Description:

 Family and privately held businesses are uniquely advantaged when it comes to capturing opportunities in the fast paced, dynamic marketplaces of today. However, lacking the appropriate leadership or leadership qualities in key individuals, those opportunities can expire or be lost to better positioned competitors. It is essential for the emerging business leader to tackle the challenges of operating their enterprises and utilize their inherent leadership capabilities to sustain business success.

What you and your business will take away from attending this forum:

  • Understanding the critical need to confront reality when defining your own personal success or business success;
  • Examination of the tools necessary for defining success individually with particular attention to developing a personal mission statement as a critical self-assessment tool;
  • Using constant re-invention combined with an acute business savvy to continually update and determine your own success.

    Notice to Trainees

    WHY WE NEED YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER
    Act 192 of the 2008 Vermont Legislature requires employers and other training providers receiving support from the state to provide the social security number of each individual participating in the training to the department of state government supporting the training. The social security number will be used to gather wage information from the Department of Labor's files after you complete training, in order to evaluate the training program.

    The Departments of Labor and Economic Development must provide information on the employment outcomes of training programs to the Legislature. Your information will be combined with information of other trainees to ensure your privacy and the privacy of your employer. The law requires the departments to keep your information confidential.
