Session Title: Cultivating a Company Culture

Saturday, July 10 • 1:00 PM - 5:00 PM

Description: Cultivation – “the act of caring for or raising plants.”  Similarly, leaders must care for and grow a company culture.  Culture influences how things get done in an organization.

How do you shape the culture?  This hands-on workshop will provide business leaders with a framework and tools to begin growing a healthier  culture within their organization.
