Who Should Attend?
Business Owners and Executives who:
– Want to grow/scale in the next year
– Work ‘on’ the business, not ‘in’ the business
– Are experiencing growing pains
– Are just starting out and want to best prepare themselves for success
Modern leadership calls for motivation, skill, influence, resilience and innovative thinking.
But up to 80% of new leaders are not accomplished in two or more of these qualities and feel ill-prepared for the demands of their role*.
Don’t be the 80%. Companies that focus on development can strengthen their ability to weather challenging circumstances and consistently perform better across key industry benchmarks*.
