SUMMARY:The Business Owners' Boardroom (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:Change Happens\, So Take Control.  Learn how to address your most pressing issues that may present themselves at any moment. \nThis is a business owners’ series on how to stay ahead in a rapidly changing world.  Rapidly changing market conditions force companies to quickly update traditional day-to-day operations. In today’s environment\, you have to be fast and nimble in order to seize opportunities\, rise above challenges and respond to changing times. \nJoin us for this monthly series where you will learn new ideas\, share your experiences\, and meet other business owners\, just like you\, focused on staying competitive\, increasing revenue and enjoying the journey. \nAs a part of your attendance\, all participants receive a complimentary business diagnostic that will help you prioritize your most challenging problems and leverage opportunities. \n  \nOctober Topic: Time IS Money!  Are you wasting time being “busy” or are you getting the best return on your time? \n  \nOne of the most universal challenges for business owners is that of time management.  As business owners we wear many hats\, working both as the visionary leader and frontline employee playing many role.  As the owner of your time\, you’re in charge of managing how you spend every single moment.  The decision you make as to where to focus your time is critical to the overall health of your business. \nOne key theme from business owners surveyed is that most business owners are spending less time working on their businesses (doing strategic planning\, marketing\, and other leadership responsibilities) than they are working inside their businesses (performing repetitive administrative or customer-oriented tasks that could be delegated to another employee or outsourced).  While the later tasks often feel the most urgent\, it is the former strategic responsibilities that are most critical to a healthy\, forward-moving organization. \nIn our TAB Business Owners survey\, we found that there is a gap between how most business owners spend and perceive their time and how they believe they should be spending it.  These business owners are largely unsatisfied with how they are spending their time. \nAt this session of the Business Owners’ Boardroom\, we will be honestly reviewing how we are spending our time and committing to new ways we can spend it that brings out the highest value for the time we have and the best in our business. \nNow you may say “I’m busy\, I don’t have time to attend this session\,” and that is a pretty common response amongst struggling business owners.  My response to this is that you can’t afford not to attend.  “Busy” is really just a state of mind.  That is the difference between highly effective business owners and those who are constantly stressed and overwhelmed.  Both have 24 hours in the day.  Great business owners get more accomplished and will rarely tell you that they are “really busy” when asked.  Conversely\, unsuccessful owners are addicted to busy-ness and are typically overwhelmed and stressed. \nSo take control of your time and sign up for this virtual session on October 28th at 2 PM EST. \n  \nOur Facilitator: \n \nKimberle Seale \nKim is a success coach focused on creating a lasting legacy of wealth\, health\, and happiness for professionals and business owners.  She is an experienced and credentialed coach\, has won multiple leadership awards\, an author\, and a patent inventor for a product developed for Uber. Kim has achieved some amazing and transformative results with her clients and in her past as a corporate executive before she started her own practice three years ago.  What is inspiring and unique about her approach is the level of motivation and passion she brings out of her clients and their employees\, including those that had not been performing at their best. \n

SUMMARY:Critical Sales Habits
DESCRIPTION:October Topic: Tips to build confidence and destroy fear in professional selling. \nLet’s address the elephant in the room.  Sales can be nerve-racking and anxiety-inducing.  I said it. \nBig important presentations\, quotas to hit\, lack of qualified leads\, hearing the word “no” too often and the pressure to constantly find new prospects can lead to stress triggers that salespeople rarely talk about with others.  In some cases\, this high-stress environment can boil over causing a full-blown panic attack. \nIn this session\, we’ll discuss ways to curb the anxiety and even embrace the challenges.  We’ll talk about how to stay calm amidst the daily rejection we all face\, manage sales call reluctance\, and create an environment where we can consistently produce without fear and second-guessing our abilities. \nJoin us in the discussion.  You’ll be glad you did! \n  \n  \nOur Facilitator: \n \nDenny Ward \nWith a deep passion for solving problems\, Denny has been in the human capital management space for 13 years. \nHe now leads the charge at Velocity Sales Consulting. Denny strives to help organizations unpack the cause of sales team challenges so they can maximize team performance and be more intentional about engaging their people and improving processes. \nDenny has a Bachelor of Arts in Communications from Bowling Green State University\, where he majored in communications with a focus in business.

After cutting his teeth in sales\, Denny enjoyed a successful 12-year career at ADP in several leadership and business development roles. There he worked with companies of all sizes to help them solve organizational and associate challenges. \nIn 2014 he became a licensed Benefits Consultant and helped Indiana companies with their insurance and compliance goals.  His ability to help his clients reach their goals\, as well as provide impeccable service and follow up earned him many referrals and new clients.

SUMMARY:The Business Owners’ Boardroom
DESCRIPTION:Change Happens\, So Take Control.  Learn how to address your most pressing issues that may present themselves at any moment. \nThis is a business owners’ series on how to stay ahead in a rapidly changing world.  Rapidly changing market conditions force companies to quickly update traditional day-to-day operations. In today’s environment\, you have to be fast and nimble in order to seize opportunities\, rise above challenges and respond to changing times. \nJoin us for this monthly series where you will learn new ideas\, share your experiences\, and meet other business owners\, just like you\, focused on staying competitive\, increasing revenue and enjoying the journey. \nAs a part of your attendance\, all participants receive a complimentary business diagnostic that will help you prioritize your most challenging problems and leverage opportunities. \n  \nOctober Topic: Time IS Money!  Are you wasting time being “busy” or are you getting the best return on your time? \n  \nOne of the most universal challenges for business owners is that of time management.  As business owners we wear many hats\, working both as the visionary leader and frontline employee playing many role.  As the owner of your time\, you’re in charge of managing how you spend every single moment.  The decision you make as to where to focus your time is critical to the overall health of your business. \nOne key theme from business owners surveyed is that most business owners are spending less time working on their businesses (doing strategic planning\, marketing\, and other leadership responsibilities) than they are working inside their businesses (performing repetitive administrative or customer-oriented tasks that could be delegated to another employee or outsourced).  While the later tasks often feel the most urgent\, it is the former strategic responsibilities that are most critical to a healthy\, forward-moving organization. \nIn our TAB Business Owners survey\, we found that there is a gap between how most business owners spend and perceive their time and how they believe they should be spending it.  These business owners are largely unsatisfied with how they are spending their time. \nAt this session of the Business Owners’ Boardroom\, we will be honestly reviewing how we are spending our time and committing to new ways we can spend it that brings out the highest value for the time we have and the best in our business. \nNow you may say “I’m busy\, I don’t have time to attend this session\,” and that is a pretty common response amongst struggling business owners.  My response to this is that you can’t afford not to attend.  “Busy” is really just a state of mind.  That is the difference between highly effective business owners and those who are constantly stressed and overwhelmed.  Both have 24 hours in the day.  Great business owners get more accomplished and will rarely tell you that they are “really busy” when asked.  Conversely\, unsuccessful owners are addicted to busy-ness and are typically overwhelmed and stressed. \nSo take control of your time and sign up for our next session on October 7th at 8:30 AM EST. \n  \nOur Facilitator: \n \nKimberle Seale \nKim is a success coach focused on creating a lasting legacy of wealth\, health\, and happiness for professionals and business owners.  She is an experienced and credentialed coach\, has won multiple leadership awards\, an author\, and a patent inventor for a product developed for Uber. Kim has achieved some amazing and transformative results with her clients and in her past as a corporate executive before she started her own practice three years ago.  What is inspiring and unique about her approach is the level of motivation and passion she brings out of her clients and their employees\, including those that had not been performing at their best. \n  \nTHANK YOU to Our Host: \n \nConveniently located near downtown Indianapolis\, the Broadmoor Country Club truly offers something for everyone through an extensive array of programming and amenities for members of all ages. Golf aficionados will love the beautifully-preserved Donald Ross designed course\, while golfers and non-golfers alike can enjoy the myriad dining\, recreation\, social activities and amenities the club has to offer. \nCall to visit Broadmoor Country Club today.
