Road 2 Success SPOT ON Discussions Return
SNAG's Road 2 Success program assembles a panel of experts each month for an online discussion on a specific business topic, we call it SPOT ON. This month, SPOT ON takes a look at ways that people in our community refresh themselves, their practice and their work by using their summers as a time of rejuvenation and inspiration to boost their creativity and to hit that reset button in time for the coming year. Over the coming weeks, we will be posting individual responses to the question: "What are you doing this summer to feed/fuel your creativity and inspire your work?" in hopes of inspiring YOU to share your stories and ideas...or to ignite some ideas before the last few weeks of summer slip through our fingers. Keep your eyes open for our first posting from SNAG President-Elect, Nicole Jacquard, to find out what inspired her this summer. If you'd like to join in the conversation go to the Signup Form and we'll get you into the forum as soon as possible. You can be a part of where the conversation goes next! |
