Has your business boomed during the pandemic, or flat-lined? If you haven’t seen your business grow, it’s time to turn the volatility of our time into an offensive weapon and seize the opportunity you’ve been presented with.
If you are ready to learn why being “just a speaker” is woefully insufficient, how to thrive, and hear predictions for the future of our profession, join us for our February 12 chapter event with Alan Weiss.
During the morning session of this chapter event, Alan will discuss:
- Why volatility and disruption should be offensive weapons
- Why being a “speaker” is woefully insufficient
- How to thrive and seal the “watertight doors”
- Why any strategy looking beyond a year is simply guessing
- You can always make another dollar, but you can’t make another minute
- Predictions for the future of our “profession”
