If you're anything like me, the answer is a resounding 'no'.

However, waiting is often unavoidable and even beneficial...

What if, instead of frustration, your waiting brought about transformation?

Last month we talked about the science of finding your purpose in life.  In case you missed it, we covered four common steps to get unstuck and build momentum.

This month we will explore how patience and waiting are actually part of God’s plan in helping you find your purpose in life.

Join Doug Piper and Lloyd Reeb for this 30-minute webinar as they unpack this missing piece with HT Alum, Mike Shields.  Mike is 15 years into his second half calling and having the time of his life.

But there were years when he needed patience. What he knows now may be a significant help to you on your journey.

For those who can stay on, there will be an interactive Q&A for an additional 20-30 minutes.

Mike Shields is President and CEO of Piedmont Trust Company.  He guides strategic direction and oversees all functional areas of the firm and serves on Piedmont’s Board.  He earned a B.A. from UNC Charlotte, an M.B.A. from UNC Chapel Hill, and holds a Chartered Financial Analyst designation from the CFA Institute.  He began his career at NationsBank (now Bank of America) in Charlotte. After 10 years there, he joined Scudder, Stevens & Clark in New York as an equity portfolio manager in 1992.  He subsequently joined Campbell, Cowperthwait, an investment boutique owned by U.S. Trust Corporation, where he was promoted to President and CEO and chaired Campbell’s Investment Policy Committee.  In 2003, Mike returned to North Carolina where he continued his career in the wealth management industry.

Mike has over three decades of experience in the financial services industry with the last ten years primarily working with people serious about investing wisely, living with purpose, and finishing well. He has a diverse investment background, including significant Wall Street executive experience, that has led to a skill set with which he helps others gain clarity regarding their life goals, then implement strategies to pursue lives of enduring impact. He had the privilege of working for the Halftime organization in 2003-2004 during which he helped launch the Halftime Institute with Lloyd Reeb and their mentor Bob Buford.

Mike has served on numerous boards and is currently a Director and Chairman of the UNC Charlotte Investment Fund, Director and Trustee of the Royce Funds in New York, and on the UNC Charlotte Foundation and Endowment Boards.  He is also Chairman of the Halftime Carolinas Board.  Mike and his wife, Marion, live in Charlotte and have three children.

Doug Piper is an alumni of the Halftime Institute - he completed a Halftime Roundtable six years ago. After a successful marketing, designing, and manufacturing career, he is researching the creation and appreciation of fine craft beverages and foods.

Today he splits his time between Halftime LifeStream/Podcasts and consulting to the food and beverage market as the Founder and Host of Gourmet Brewing LLC. He's a Certified BJCP Beer and Mead Judge and Cicerone. Fueled by passion, Doug understands the nuances of food and drink flavors. He is a “forever student,” eager to build an academic foundation. He brings a fresh perspective to the fine food and beverage market with simple yet scientific accuracy. His folksy manner is a welcome change from the typical journalist.
