Marketing Made Simple: The One-Page Plan

No massive binders, no overwhelming jargon. Most small business owners have passion but lack the time to create strategic and current marketing plans to keep them on track. In today’s competitive landscape, you don’t need a 50-page document or an expensive outside advisor to succeed. You need a dynamic, one-page strategy built for the future.

This is an intensive workshop designed to help you analyze your brand, identify high-impact strategies, and monitor your business development without the burnout. Walk out of this hands-on workshop with a single, highly focused page that tells you exactly how to market your small
business on your budget.

Diagnosing Conflict

Do you freeze when confronted with a challenging situation?
Conflict is normal. Productive conflict focuses on goals, ideas, and solutions; unproductive conflict shifts toward winning, blaming, or personalities. Use a simple diagnostic process to understand conflict before choosing how – or if – to respond.

Recognize the signs, identify the conflict, assess style impact, and seek clarity before acting. Learn how to ask open questions, reflect upon and summarize what you heard, and look beneath positions to identify interests. Also learn when to ask for help, or when to disengage.

Assess your own situation and identify your next best steps to achieve positive outcomes.

Don’t make tough decisions in a silo!
Explore why ethics matters in business and how principled choices help organizations—and communities—thrive. This interactive workshop offers practical tools for navigating workplace and personal dilemmas, understanding standards of conduct, recognizing the consequences of unethical decisions, and strengthening corporate social responsibility.
