New face-to-face Workshops!
How to Plan for a
Satisfying Retirement
Many retirees are actively employed after they retire from
their former jobs. Others are engaged in pursuing the interests
and activities they never had time for in their previous life.
And some are just downright unhappy. This workshop will help
you plan for a satisfying retirement by sharing what works
and what doesn’t for many people. Learn how you can
“practice” for retirement. Examine the role that
work had in your pre-retirement life and what role it might
take afterwards. Retirement can be a highly satisfying period
in your life – provided you plan for it properly. To

Is Owning a Business Right for You?
Thinking about starting your own business one day? If so,
this is the workshop for you. You’ll learn about the
advantages of owning and running your own business, the reasons
that some businesses succeed and why so many fail. You will
find out about the issues you must consider in starting a
business and the people with whom you should talk. In addition,
you’ll take the Entrepreneurial Assessment to measure
whether you have what it takes to be an entrepreneur. To enroll

and customer service skills, and it will demonstrate the impact
your own attitude has on a given situation with a customer.
You'll also learn how to distinguish between a difficult customer
