Entertainment
Mark Lundholm "Taking Your Nose Off the Grindstone
You will not see another show like this one all year! This recovery comedy presentation is directed at the professionals in the treatment field. In a furiously humorous fashion, Mark Lundholm tackles the topic of budget cuts, burnout, competition and image protection in the workplace, as well as clients' demail and the need for treatment providers to take care of themselves too! You will be reminded in this hour of the purpose and passion that called you to this occupation in the first place. Mark's love of the "career codependents" in the industry is obvious. Hos work is unparallel. His message is clear: "We are all in this together. We all have something unique to provide. It's not like we are running out of customers."
