2:45 to 4:15 p.m. Oh No! Not More of That Fluffy Stuff Rich Bluni, RNRich Bluni’s Oh No! Not More of That Fluffy Stuff takes head on those things that sometime get in the way of us feeling inspired at work. Sometimes we need to connect to our “why”, some people might call that “fluffy stuff” but many of us look at that as the essential things we need to do to feel connected to our work.

Through stories, laughter and a few “how to’s” that you can take home and use you’ll learn how the fluffy stuff might just be what you need.
