Influencing & Making Things Happen @ Rotary Scout Hut, Riverside Park Salida

Influencing & Making Things Happen

Join renowned speaker Jamie Sabbach as we discuss what it takes to gain more influence,lead change and make things happen.

If you’re like most, you probably wish you had more influence. It seems the vast majority stop trying to initiate change because they believe they have little to no control. What results is that they learn to accept things as they are rather than putting energy into what can be done to improve conditions.

Entrepreneurial Bootcamp
Start-Up to Scale-Up

CCEDC in partnership with Startup Colorado and CU’s Leeds School of Business will be hosting the fifth and final installment of this boot camp for entrepreneurs. This year, we’ll be focusing on Chaffee County businesses who’ve made the terrifying but exhilarating leap from “bootstrap startup” to sustainable sales. In this session, we’ll focus on those “problem areas” you only find when your business has grown. This
high-level professional training course will be led by two CU Leeds professors…but they promise to leave their heavy textbooks and tweed jackets at home.
