandparent, employer or manager, it is important to understand the unique pressures that parents are under today.  Once parents understand the challenges and learn How to Combat Them, they become the leaders of their family, so their kids will thrive and grow into responsible adults.  Parents who have calm and harmonious home lives are better able to find home/work life balance.  In this workshop, Elisabeth’s highly-rated, power-packed teaching includes
•How society does not support families and what can be done about it. 
•How to parent the kids you have (not the ones you wish you had)
•How to parent from core values so as to be confident and focused as a parent.  
 
Bio:
Author and award winning parent educator Elisabeth Stitt founded Joyful Parenting Coaching in 2014 to give parents the skills they need to be confident and joyous.  Over the course of her 25-year teaching career in the Redwood City School District, Elisabeth saw how parents were becoming increasingly isolated and at the same time were coming to parenting with little or no actual hands on experience with kids.  Whereas parents used to turn to family and neighbors for models in how to parent, today they have to seek out information and support from professionals.  Through in-person workshops, one-on-one coaching and online webinars, Elisabeth helps parents establish harmonious households so they can have the warm, loving relationships they desire with their kids.  On her Joyful Parenting tele-summits, Elisabeth has interviewed parenting experts like Dr. Michael Gurian, Dr. Laura Markham and author Julie Lythcott-Haims.  Elisabeth’s book, Parenting as a Second Language uses anecdotes from her own experience as a mom, single mom, stepmom and teacher to show parents how to use warmth and empathy to stay connected to their kids even when they make the inevitable mistakes we make as parents.

The Grateful Garment Project

Feb. 20, 2019 7:30 a.m.

When a victim of sexual assault enters a SART (Sexual Assault Response Team) facility for an examination, they are often required to surrender their clothing for forensic evidence. This can leave victims with nothing to wear home.
The mission of The Grateful Garment Project is to ensure that every victim of a sexual crime who crosses the threshold of a Sexual Assault Response Team (SART) facility or who seeks crisis invention, medical attention or law enforcement involvement is provided with whatever new clothing, toiletries, snacks, and other miscellaneous items that he or she may require.

Barry Minkin

Future Insight

Feb. 27, 2019 7:30 a.m.

Barry Minkin, world affairs expert, futurist, global management consultant, author and professional speaker has been featured on Larry King Live, Tech-Nation, Smart Money, Money Talk, Everybody's Business, The Paula Poundstone Show and The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Fortune and United Airlines Hemisphere. The economic newsletter Critical Factors   proclaimed "Barry Minkin is very much in the running for guru of the decade."

With over  50 years as a global management consultant, including 10 years with Stanford Research Institute (now SRI International), Minkin has consulted with scores of Fortune 500 and growth companies across most industry sectors, as well as government and various trade associations.  His insights into the company-specific factors that determine success in the real world have allowed him to accurately develop market forecasts and strategies for his clients.  

 As his global reputation for accurate forecasting grew, he was asked to publish his forecasts in the Corporate Times in Silicon Valley. Minkin’s regular monthly column contained dozens of specific predictions. For example, he was the first person to predict the decline of the US manufacturing sector in the 1970's, the rise of gold in the 1980's
