Have you signed up for this month's Path to Leadership Series at De Pere at Dawn yet? If you haven't you should! It is next Wednesday at 7:30am and the topic this month is a very interesting one! Are you a business owner or manager with promising staff?  Many business owners and managers give little thought to staff education. They do not think it is part of their role, or if they do, they never have time to get around to it or have a "large enough" budget for it.  If you have not given staff development much thought or think it does not affect your practice or patients, this morning session is for you. You have an important role in staff development: establishing its priority, encouraging it by example, and supporting it in your attitude and budget. The truth is that if staff education and development are not a priority for the owners and managers, they will not be a priority for anyone under them. You can sign up for De Pere at Dawn below or you can go ahead and register right here!

We hope to see you there!!

 

Have a wonderful week!
