Explorer and Cultural Anthropologist Dr Jeff Salz to Share Inspiring Life Lessons at NABP's 102nd Annual Meeting
Traveling previously unexplored areas of the globe may sound more like Indiana Jones, but Dr Jeff Salz — cultural anthropologist, explorer, and journalist — has made his life out of adventure and exploration. The National Association of Boards of Pharmacy® (NABP®) is pleased to welcome Dr Salz as its keynote speaker for its 102nd Annual Meeting, to be held April 8-11, 2006, at the Westin St Francis in San Francisco, CA, during which he will skillfully guide attendees through the uncertainties of a changing world, inspiring them to chart their own course, achieve their goals, and turn each day into a "peak experience."
According to Dr Salz, "Adventure is a matter of attitude — not altitude." During his lifetime of adventure and exploration, Dr Salz has transformed his journeys into motivational presentations. He takes his audiences on a lively exploration of adventure and promotes its use as strategy for increasing effectiveness on the job and in daily life. Dr Salz explains that in order to make it through adverse and unexpected circumstances an adventurer must be creative, and all of us must have this ability.
Dr Salz will share his "Six Steps to the Top" during his thought-provoking address: 1. Leap Before You Look — risk-taking/action 2. Keep on Your Bearing — compassion/empathy 3. Aim High — envisioning/setting goals 4. Give It All You Have Got — teamwork/generosity of spirit 5. Work Some Magic — imagination/innovation 6. Enjoy the View — reflection/gratitude
Dr Salz has appeared in or has been the subject of, several television specials, including Quest for the Cloud People, which follows his traverse of the upper Amazon and Jesus in the Himalayas, which is an investigation into ancient legends.
Dr Salz holds a doctorate of philosophy in cultural anthropology from Ryokan College, a master's of science in education from International College, and a bachelor's of arts in education from Prescott College. For 10 years he taught at San Diego University, where he was named Outstanding Professor.
