BBC Friday 6 March – Leveraging Past Lessons To Work For Your Present Entrepreneurial Endeavors

Betty Herman on LinkedInThis BBC Friday, longtime BBC Regular, wise person (not to be confused with Mafia “wise guy” or “gangster”), and delightful inspiration, Betty Herman, will lead us in a roundtable discussion of finding the gift in life events

Sometimes life events are not recognized as gifts until many years later. This discussion will give you the opportunity to look at your experiences and the lessons you learned from those events. Once those values/lessons you gained are identified, as a group, we can talk about how you can better leverage those lessons to benefit your business. Betty Herman of Martha & Mary (marthaandmary.org), has led this session in Gig Harbor with amazing results. Come and enjoy the discussion, share your wisdom, learn from one another, supporting each other as entrepreneurs and business owners growing their business in unique ways.

Betty is Outreach Coordinator, Geriatric Care Manager Assistant, at Martha & Mary Home and Community Services: “We provide services in rehabilitation, long term care, in-home care, child care programs, early childhood education, and more, throughout the West Sound region. For the past 25 years Betty has provided services to seniors  in a variety of capacities, from individual caregiver to Care Director.”

From Dave Kragen, KillWare®.com: Ok, I tend to pretty much hide from my past. Don’t want to go there really. Not that it was so awful, just, well, it’s the past. But, you know, I trust Betty. She’s got smarts and, well – d’oh – hey, Betty teaches good stuff and has a handle on life. And, besides, I’d rather ‘leverage the past’ than have the past ‘leverage me’.

Be there, be free, be businesswise. For, in a sense, as serial entrepreneurs, we’re all business wise.

 So, invite your friends and associates to come join us for this exciting non-virtual non-cloud event in real time and real space … and another delicious cup of BBC!
