Abstract

Monthly Economic Diversity column for Tri-City Herald - excerpt below: I think we’ve all gone into a situation not really knowing what to expect--maybe even laced with a little reluctance--and come out of it with more than we bargained for. This happens to me all the time at Costco--and dessert time. But it also happens with more serious things like professional workshops, and I highly recommend them no matter what business you’re in. Take for instance a half-day strategic business forum hosted by Washington State University Tri-Cities that I recently attended. The event, co-sponsored by a variety of local businesses including all of the area’s Chambers of Commerce, drew professionals from around the area to hear about hot topics of interest to small business.
