About Event

SLUG is organizing an international event together with LocLunch™ Seattle and Vancouver (details below).

SLUG is proud to present one of the most dynamic forces in the Seattle Localization community: Mark Shriner, Co-Founder and CEO of Breeze Docs.

The Pursuit of Excellence: Building High-Performance Habits at Work and Home

What separates high performers from everyone else usually isn’t talent—it’s the small, consistent habits they build over time.

The mistake that many of us make is that we rely solely upon discipline to maintain our good habits and eliminate our bad ones. Thus, we are forced to fight countless mental battles every day while trying to align our actions with our goals. These battles, especially when tired or stressed, rapidly deplete our discipline reserves, and make it difficult to act in accordance with our goals.

In this discussion, we’ll talk about simple, practical ways to stack the cards in our favor to reinforce good habits and eliminate bad ones. We will also look the importance of energy, the role it plays in reinforcing effective habits, and how we can conserve and continually increase our personal energy.

Hello Everyone,

We are creating a very special event that we believe is a world first, as we will have a LocLunch™ event between the communities of Seattle and Vancouver, at a neutral location in Peace Arch Park.

We will have presenters from both communities and there will be ample time to network and exchange ideas.

Please enroll so that we can contact you regarding catering options. Also, there might be a cost associated with the event, in addition to catering as we had to secure a meeting room, but cost will be reasonable.

Attendees can park on either side of the border and do not need to cross the border, avoiding both traffic delays and bureaucratic issues.

USA visitors, the park entrance is accessible via either north or southbound Exit 276 on I5.
Address: 19 A Street, Blaine, WA 98230, USA

Canadian visitors can access the park entrance by taking southbound Hwy 99 West onto Beach.

Address: 138 Peace Park Dr, Surrey, BC V3S 9N8, Canada

Hope to see you there,
Dhani, Sako, Elizabeth, Jorge (LocLunch™ Seattle) & Alejandra (LocLunch™ Vancouver)
