16 April 2009; Tucson, Arizona:

The Southern Arizona chapter of the Society for Technical Communication (STC) invited Rich Maggiani to present his session entitled “How Time Off Can Boost Your Career” (slides). The presentation tells how professionals can enhance their career by taking some time to examine their situation and set achievement goals.

This session is based on Maggiani’s six-month sabbatical that he took during the first half of 2003. Living full time in Honolulu, Hawai‘i in the Kaimuki neighborhood with his family, Maggiani created the plan for founding Solari Communication. He also hiked and climbed extensively throughout the island of O‘ahu.
