SUMMARY:Planning for the Day You Leave Your Business: Leadership for What Comes Next
DESCRIPTION:You started and nurtured your business into what it’s become today. The journey\, whether measured over several years or a lifetime\, has had its share of ups and downs. Sweat equity is something experienced first-hand and can be measured.\n\nMany owners work “in” versus “on” their business. They seldom take the time to step back and examine their business as an outsider. Have you contemplated what comes next? How should you lead the organization so that the business thrives and your legacy\, however defined\, continues?\n\n“Nothing is certain but death and taxes” is an adage we’ve all heard. But business owners can add a third certainty: you will leave your business one day. Join us on June 1st at 8:00am and learn about a framework to prepare for that inevitable day so that you can leave on your terms: when you want\, for the money you need\, to the people you know and trust.

Series 1 will be held on Wednesday\, August 24th\, September 7th\, September 21st & October 5th. Series 2 will start October 19th and Series 3 will start up in 2023. \nSession 1: Leader’s Right Mindset (August 24\, 2022) \nMany people believe that being the owner\, boss or holding some sort of management position is what defines leadership. Paramount Business Development\, Inc. KNOWS this is totally false. True leadership is hard\, and it is not something that can be achieved overnight.

When a company can communicate correctly\, employees can experience an increase in morale\, productivity\, and commitment. How well do you communicate with your team? More importantly\, how often do you communicate with your team? Join us as we discuss real life examples of communication problems in companies and how you can better lead your team to success. \n  \nSession 3: When Things Go Awry?! (September 21\, 2022) \nWe’ve discussed how crucial workplace communication is to a company\, but what happens when things go wrong? Not all problems can be anticipated or resolved. People are complicated and there’s no owner’s manuals. This workshop will review communication strategies\, discuss real life conflicts within organizations\, and present several effective strategies to handle those conflicts. \n  \nSession 4: Managing Overwhelm (October 5\, 2022) \nAre you feeling pressured by deadlines?  Is there never enough time in the day?  Are you working longer and longer hours\, while getting further behind?

SUMMARY:The Future of Talent Attraction—What Matters to Tomorrow’s Workforce Matters Today
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a conversation about talent.  Because when you have the right talent fit\, you experience increased profitability\, performance and productivity—the three essentials for any successful business.  Attracting that kind of talent requires taking a close look at company culture\, recruiting strategies and hiring processes. \nEvery successful business knows it’s only as good as its employees\, and currently\, it’s a candidate’s market. This means that top talent has their choice of employers. Therefore\, it becomes fundamental for companies to enhance and maintain their employer brand to not only attract top talent\, but to send the continuous message to potential candidates—and current employees alike\, that the engagement drivers that employees need most are top-of-mind in their work culture. \nWe’ll learn: \n–the steps to talent attraction \nToday’s best prospects are focused on what businesses have to offer them – and it’s more than a paycheck. They want to know your company culture\, values and mission. They’re shopping benefits. They’re seeking fulfilling careers with businesses that are in tune with their needs.  \n–the recruiting experience  \nYou want the recruiting experience to be a good one. Even if it doesn’t work out for a job candidate\, the recruiting experience can still be a good one. And that person can affect how others view your company.  \n–and\, how the pandemic has impacted the future of work and employee expectations \nThe startling COVID19 changes has not only changed how work is currently being conducted\, but also how it will continue to operate in the future. It didn’t just show us that we can easily work from home\, but it will completely change the future of work in a variety of ways. \nSeminar Hosted by ABC Member Insperity. \nMichael is a Human Resource Consultant with Insperity.
