Event Details
Most leaders think of themselves as problem solvers. Our clients, customers, friends, family, and colleagues come to us with problems or needs and we deliver solutions. Too often, though, we only solve the symptoms of the problem rather than thinking upstream to address the origins of the problem itself. In this presentation, Ashley will share how shifting to an upstream approach can not only support long-term goals by reducing the probability that these same problems will happen again but will also:
Build trust
Create growth opportunities
Improve internal processes
Let's be impatient for action, but patient for outcomes together.
