Andrew Bernstein is the founder of Resilience 101, a provocative
training program that teaches people a completely new way to
understand and eliminate stress. After facing a series of unexpected
life challenges at a young age, Bernstein spent his 20s and early 30s
studying self-help on his own. A New Yorker trained in critical
thinking at Johns Hopkins, he felt that traditional approaches to
self-help were either too “New Agey” or too clinical. He also
discovered that our traditional understanding of stress was based on
a fundamental misconception. Integrating his experiences with many
different tools such as cognitive therapy and a technique called The
Work of Byron Katie, Bernstein created a new process that quickly
helped even skeptical participants have profound breakthroughs. He
was featured in Oprah’s O magazine, then turned his sights on the
corporate world.
Bernstein has now taught the dynamics of real resilience at Merrill
Lynch, Morgan Stanley, Viacom, Genentech and other leading
companies committed to employee well being and productivity.
He also shares his program pro bono at non-profits like Phoenix
House, the Hole in the Wall Gang camp and City Year. Bernstein
speaks not as a therapist or guru, but as someone who experienced
challenges in life and has created an intelligent and effective way to
truly resolve them. He lives in New York City and is currently at
work on a book about the real nature of stress and resilience.

Michael R. Bloomberg is the 108th Mayor of New York City. Mayor
Bloomberg’s thirst for information and fascination with technology
was evident at an early age, and led him to Johns Hopkins University,
where he parked cars and took out loans to finance his education.
After his college graduation, he gained an MBA from Harvard and
worked on Wall Street for Salomon Brothers.
He quickly advanced through the ranks and became a partner
in 1972. He was fired in 1981 after another company acquired
Salomon. Mr. Bloomberg used his stake from the Salomon sale
to start his own company, an endeavor that would revolutionize
the way that Wall Street does business. He created a financial
information computer that would collect and analyze different
combinations of past and present securities data and deliver it
immediately to the user.
In 1982, Bloomberg L.P. sold 20 subscriptions to its service; 20 years
later, Bloomberg LP has over 165,000 subscribers worldwide. As
the business proved its viability, the company branched out and in
1990 entered the media business, launching a news service, and
then radio, television, Internet and publishing operations.
As the company enjoyed tremendous growth, he dedicated more
of his time and energy to philanthropy and civic affairs. His desire to
improve education, advance medical research and increase access to
the arts, has provided the motivation for much of his philanthropy.

It is important, as Jean Cocteau once said, not to confuse
seriousness with gravity. Jamie Drake, the New York-based
designer, doesn’t. The man behind some of the country’s most
dynamic, distinctive and livable interiors knows how to create
delightful environments and craft décor that is as right for a
particular place as it is for the person or family occupying it.
Equally comfortable in traditional and contemporary styles, he has
a natural gift for making modern interiors inviting, and enlivening
traditional spaces with a fresh mix of contemporary elements.
Drake’s device of choice is color — used boldly, fearlessly, and
with great flair. Says, Drake, “there is little that doesn’t inspire me.”
Drake’s notable residential interiors include a Los Angeles
showplace for Madonna, a Martha’s Vineyard vacation retreat,
and a stunning Manhattan apartment for Phyllis and Victor Grann.
Drake has also completed multiple projects for New York City
Mayor Michael Bloomberg — a client for almost 20 years —
including the recent renovation and restoration of Gracie Mansion,
the longtime ceremonial residence of the Mayor of New York
and the redesign of various rooms at City Hall. Drake designed
rooms for The Hampton Design Show House at Villa Maria and
the French Design Show House, among others. His work has
been widely published in leading journals, including Architectural
Digest, Elle Decor, and House Beautiful. Drake has also appeared on
Bloomberg TV, CNN’s “Style with Elsa Klensch” and HGTV.

Yvette Rugasaguhunga was born in 1980 in Kigali, Rwanda. The
eighth child, her birth was welcomed by her very large and caring
Roman Catholic family. On her first day of elementary school,
Yvette was asked her ethnic group. When she said she did not
know, this became her first homework assignment. The following
day she reported that she was a Tutsi. It was not until later that
she understood the true meaning of her ethnicity.
Yvette graduated from elementary school and in 1993 was the
first in her family to be admitted to a public high school. By then,
the open discrimination against Tutsi was rampant, and many Tutsi
were being killed or incarcerated without justice.
In 1994, Tutsi lived amidst genocide in a hundred days of horror
beyond bearing murder, abduction and rape. More than one
million Tutsi were murdered in 100 days and survivors lived in
fear, hopelessness and despair. After Yvette almost witnessed
the brutal death of her father, she watched in vain as her older
brother, Rambert was slaughtered. His valiant fight for survival
gave her the strength to fight for her own life. She ultimately
graduated from high school and went on to college. In 2004, she
left Rwanda for the USA. After realizing there are many who still
deny that genocide occurred in Rwanda, she has dedicated her life
to speaking out. Yvette now lives in New York and is a junior at
Manhattanville College.

Eliot Spitzer took the office of New York State Attorney General
in 1999 and through a series of innovative actions has redefined
the role of Attorney General. He investigated conflicts of interest
by investment banks, illegal trading practices by mutual funds and
bid rigging in the insurance industry. He has recovered billions
of dollars for small investors and other consumers in these cases
and was the catalyst for industry-wide reforms. Attorney General
Spitzer has acted to stop fraud in the marketplace, to level the
playing field for honest businesses and to help restore confidence
in the markets. As a result of these and other actions, he was
named “Crusader of the Year” by Time magazine and the “Sheriff
of Wall Street” by “60 Minutes.” The title that most accurately
reflects his role is “the People’s Lawyer.” The cases that mean the
most to him are his pioneering labor rights cases to ensure the
minimum wage and decent workings conditions for immigrants
and other low-wage workers in service industries.
He began his career as a clerk to US District Court Judge Robert
W. Sweet and later served as an Assistant District Attorney in
Manhattan. He also spent time in private practice with Paul Weiss,
Rifkind, Wharton and Garrison; Skadden Arps, Slate, Meagher and
Flom; and Constantine & Partners. He is a graduate of Princeton
University and Harvard Law School, where he was an editor of
the Harvard Law Review.

Stadium is a place of lore and legend. Stand on the field where
baseball immortals Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio and
Mickey Mantle played and you’ll channel the energies of current
stars like Derek Jeter, Jason Giambi and Bernie Williams. Sit in
the dugout where so many Yankee managers (sometimes the
same guy hired, fired and rehired!) set the team lineup. And visit
the most legendary area in professional sports, the Stadium’s
Monument Park, deep in left-center field, where retired numbers,
plaques and monuments attest to the champions who have driven
the Bronx Bombers to their record 26 championships. You’ll be
steeped in the mystique and aura of this superlative team and the
men in pinstripes who regularly wrote and rewrote the record
books on sports excellence. We’ll ride the subway there (if you
haven’t been on a New York City subway recently, be prepared
to be pleasantly surprised) and see what goes on behind the
scenes at the place where the fictional George Constanza from
“Seinfeld” worked, and where the very real George Steinbrenner

The setting for “Rent” is a close neighbor to the backdrop of
“Barefoot in the Park.” The Sullivan Street Theatre, home to “The
Fantasticks,” the world’s longest-running musical, is but one of
many off-Broadway playhouses in the neighborhood, including The
Public Theatre, which first showcased “A Chorus Line” and “Hair.”
Just around the corner is the site of the Fillmore East, the ’60s
hippie hangout for the music of peace and love. And together
with these artistic settings were some very tough places, including
the Five Points section, as told in the story of “Gangs of New
York” and the area on the waterfront, home of the notorious
“Westies Gang.” Hosting us for the start of our Village experience
is Jimmy Munson, proprietor of the legendary 125 year-old White
Horse Tavern, famous first for its roots as the Westies clubhouse
and later for hard-drinking literati and culture icons it attracted,
including Jack Kerouac, Norman Mailer, Andy Warhol, Anais Nin
and most famously Dylan Thomas, who died at the bar there
after 18 shots of straight whiskey. John Belushi of “Saturday Night
Live” fame spent so much time at The White Horse that on the

Gracie Mansion has been the official residence of the Mayor

Fiorella LaGuardia during World War II. This late 18th century
wood residence and the surrounding 11-acre Carl Schurz Park
commands a promontory overlooking the open mouth of the

Michael Bloomberg.

The brand new Hudson River Park is a spectacular case of New
York again reinventing itself, making a bold US$330 million bet
over the past six years to reclaim five miles of gritty and decaying
urban blight as a glorious waterside park. The park stretches from
artsy Chelsea through the now chic Meatpacking District, beside
the charming West Village and past Tribeca all the way down to
the tip of Wall Street. A wide, straight and flat bike path runs the
length of the park, giving bicycle riders of all levels an easy ride
and a terrific way to experience the entirety of this great treasure.
The desire to be near this park has a significant impact on the
attraction of downtown living, opening up areas for development
that previously sat forgotten.

The park is a place of open sky, green shorelines and even blue
water – the law establishing the park also designated the Hudson
River as an estuarine sanctuary. You’ll be able to experience the
park’s signature attractions, the 13 rebuilt piers that stretch out
as much as 1,000 feet into the river, a legacy from the days when
transatlantic steamships traveled to the New York harbor. The
piers are islands of repose in the midst of our tumultuous city, and
allow visitors to leave the urban pace behind and be surrounded
by the river. Since work on the park began, it has given New
Yorkers the chance to be closer to the water that surrounds us, a
physical reminder that we are island people.

50-percent minority and more than 75-percent Democratic. To
do this, the Bloomberg campaign paid Doug and his firm upwards
of US$10 million to develop an intensive post-9/11 psychological
portrait of city voters based not on political party lines or such
traditional hot buttons as race, culture or ideology, but on a
unified paradigm of shared everyday interests and concerns. This

The center of the melting pot for US immigrants from the
mid-1850s through the early 20th century was in the closely
packed streets of the lower east side. In 1900, this was reported
to be the most densely populated area on the planet. There
were more Germans, Irish and Italians in these few blocks than
anywhere other than their own countries. They, together with
a large immigrant community of Eastern European Jews and
Chinese, lived crammed into small tenement buildings, packed 10
or more to a room, often without running water. In the heart of
this district we’ll visit the Tenement Museum, a period tenement
building from the late 1800s, filled with artifacts from the daily
life of the immigrants of this period and designated as a National
Historic Site.
After seeing what tenement life looked like historically, we’ll
take a walking tour of the area to experience its dynamism first
hand. Not a period piece or a stage set, the lower east side is
currently a hot bed of new, and frequently very expensive, real
estate development activity. It’s a great irony of Manhattan real
estate that impoverished immigrants endured the hardships and
deprivations of the tenements so that their children could have
a better life in the green, leafy suburbs outside the city and raise

In 1987, New York investment manager Bill
Harnisch happened to be in the tiny town of
Franklin, Tennessee, checking on a company
in which his firm had an interest. At one
of the company’s public events, a local reporter asked him a few
questions about the business. The reporter, Ruth Ann Leach,
wrote about him in her Nashville newspaper column, interviewed
him on her radio talk show and tried to talk him into being a guest
on her TV show. Instead, he talked her into a date. By the time
Bill was introduced as a new member of YPO, Ruth Ann was his
fiancée. Today, Bill is the chief executive and owner of Peconic
Partners, a New York based investment firm. Bill has managed his
long-short equity hedge fund since 1990. He is the former chief
executive and chief investment officer of Forstmann Leff Associates,
which he sold for the second — and final — time in 1997.
Bill was one of the first in the country to earn the chartered
financial analyst designation. He currently serves on the board of
the Baruch College Fund and is president of the William F. Harnisch
Foundation which focuses on medical issues. He enjoys saltwater

COMMITTEE
Most of Steve’s career has been in healthcare, having consulted
with, regulated, started, operated, and sold HMOs back when
they were universally considered to be a good thing (i.e., a LONG
time ago). Steve has served on many for-profit and not-forprofit boards, generally understanding the former while admiring
the latter. In between his healthcare ventures, Steve started or
bought companies in food processing, fresh fruit farming and
cattle ranching — and a fly-fishing resort which he and Loren still
own. Some of these ventures have been successful. After one
particularly disappointing failure early in his career, Steve handbuilt
a log cabin in a roadless area deep in the Arkansas Ozarks and
lived there for a year, dramatically reducing both his overhead and
the size of his unread book stack.

Since 1978 John Kane, chief executive of

district of office, residential, hotel, entertainment and retail spaces.
His vision is now a reality that people are calling “Midtown
Raleigh” and “Raleigh’s version of Madison Avenue.”

tribes of the Hatlapa family. The business grew by acquisitions
and finally became a leading global competitor in the field of
starting air compressors, steering gears and rudders, as well as
deck machineries for commercial vessels, generating some US$150
million in annual revenue.
