<DIV>10:30 am PLATFORM "Letting Go" Fritz Williams, BES Leader <BR>We say it often. Wistfully. Regretfully. “If only I knew how to let go.” We realize that we’re trying to exercise control over our lives and circumstances in ways that are futile and counter-productive. Yet, we speak of letting go without giving much thought to what it is we’re proposing to let go of. Or how we are going to reconcile letting go with having strong personal values, standards, and aspirations. Fritz Williams tries to get a grip on letting go.<BR></DIV>
<DIV>
