Happy New Year!

 

As we all said goodbye to 2008, most were filled with some level of uncertainty and anxiety.  As we now move into the first quarter of 2009, I can not help but be hopeful and excited about the new year and the opportunities it might reveal. 

  

For all of us at CRG ASSOCIATES, 2008 was filled with growth and with that, change.  We were pleased to help our local, national and international clients meet and exceed their training and development goals.  In 2009, we are moving forward in continuing to offer programs that have proven to be some of the most effective and efficient solutions available.   I encourage you to consider our new offering "Leading Through Tough Times" as you try to help the leaders in your organization best deal with the current economic climate.  This is one example of how CRG ASSOCIATES is poised to help you find solutions to the challenges organizations are facing today. 

 

Highlighted below are just some of the value-driven solutions we can help bring to your organization.  Don't forget to check out our "Collaboration Corner"  in which we offer a timely solution at a tremendous cost savings.

 

Sincerely,

 

Chris

Helping People Manage

Personal and Work Stress


 

Today's workplace demands high performance of its employees, but that no longer means putting work ahead of everything else. Organizations formerly disregarded the need to balance life outside of work and accepted the fact that productivity suffered as a result. Today's more dynamic, team-oriented organizations require flexible, creative, sustainable performance, the kind that comes with people who know how to balance the urgent demands of work life and personal life without sacrificing either.

 

We will waive our facilitation fee for this

3-hour session 

 

Now offering this incredible value for a limited time at your location for $25/person.

Make Mine A Million $$ Business Race

You may already be aware that in December, I was selected out of 1,500 applicants as one of 25 finalists to attend the National Make Mine A Million $$ Business event.

While I was not in the final group of awardees selected for the big prizes at the Florida event, I learned about and met some of the wonderful resources available to all women business owners through this program and its major sponsors, which includes American Express, Dell, and others.


This year the program is shifting from a live competition-type event, which I was part of, but which only recognized about 125 women per year, to one that will be online, open to any and all women entrepreneurs who own a business.

I would like to invite all women business owners to join me for a live webinar on Friday, January 23 to learn more about this exciting program! 

Date: January 23, 2009

Time: 10:00 - 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time
