Entrepreneurship is often described as freedom, flexibility, and opportunity. But the real lessons—the ones that shape how a business grows—only begin after you take that first step.
Our speaker, Diane Pisani, has been self-employed since 1986, building businesses in the travel and Home Watch industries. Through that experience, she has come to believe there is one industry that connects them all: customer service. When you understand how to serve people well, you can build success in any business you choose.
In this candid and story-driven presentation, Diane shares lessons learned along the way, including the challenges, the turning points, and the mindset shifts that move a business forward.
Designed for both newer and experienced business owners, this session offers perspective, encouragement, and practical takeaways that can be applied immediately.
Our annual meeting sponsor is Amy Turner, Executive Director of The Sally J. Pimentel Deaf & Hard of Hearing Center.
Thank you to Deb Lee Nashed, our other annual sponsor, Debonair Concierge Travel Services, LLC.
Our meeting sponsor is Michelle Golab, with Touchstone Crystal.
Sponsorships available for July and beyond. Please contact [email protected]. Member cost is $75 including dinner, a 5 minute presentation and posts in all our social media for the month. Non-members are welcome to be a meeting sponsor for $100 with the same benefits.
We welcome visitors. Please let your friends and business associates know about this great meeting. And we now have a Student Rate, only $25 - for any student taking 12 credits. A wonderful opportunity to begin her exposure to the business world.
