In fact\, the biggest reason why small businesses fail is not that they don’t have a great solution to a problem\, but because they lack the necessary tools to concisely communicate their solution. \nThe Business Translator Series is designed to help business owners communicate the message of their solution to the needs of their customers. This is done through a 5-part series to help you connect better with your customer. Read below for the Individual Workshop Descriptions to decide if you should attend one\, some or all of the workshops to help you better communicate with customers. Brought to you by Elevate Ventures and elevate northeast indiana. \n  \nThis workshop teaches companies how to connect with customers\, meeting customer needs and gaining customer business.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][nectar_btn size=”large” open_new_tab=”true” button_style=”regular” button_color_2=”Accent-Color” icon_family=”fontawesome” url=”https://www.elevateventures.com/business-translator-series-workshop-301/” text=”View Event”][/vc_column][/vc_row]

While some are naturally creative\, many are not. But it doesn’t matter how creative you think you are or are not – we all get “stuck” creatively. \nThis OCEAN NEI Workshop applies proven methods of Lateral Thinking – a method to get “unstuck” and see things from a new perspective. These Lateral Thinking techniques have been utilized at companies such as Sony\, Kimberly-Clark\, Wells Fargo\, NASA\, and General Mills to come up with creative solutions for product development and business solutions. \nJill McBain\, a Lateral Thinking certified facilitator\, will lead the group to apply one of the Lateral Thinking methods to solve a personal and professional problem. Each participant will walk away with a new technique that they can immediately apply to their business to create new solutions. \nJoin us at 6 p.m. on Sept. 12 at the ATRIUM: Start Fort Wayne. Your ticket includes dinner and a two-hour session with a certified Lateral Thinking facilitator. \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][nectar_btn size=”large” open_new_tab=”true” button_style=”regular” button_color_2=”Accent-Color” icon_family=”fontawesome” url=”https://www.eventbrite.com/e/ocean-nei-ideation-workshop-tickets-49355364223″ text=”Register For Event”][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Consider these staggering facts: \n\nLast year\, the US was short 3 Million skilled workers in the manufacturing sector alone\n60% of Millennials value a sense of purpose in an employer; 78% will work for less if challenged\n40% of all workers currently work remotely; 50% will work remotely by 2020\n94% of the net new jobs created between 2005-2015 were either temporary or contract-base\n\nAre any of these statistics impacting your ability to attract and retain talent while effectively motivating them in their job? With ~3% unemployment\, setting your organization apart and retaining key talent will continue to drive corporate performance. In a Maritz Research poll\, employees who felt recognized vs. those who did not were: \n\n5x more likely to feel valued in their job\n7x more likely to strongly endorse their company as a great place to work\n7x more likely to spend the rest of their careers with their present company\n11x more likely to be completely satisfied with their jobs\, their manager & the company\nEven more exciting\, Dr. Nelson is offering to speak to your organization or conduct training while he is here in the Greater Fort Wayne area at a significantly reduced rate.  If your company would like to learn more\, let us know and we’ll connect you directly with Dr. Bob and his team!\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][nectar_btn size=”large” open_new_tab=”true” button_style=”regular” button_color_2=”Accent-Color” icon_family=”fontawesome” url=”https://nihra.org/meetinginfo.php?id=43&ts=1531404214″ text=”Register For Event”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
