Pep Talks Event at Tech Columbus 043009

I attended the 2nd Pep Talks event at Tech Columbus last evening in Columbus, and walked away incredibly impressed with the speakers, the organizer and especially the level of talent from the student community.

Pawan Murthy is the creator of this event and in both sessions has brought together a wonderful group of local, diverse leaders from the community to discuss their career lessons and how to strive for a work/life balance. Whether you are a student or a 20 year seasoned leader, each speakers unique view and experience made the 2 hours fly by.

Best way to find these types of events is at http://www.meetup.com/techlifecolumbus/ where you find a host of local technology events, the holy grail of such events in Central Ohio. The Pep Talks is found at http://thepeptalks.com/ and videos of the 1st session are available with the 04/30/09 session forthcoming. I highly recommend viewing and attending future sessions to provide an opportunity to network with local students, fun times.
