Get A Grip On Your Business with Entrepreneurial Operating System

Clark Neuhoff, Certified EOS® Implementer - Based on the Best Selling Business Book "Traction"
The Entrepreneurial Operating System, EOS®, helps business owners and leaders accelerate results and get more of what they want from their businesses. We do that by providing a complete system of simple yet powerful tools to get your entire organization crystal clear on your vision, much more disciplined and accountable in executing your vision, gaining consistent traction®, and advancing as a healthy, functional, cohesive team.
*Vision, from the standpoint of first getting your leaders 100% on the same page with where your organization is going and how it is going to get there.
*Traction®, from the standpoint of helping your leaders to become more disciplined and accountable, executing really well to achieve every part of your vision.
*Healthy, meaning helping your leaders to become a healthy, functional, cohesive leadership team because unfortunately, leaders often don't function well as a team.
Building an "A" Team, Where Do I Fit In?
12:30pm - 2:30pm
Renee Rouwhorst, Ryke'sBakery, Catering and Café, certified on the DiSCPersonal Profiling System, Diversity Analysis, and Time Management Evaluation
Ever wonder why there are some people that you just "click" with and others that just don't seem to respond positively - even when you treat them the very same way? In this session, participants will be introduced to concepts from the DiSC Behavioral Profiling System and gain an understanding of why people do what they do and how your behavior can affect others. We'll discover why we need a balance of all different types of people with different approaches to tasks and communication to build a team that works.
