As we approach the year-end what are the ten key things that we could do to make 2013 truly count in the life of our business? Susan Hayes, returns to her native Cork, to deliver a practical and implementable workshop on how to finish the year with a flourish and be poised and ready for growth in 2014.

 

With her trademark positive attitude, she will encourage the audience to focus on what you can do while focusing on the five key areas of business; strategy, finance, marketing, sales and productivity. She will openly speak of her own journey of opening international doors, reinventing herself in times of recessionary opportunity and how she practises what she preaches.
