_____________________

Our speaker workshops enable members to connect and gain insights from authors, content experts from around the country. SPEAKER WORKSHOPS are in the morning and last up to 3 hours with a group size of less than 20. My personal goal is that each attendee takes away one idea that is thought provoking.

My coaching clients share four traits:

  • They need to change.
  • They are wise enough to want to change.
  • They are energetic enough to change.
  • They want to be the best human being they can be.

Member and Guest goal

Walking away with at least one nugget will change the way you think, change your behavior for the better or change the way you do business. We will make you a better leader, making better decisions and increase your profitability and life balance.
