PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
MANAGEMENT & PERSONAL
DEVELOPMENT
Coach Yourself First
Why is it that some managers and leaders
inspire people to be the best they can be and
others don’t? How do they inspire people to
become valuable assets in their organizations?
The answer to both questions is simple: They
coach from a position of authenticity and
personal connection. This course will give you
a deeper understanding of your personal
coaching style and its impact on others.

The Simplest Personal Finance
Strategy Ever: Cash Cows, Pigs,
and Jackpots
The old way to get wealthy was to build up
assets and net worth using real estate, stocks,
and funds, with debt often used to do the
building. But that strategy is deeply flawed,
as it ignores the one basic principle known by
anyone who is truly rich: What we should
really be focused on is plain old CASH FLOW.
This seminar will explore the concept of
ensuring cash flow when it comes to
personal finances rather than trying to
build wealth as measured by net worth.
