Q: I find that my employees often look to me for answers…especially during times of uncertainty.  How do I react?

■  See Where You Can Be of Service – Determine how your business can help create a more enriched, positive, supportive community.
■  Imagine the Possibilities – Envision what the future can become.  Don’t be bound by the confines of today’s reality.
■  Brainstorm Opportunities – Determine tangible action plans to solidify your visions.
■  Align Your Vision with Your Action – Put your plans into action with crystal clear directives.
