Collection 3: Growth, increase in value and management

February 2022

This collection will be learned on day one of the critical factors in place to create growth and value increase in your business, and everything you need to know about branding. Day two directs a pointed focus on the willingness to take leadership. In our time we have become accustomed to looking at leadership as a position, something you apply to and get with some luck. Then we'll do leadership small. Leadership is about wanting to do something, leaving something of value, but it's also about people wanting to follow you as a leader. Strong will helps little if you are unfollowable. So two big questions rung in leadership: Why do you want to be a leader? And why should anyone follow you? The days will consist of professional refills and workshops.
– Everything you need to know about brand in an hour
– Strategies for growth
Why do you want to be a leader?
Why should anyone follow you?
