Learn how to overcome the constant barrage of bad economic news that creates disengagement that undermines your employees' resolve to succeed. Get the tools you need to change "don't make waves" into "take intelligent risks" and "do nothing wrong" into "do something right" so that you turn negativity into enthusiasm.
All participants are aksed to pre-register by calling 989-732-6333. We expect to sell out quickly as we can only take the first 50 participants who sign up. The cost is $20 for Chamber Members and $25 for non-members.
