Andrew bernsteinResilience 101, Inc.Rockefeller Plaza1230 Avenue of the Americas, 7th floorNew York, NY 10020 USAT : 888.846.7444www.resilience101.com [email protected]

Andrew Bernstein is the founder of Resilience 101, a provocative training program that teaches people a completely new way to understand and eliminate stress. After facing a series of unexpected life challenges at a young age, Bernstein spent his 20s and early 30s studying self-help on his own. A New Yorker trained in critical thinking at Johns Hopkins, he felt that traditional approaches to self-help were either too “New Agey” or too clinical. He also discovered that our traditional understanding of stress was based on a fundamental misconception. Integrating his experiences with many different tools such as cognitive therapy and a technique called The Work of Byron Katie, Bernstein created a new process that quickly helped even skeptical participants have profound breakthroughs. He was featured in Oprah’s O magazine, then turned his sights on the corporate world.

Bernstein has now taught the dynamics of real resilience at Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, Viacom, Genentech and other leading companies committed to employee well being and productivity. He also shares his program pro bono at non-profits like Phoenix House, the Hole in the Wall Gang camp and City Year. Bernstein speaks not as a therapist or guru, but as someone who experienced challenges in life and has created an intelligent and effective way to truly resolve them. He lives in New York City and is currently at work on a book about the real nature of stress and resilience.

the Hon. michael r. bloombergMayor of New York City HallNew York, NY 10007 USAT : 212.639.9675www.nyc.gov/mayor

Michael R. Bloomberg is the 108th Mayor of New York City. Mayor Bloomberg’s thirst for information and fascination with technology was evident at an early age, and led him to Johns Hopkins University, where he parked cars and took out loans to finance his education. After his college graduation, he gained an MBA from Harvard and worked on Wall Street for Salomon Brothers.

He quickly advanced through the ranks and became a partner in 1972. He was fired in 1981 after another company acquired Salomon. Mr. Bloomberg used his stake from the Salomon sale to start his own company, an endeavor that would revolutionize the way that Wall Street does business. He created a financial information computer that would collect and analyze different combinations of past and present securities data and deliver it immediately to the user.

In 1982, Bloomberg L.P. sold 20 subscriptions to its service; 20 years later, Bloomberg LP has over 165,000 subscribers worldwide. As the business proved its viability, the company branched out and in 1990 entered the media business, launching a news service, and then radio, television, Internet and publishing operations.

As the company enjoyed tremendous growth, he dedicated more of his time and energy to philanthropy and civic affairs. His desire to improve education, advance medical research and increase access to the arts, has provided the motivation for much of his philanthropy.

Jamie DrakeDrake Design Associates315 East 62nd Street, 5th floorNew York, NY 10021 USAT : [email protected] www.drakedesignassociates.com

It is important, as Jean Cocteau once said, not to confuse seriousness with gravity. Jamie Drake, the New York-based designer, doesn’t. The man behind some of the country’s most dynamic, distinctive and livable interiors knows how to create delightful environments and craft décor that is as right for a particular place as it is for the person or family occupying it. Equally comfortable in traditional and contemporary styles, he has a natural gift for making modern interiors inviting, and enlivening traditional spaces with a fresh mix of contemporary elements. Drake’s device of choice is color — used boldly, fearlessly, and with great flair. Says, Drake, “there is little that doesn’t inspire me.”

Drake’s notable residential interiors include a Los Angeles showplace for Madonna, a Martha’s Vineyard vacation retreat, and a stunning Manhattan apartment for Phyllis and Victor Grann. Drake has also completed multiple projects for New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg — a client for almost 20 years —including the recent renovation and restoration of Gracie Mansion, the longtime ceremonial residence of the Mayor of New York and the redesign of various rooms at City Hall. Drake designed rooms for The Hampton Design Show House at Villa Maria and the French Design Show House, among others. His work has been widely published in leading journals, including Architectural Digest, Elle Decor, and House Beautiful. Drake has also appeared on Bloomberg TV, CNN’s “Style with Elsa Klensch” and HGTV.

Eugene Grin, through the Grin Family Foundation, operates a fast growing, self-directed not-for-profit organization to provide direct support to people who fall outside of the assistance umbrella of conventional charitable programs. Eugene’s background would easily have qualified him to receive charitable support and not to be providing it. Born in Kiev to World War II survivors, he grew up on the street with no money, limited education and virtually no chance to escape a dark life of poverty, alcoholism and an early mortality.

In a series of remarkable events, as a young man he was suddenly able to come to the United States. After sweeping floors in a fast food outlet and selling vacuum cleaners door-to-door, he continued to find ways to advance himself. He is today the founder and fund manager of the US$1 billion-plus Laurus Family of Funds (www.laurusfunds.com), one of the world’s top performing hedge funds. And having achieved his current position, his passion for the rest of his life is to develop effective strategies to provide opportunity to young children who would otherwise be trapped without the chance to have a better life.

Mr. Grin, together with paid Grin Foundation staffers, is planting the seeds for what he plans to develop as a linked global community of full-time development and enrichment programs for children of extreme poverty.

Yvette rugasaguhunga2900 Purchase Street, #352Purchase, NY 10577 [email protected]

Yvette Rugasaguhunga was born in 1980 in Kigali, Rwanda. The eighth child, her birth was welcomed by her very large and caring Roman Catholic family. On her first day of elementary school, Yvette was asked her ethnic group. When she said she did not know, this became her first homework assignment. The following day she reported that she was a Tutsi. It was not until later that she understood the true meaning of her ethnicity.

Yvette graduated from elementary school and in 1993 was the first in her family to be admitted to a public high school. By then, the open discrimination against Tutsi was rampant, and many Tutsi were being killed or incarcerated without justice.

In 1994, Tutsi lived amidst genocide in a hundred days of horror beyond bearing murder, abduction and rape. More than one million Tutsi were murdered in 100 days and survivors lived in fear, hopelessness and despair. After Yvette almost witnessed the brutal death of her father, she watched in vain as her older brother, Rambert was slaughtered. His valiant fight for survival gave her the strength to fight for her own life. She ultimately graduated from high school and went on to college. In 2004, she left Rwanda for the USA. After realizing there are many who still deny that genocide occurred in Rwanda, she has dedicated her life to speaking out. Yvette now lives in New York and is a junior at Manhattanville College.

Eliot Spitzer took the office of New York State Attorney General in 1999 and through a series of innovative actions has redefined the role of Attorney General. He investigated conflicts of interest by investment banks, illegal trading practices by mutual funds and bid rigging in the insurance industry. He has recovered billions of dollars for small investors and other consumers in these cases and was the catalyst for industry-wide reforms. Attorney General Spitzer has acted to stop fraud in the marketplace, to level the playing field for honest businesses and to help restore confidence in the markets. As a result of these and other actions, he was named “Crusader of the Year” by Time magazine and the “Sheriff of Wall Street” by “60 Minutes.” The title that most accurately reflects his role is “the People’s Lawyer.” The cases that mean the most to him are his pioneering labor rights cases to ensure the minimum wage and decent workings conditions for immigrants and other low-wage workers in service industries.

He began his career as a clerk to US District Court Judge Robert W. Sweet and later served as an Assistant District Attorney in Manhattan. He also spent time in private practice with Paul Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton and Garrison; Skadden Arps, Slate, Meagher and Flom; and Constantine & Partners.

oFF-site: Greenwich village and the white Horse tavernmonday, 11 september 12:45-5:15pm

Lunch in the back room of a notorious speakeasy and take a walking tour of the Village. Greenwich Village is not only a physical place, but a full strength slice of a New York state of mind. To see it on foot is to experience its scale and texture. The setting for “Rent” is a close neighbor to the backdrop of “Barefoot in the Park.” The Sullivan Street Theatre, home to “The Fantasticks,” the world’s longest-running musical, is but one of many off-Broadway playhouses in the neighborhood, including The Public Theatre, which first showcased “A Chorus Line” and “Hair.” Just around the corner is the site of the Fillmore East, the ’60s hippie hangout for the music of peace and love. And together with these artistic settings were some very tough places, including the Five Points section, as told in the story of “Gangs of New York” and the area on the waterfront, home of the notorious “Westies Gang.” Hosting us for the start of our Village experience is Jimmy Munson, proprietor of the legendary 125 year-old White Horse Tavern, famous first for its roots as the Westies clubhouse and later for hard-drinking literati and culture icons it attracted, including Jack Kerouac, Norman Mailer, Andy Warhol, Anais Nin and most famously Dylan Thomas, who died at the bar there after 18 shots of straight whiskey. John Belushi of “Saturday Night Live” fame spent so much time at The White Horse that on the night he died, his “Blues Brothers” partner Dan Akyroyd walked in, shut the doors and bought drinks for the entire bar. Jimmy will share burgers, beer and stories with us from the history of the

tavern. We’ll then set off on foot to experience the heart of this extraordinary neighborhood

oFF-site: the House that ruth built - Yankee stadiummonday, 11 september 1:15-3:45pm

Home to the world’s greatest baseball team (frequently), Yankee Stadium is a place of lore and legend. Stand on the field where baseball immortals Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio and Mickey Mantle played and you’ll channel the energies of current stars like Derek Jeter, Jason Giambi and Bernie Williams. Sit in the dugout where so many Yankee managers (sometimes the same guy hired, fired and rehired!) set the team lineup. And visit the most legendary area in professional sports, the Stadium’s Monument Park, deep in left-center field, where retired numbers, plaques and monuments attest to the champions who have driven the Bronx Bombers to their record 26 championships. You’ll be steeped in the mystique and aura of this superlative team and the men in pinstripes who regularly wrote and rewrote the record books on sports excellence. We’ll ride the subway there (if you haven’t been on a New York City subway recently, be prepared to be pleasantly surprised) and see what goes on behind the scenes at the place where the fictional George Constanza from “Seinfeld” worked, and where the very real George Steinbrenner (from Tampa) still works to make the Yankees New York’s favorite team.

oFF-site: the Cloisters - A renaissance Fantasy monday, 11 september 1:30-5:00pm

Spend an enchanting afternoon at The Cloisters, the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s jewel of medieval and renaissance art set in a brilliant period garden in Fort Tryon Park at the northern tip of Manhattan. We’ve been invited to a private tour of the Cloisters as the personal guest of its chief curator, the prominent art scholar Peter Barnet. This world-renowned collection is devoted to European art and architecture including sculpture, tapestries, illuminated manuscripts, the crafts of goldsmiths and silversmiths, stained glass and enamels. Visiting the Cloisters is one of the absolutely great New York experiences — it’s in the city, but occupies a space that existed centuries earlier. During our CEOers-only visit we’ll have the Museum to ourselves, much as a medieval cloister felt to its occupants in the Middle Ages. When New Yorkers are asked what makes our town so special, the list of answers is long, but the Cloisters is regularly on it.

oFF-site: real stars (and real reptiles)! the American museum of Natural Historymonday, 11 september 1:45-5:30pm

There is no human enterprise that can shock and enlighten us — and change our sense of self and the universe — like scientific discovery. The American Museum of Natural History is not just a premier institution for the display of the results of this quest, but at its core is an incubator for its genesis. As the guests of Museum Director Ellen Futter, our visit to the Museum will provide an intimate introduction to this legendary facility.

At the Rose Center for Earth and Space, an ultra modern glass cube that looks as much science fiction as science fact, we’ll experience a thrilling journey from the outer reaches of the universe to the inner workings of the Earth, including a history of the universe from the Big Bang to now, narrated by Jodi Foster. From there, we’ll see the Tom Hanks-narrated “Space Show,” which uses the world’s largest and most powerful virtual reality simulator (matched only by NASA and the largest military research facilities), to travel to intergalactic space and then free-fall back to Earth, headlong through a black hole. From there we’ll visit a live lizard exhibition that’s the subject of ongoing museum research and meet with Director Futter to learn more about her work running the Natural History Museum.

Trapeze School New York, set in Chelsea on the banks of the Hudson River, is your opportunity first to see how aerial gymnasts perform, then to do it yourself — all while taking in stunning river views down to Wall Street and up to the George Washington Bridge. TSNY became known globally after the HBO television “Sex in the City” episode titled “The Catch,” when Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) overcame her fear of flying, climbed the TSNY ladder, grabbed the bar and took off. This sensational activity and its spectacular setting have caused TSNY to be named by Travel & Leisure magazine as one of the “50 Great American Adventures.” TSNY has been visited by scores of other celebrities and news reporters from around the world, including Al Roker (“The Today

At the same time, it’s an aggressive place where sellers can take great advantage of the unwary. Leading us through this jungle will be Frank Pollak.

oFF-site: walk Central park with the Central park Conservancymonday, 11 september 2:30-5:00pm

How did 843 acres of swampy, muddy terrain become transformed into one of the world’s premier public spaces? More than 150 years ago, when the visionary landscape architects Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux were entrusted with the mission of showcasing the power of nature to lift man’s spirit above the drudgery of city life, did they recognize that their work would become a place that would routinely attract over 250,000 people on a nice spring weekend? And when the Park became a tired and run-down dust bowl, who would have predicted that a special public/private partnership between the City and some individuals under the not-for-profit banner of the Central Park Conservancy would not only bring the Park back, but transform it into an even better place?

The more than 26,000 trees and 275 species of birds, the ball fields and ponds, the zoo and the bridle paths are visited by 25 million people each year, for sports, concerts and quiet walks. Come see this wonderful treasure in the company of its keeper, a member of the Central Park Conservancy team. You’ll learn about the challenge of maintaining the balance between active recreation and quiet contemplation, and about the care of the foliage and the wildlife. It’s Central Park like you’ve never seen it, a behind-the-scenes tour of the management of a place that’s always in full view.

Approximate walking time is one and one-half hours.

Colbert brings his sarcastic charm to a half-hour report, tackling the important issues of the day and telling his guests why their opinions are just plain wrong.” Join us for an event that promises to be engaging and offer a humorous spin on the men and women who speculate about current events and politics.

Learn how Mayor Michael Bloomberg got to the Mayor’s house and see where he doesn’t live!

Gracie Mansion has been the official residence of the Mayor of the City of New York since the time of our beloved Mayor Fiorella LaGuardia during World War II. This late 18th century wood residence and the surrounding 11-acre Carl Schurz Park commands a promontory overlooking the open mouth of the wild current of the East River. Gracie Mansion was built for the prosperous shipping merchant Archibald Gracie. Since the 1940s, nine successive mayors and the first families of New York have taken residence here — until our current first citizen, Mayor Michael Bloomberg.

We’ll see the newly renovated Mansion, including a viewing of the private bedrooms and family space never before open for public viewing. After the tour, we’ll meet at the Mansion with prominent political pollster and consultant Douglas Schoen, co-founder of Penn, Schoen & Berland Associates, now a part of British advertising giant WPP Group. Doug now serves as chairman of PS&B and is also on-air as a political analyst for Fox News.

He’ll talk candidly about his work electing Michael Bloomberg, a Republican Jewish billionaire from Boston who defeated a locally born Hispanic Democrat in a city whose voters are more than 50-percent minority and more than 75-percent Democratic. To do this, the Bloomberg campaign paid Doug and his firm upwards of US$10 million to develop an intensive post-9/11 psychological portrait of city voters based not on political party lines or such traditional hot buttons as race, culture or ideology, but on a unified paradigm of shared everyday interests and concerns. This profile is perhaps the most insightful portrait of the driving issues and values of the city’s community that has ever been done.

oFF-site: Hudson river park by biketuesday, 12 september 1:15-5:45pm

The brand new Hudson River Park is a spectacular case of New York again reinventing itself, making a bold US$330 million bet over the past six years to reclaim five miles of gritty and decaying urban blight as a glorious waterside park. The park stretches from artsy Chelsea through the now chic Meatpacking District, beside the charming West Village and past Tribeca all the way down to the tip of Wall Street. A wide, straight and flat bike path runs the length of the park, giving bicycle riders of all levels an easy ride and a terrific way to experience the entirety of this great treasure. The desire to be near this park has a significant impact on the attraction of downtown living, opening up areas for development that previously sat forgotten.

The park is a place of open sky, green shorelines and even blue water – the law establishing the park also designated the Hudson River as an estuarine sanctuary. You’ll be able to experience the park’s signature attractions, the 13 rebuilt piers that stretch out as much as 1,000 feet into the river, a legacy from the days when transatlantic steamships traveled to the New York harbor. The piers are islands of repose in the midst of our tumultuous city, and allow visitors to leave the urban pace behind and be surrounded by the river. Since work on the park began, it has given New Yorkers the chance to be closer to the water that surrounds us, a physical reminder that we are island people.

Approximate biking time is 3.5 hours.

oFF-site: “inside the boardroom” at steinway piano (A Ceo exclusive)wednesday, 13 september 12:45-4:30pm

This exclusive off-site blends a unique inside look at Steinway Piano with the expertise of Harvard Business School resource, Professor Emeritus Ben Shapiro.

Since 1853, Steinway has been the world’s premier piano manufacturer. As the guests of its chief executive officer, Bruce A. Stevens, we’ll see firsthand the careful blend of highly skilled craftsmanship and virtuoso artistry that combine to create

these legendary instruments. After Ben has spoken during this morning’s education session on the topic of “Attain, Sustain and Market Leadership,” describing how market leaders continue to maintain their leadership positions over extended periods, he’ll accompany the group to Steinway. Following the tour we’ll be in the Steinway boardroom with Ben and Bruce talking about how Steinway has led its market for over a century. It’s like taking the case study experience out of the classroom and into the company. For those of you who like to blend hands-on business access with “serious” Harvard-style learning, this is an exceptional opportunity.

oFF-site: riker’s island prison tour with warden peter Curciowednesday, 13 september 1:45-5:30pm

A complex and fascinating place, Riker’s Island is the world’s largest penal colony. Its on-site social systems include its schools, a hospital, even its own power plant. It is located in close view of Manhattan, yet most New Yorkers wouldn’t be able to find it on a map. This is a place that regularly performs a chilling slight of hand to make people disappear — it keeps in those who want to get out, and keeps out those who want to get in. With CEO, this is your chance to cross Riker’s Island Bridge, enter the jails and safely get out. You’ll see a place that was only a few years ago one of the most violent places on the planet, and has now transformed into one of the safest. A visit to Riker’s Island will challenge your assumptions about our culture and cause you to revisit views that until now you’ve taken for granted. As guests of Warden Peter Curcio, you’ll see prisoners and be exposed to how the prison functions, and meet with the Warden and prison guards to learn about the jail from various points of view. We guarantee an experience that will stimulate you in ways that you can only appreciate after seeing it firsthand.

oFF-site: Horseback riding in Central park with Claremont stableswednesday, 13 september 3:00-5:00pm

Clarement Stables, since 1892 New York’s premier riding academy, offers experienced riders, with at least intermediate level English riding ability, the chance to traverse the quiet and well-maintained bridle paths of Central Park, surrounded by grass and trees, but just a glance from the towering skyline of iconic skyscrapers.

The Clarement Stables are a special attraction themselves. Built in 1892 and a National Historical Site, they’re in an unusual multi-story barn that houses its horses in individual stalls in the basement and on the second floor. Ramps lead to these spaces, so that riders can access their horse easily. The stables are a block and a half away from the Park, so getting there starts by riding your horse with commuter traffic on Manhattan streets. Don’t worry, the horses are used to it and the chance to ride in this setting is something you could easily get used to as well.

Riding time is one hour.

Pricing: US$200Walking Level: MinimalAttire: Jeans and boots

oFF-site: immigrant Dreams and Urban reality the Lower east sidethursday, 14 september 12:45-5:30pm

The center of the melting pot for US immigrants from the mid-1850s through the early 20th century was in the closely packed streets of the lower east side. In 1900, this was reported to be the most densely populated area on the planet. There were more Germans, Irish and Italians in these few blocks than anywhere other than their own countries. They, together with a large immigrant community of Eastern European Jews and Chinese, lived crammed into small tenement buildings, packed 10 or more to a room, often without running water. In the heart of this district we’ll visit the Tenement Museum, a period tenement building from the late 1800s, filled with artifacts from the daily life of the immigrants of this period and designated as a National Historic Site.

After seeing what tenement life looked like historically, we’ll take a walking tour of the area to experience its dynamism first hand. Not a period piece or a stage set, the lower east side is currently a hot bed of new, and frequently very expensive, real estate development activity. It’s a great irony of Manhattan real estate that impoverished immigrants endured the hardships and deprivations of the tenements so that their children could have a better life in the green, leafy suburbs outside the city and raise

their own children to have kids who are now moving back to freshly renovated Lower East Side tenements to live luxuriously in the very places that once housed their ancestors in squalor. A neighborhood still true to its ethnic roots even while caught in the crossfire of tradition and gentrification, we’ll celebrate this rich gumbo of diverse ethnic cultures with stops for traditional ethnic street food, like egg rolls in Chinatown, canole next door in Little Italy and kosher knishes on Delancy Street.

oFF-site: shopping in the meat packing District thursday, 14 september 1:45-5:30pm

Where do you go to shop? Between the Hudson River and the charming West Village is the industrial grit of the Meatpacking District, an area that is still home to New York’s wholesale meat purveyors. But in between the sides of beef are the haunts of stylish urbanites from around the world, the area’s renowned cutting edge shops, restaurants and hipster hangouts. Local CEOers are preparing a special Baedaker for this event, your own travel guide to the Meatpacking District. Some of the featured shopping venues are Stella McCartney’s eponymous boutique, famous for beautifully tailored suits; The Jean Shop – the name says it all; Ten Thousand Things, known as Julia Roberts’ beloved jewelry shop, and the fashionista’s temple of style, Jeffery New York, a mini-department store of carefully edited fashion must-haves.

After an adventurous afternoon of shopping, we’ll gather at the very special Flower Bar in Banchette & Bianca Flowers, perhaps the only club within a flower shop. We’ll learn why it is rated the city’s top florist when the gracious and charming Banchette treats us to a presentation on her floral design, which will be accompanied by champagne and time left over to show off our latest purchases.


oFF-site: A self-portrait of the Artist: Jeffrey koons at His studiothursday, 14 september 2:00-4:00pm

Jeff Koons is a staple of the New York artist scene. His pieces have been exhibited throughout the world, including prominent local displays at the Guggenheim, the Museum of Modern Art and the Whitney Museum. He’s also known for his public sculptures, such as Puppy, shown at Rockefeller Center in the Summer of 2000, Balloon Flower, installed in Potsdamer Platz in Berlin as part of Daimler Chrysler’s permanent collection, and Split-Rocker, a piece on display at the Papal Palace in Avignon, France. His controversial art has been turning heads for over two decades, all the while causing collectors to open their checkbooks and currently pay well in excess of US$5 million for major works. This is a special opportunity to be Jeff’s guest at his studio, where he’ll show the pieces on which he’s working and share thoughts about the process of creating these artistic statements and about his life as an artist.

See Manhattan by kayak. It can be easy to forget that Manhattan is an island, unless you’ve seen it from a seat in a kayak.

We’ll paddle with the currents and using two person boats it’s not a difficult trip. A singular opportunity to see New York as you’ve never seen it before. It’s good exercise, good fun and a great experience.
