About the Session
Topic: Rethink Relationships
Connecting with and learning from others is part of the faith and entrepreneurial journey. Everyone has benefitted from great relationships or perhaps underperformed without them. Wise input is highly valued. Bill will talk about the benefits of great peer interaction. In light of our present situation, he will focus on two key points: (1) the importance of in-person interaction/blessing to combat spiritual lethargy; and (2) dealing with the economic storm / disruption and the need for connecting. This is not the time to be isolated.
