We live in a world of disengagement. Some see their work as a necessary evil to survive, spending their careers waiting for time away from work, waiting for vacations, waiting for Fridays... just living for the weekend! We can sit around and wait for the perfect job or perfect boss to come along. Or, we can enjoy the power that comes with controlling our own destiny. The first step we must take is to change the way we see our professional life and personal life coming together. Clint Swindall understands the elements that bring it all together, and can help your organization answer the following questions:
  • What five aspects of life must be intertwined to bring about true life happiness?
  • What simple steps can we take to add to a culture of employee engagement?
  • What can we do immediately to enhance our professional and personal lives?
We all look forward to the weekend, but those who truly enjoy life have found a way to look forward to Monday as much as they look forward to Friday. This program will bring you one step closer to employee engagement by moving you one step closer to a balanced life.

Please consider sponsoring this general meeting to help us continue to bring in special speakers each year. Sponsorship is $250 and includes 2 attendees, additional attendees at reduced rate, logo on marketing & company highlighted in program.

KILLER CONTRACTS SEMINAR
Oct 31, 2018
Construction contracts are increasingly drafted with complicated terms that are more harmful than they may appear, and Texas courts will enforce the dire consequences of these agreements. It's a common misconception that if a contract seems horrifically one-sided then it will not be enforceable due to it being "unfair," but that's not the case. Join Bethany & Tom as they explain the terms and contract language that create most of the legal problems, as well as give you guidance and tips on how to modify your future agreements to better protect yourself and your company.
