The presentation is informative with real life, humorous examples interspersed to hold interest and make the learning memorable.

Highlights:

  • Know How Job Creators Judge Your Community
  • Invest To Crank Your Jobs Engine
  • Your Role On The Economic Development Team
  • Do’s And Don’ts And Elected Official Best Practices

“I had no idea of the importance of prospect confidentiality. I have learned to balance sharing the good economic development news with protecting project confidentiality”

“I’m newly elected in our county and I wasn’t experienced with economic development. After watching this 1 hour webinar I am starting to be a better economic development champion than some of the people that have served for years. Thank you Continuous Dialog for helping me get up to speed to help our community succeed!”

“The diversity training and how to stop the stupid stuff that lose deals was particularly instructive. We saw ourselves in some of the stupid stuff and now we will look smarter and more competitive in the future.”

“Thinking like a Job Creator was such an effective, quick way for us to understand and deliver on our Job Promise.”

“This was invaluable training for me. In my community every point that Ms. Johnson touched on should be learned and utilized by staff and elected officials.”
