“Surviving the Storm….with Vision and Values as Your Anchor”
With the economy going strong, but lots of signs that an end to the record market expansion may be coming soon, this presentation will share why the two key ingredients for “High-Performance” of Vision and Values are so important to your organization thriving rather than just surviving when the economy takes a turn for the worse. Daran will share his experiences with operating multiple companies over the past 20 years, including one company that failed miserably and another that leveraged the lessons learned from that failure to ultimately survive the most recent “Great Recession.” Every member of the audience will walk away with many nuggets of wisdom to help them thrive, not just survive, economic and other market challenges.
