Description:

 Stephen Covey’s “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People” has helped millions of people dramatically improve their lives and careers. The original seven habits of highly successful people are still quite pertinent; however the 8th habit, "Find your voice and inspire others to find theirs" is particularly relevant for today’s business leaders and tomorrow’s generation of entrepreneurs and owners. This breakfast discussion will feature a review of habits 1-7 followed by an introduction to the 8th Habit as well as why it is relevant for today’s business leaders and family businesses. Each attendee will explore a personal application of the 8 Habits and will have an opportunity to help shape the agenda for the coming year in the Next Generation Group. This discussion will be facilitated by Tim Lybarger.

    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.
