In the 21st Century, entrepreneurship is more than just an endeavor; it is an empowering mindset. People often think of entrepreneurship as simply owning a business, but really the art of being entrepreneurial is about adopting the mindset and belief system that there’s always a way to use creativity, passion, and inspired vision to create value.
We refer to this way of thinking as the “entrepreneurial mindset.”
In this webinar, we will explore the lessons that can be learned from entrepreneurs and the benefits of having an entrepreneurial mindset when addressing your organization’s challenges. Topics include:
• Empowering your VOICE - Vision, Opportunities, Innovation,
Capital and Entrepreneurial Networks
• 7 Characteristics of an entrepreneurial leader finding the entrepreneurial edge

We don’t have a natural intuitive awareness of this stuff.” This quote from Steve Salbu is a call to action! In this webinar, you will learn about the wrong stuff and the right stuff to use for making high-quality ethical decisions at work. Dr. Salbu uses robust research to show us how we have all fallen into those pits at one time or another, and also offers us a quick way out if we do not avoid them.

• Provide a framework for conceptualizing, building, and leveraging strong brands
• Explore how companies develop a strong connection to the customer that goes beyond product excellence
• Demonstrate how companies stay relevant in the eyes of their customer base

Based on research with Hispanic mid-level managers in Fortune 1000 corporations, Dr. Holvino identified eight “cultural scripts” that impact their careers and experiences at work. In this session, she explains the concept of “cultural scripts” and discusses how these scripts both support and challenge Latinos’ career and leadership development. Drawing on the understanding and identification of cultural scripts among diverse groups, she will discuss strategies to enhance the leadership and career success of individuals as well as the effectiveness of organizations in a diverse world. These strategies range from enhancing our bi-culturalism to building alliances and strategic relations across differences.
