ANNUAL CONFERENCE RECAP | 2018 Coffee and Conversation in the Exposition Hall: Expanding Possibilities The topic on everyone’s mind is the future of senior housing and how to react to looming changes. In the session, Coffee & Conversation with Frank Battisti, attendees got to listen and discuss the future of senior housing while hearing about tools and innovative ways for organizations to set lucrative and realistic goals for the future. The session focused on steps and tactics for creating a successful future and how that directly aligns with the future of senior housing. Attendee’s learned and discussed variables in their past, present and future that could help everyone achieve expectations and goals for the future. Participants learned about the anticipatory and positive principles. The anticipatory principle is based on the concept that we move in the experience of our actions, while the positive principle is based on the concept that the more positive surrounding us the greater probability of a positive reaction. Frank Battisti used a visual example with two volunteers from the audience to demonstrate the power of positivity and how it can greatly affect your actions and others around you. 27 Adviser a publication of LeadingAge New York | Summer 2018 Frank Battisti
