    Don't let the economy get you down. Don't let the economy prevent you from continuing to invest in your people. Be ready when the economy turns around. Have your people ready to serve your clients at the highest level.

    Now is the time to invest in your senior leaders as well. We are looking for 7-8 companies to register two senior leaders and/or high potential managers to attend the Advanced Business Leader Experience (ABLE).

    A testimonial from a recent graduate who was a former manager at General Motors: "I've attend probably 30 management development courses in my career but none of them compare to what I learned this week".

    This 5 1/2 day workshop will be held in the Fall, September or October in Gatlinburg TN. You can read about it in the first article of this newsletter. Call us to discuss the benefits of attending this workshop.
