Investigate • Innovate • Initiate

Click here to enroll in the two day, Chicago, workshop for work/balance and innovative problem solving. Join us for the Customer Service Workshop on Friday or the PowerPoint Presentation workshop in the morning.

Something magical happens with a LIVE workshop. It’s the experience, bonding, connection, interaction, discussion, perspectives, learning from others, making friends, sharing, and business/community building that demonstrates that you are not alone in your business issues, struggles, opportunities, and business decision making. A lot of the value from our workshops doesn’t come from your instructors but your participants.

The investment is high but the results are greater. There is a deeper, more positive impact on the results. It is for that reason that we limit the total number of participants to 24 or less. We want the inspiration and perspiration to contribute to your personal fulfillment of your desire to succeed. This next round of workshops is for three days.
