"Harness the Power of Your Inner Animal" 
  KNOW Members-Only Workshop

Join us on August 14 for a one-of-a-kind KNOW Members-Only Workshop at the Akron Zoo! Whether we like it or not, we're all different. For those we know well, it is often easy to know what may please them or set them off - but wouldn't it be great to know why people in general react the way they do? This fun and interactive workshop will help you identify your own unique characteristics as well as the unique differences of the people around you. By gaining a better understanding of others, you have the opportunity to take your relationships with them to a new level! This is also a highly effective sales and leadership tool as you begin to understand, and work well with, those who differ from you. Join us and find out about your animal personality and how it relates with the personalities of others. Networking and breakfast will begin at 8:00am followed by the workshop.   

  

Because we are planning a bigger and better KNOW Business Showcase in 2014, we opted to not have the showcase this year.  However, we are offering the opportunity for you to provide one (1) item to be included in a give-away bag at this workshop.  Please email Sarah Vojtek (vojtek@greaterakronchamber.org) if you wish to donate an item.  Please be prepared to donate 100 items (this number could increase or decrease depending on attendance).
