SUMMARY:Treat Culture Like a Product Because Your People Are Its Customers
DESCRIPTION:Join the Georgia Indo-American Chamber of Commerce to hear Vince Bakshani\, Coach to Entrepreneurs thru EOS Worldwide on the topic\, “Treat Culture Like a Product Because Your People Are Its Customers.” \n  \nTopic Overview:\nIf Dharmesh Shah could start HubSpot over again\, he would have made investments in culture sooner. Come join Vince Bakshani\, Professional EOS Implementer®\, as he enumerates some of the ways culture is a product\, and how you can make an investment in your culture by implementing a simple\, easy to use tool called The People Analyzer™. \n  \nAbout the Speaker: \nVince’s passion for entrepreneurship began at home. From a young age\, he felt the vulnerability and triumph of operating a company. Vince’s professional goal was to join the family textile business started by his father\, who originally immigrated from India. He immersed himself in this vocation and eventually earned a degree from Babson College\, a school known for entrepreneurship. \nBut then Vince’s family business went bankrupt\, and he had to reevaluate his future.\nIn hindsight\, many of the tools Vince used in his career were similar in nature to EOS\, so he knows they work. Today\, implementing EOS is Vince’s way of doing for others what he wished someone would’ve done for his family business—providing the guidance\, encouragement\, and resources to optimize the business and enjoy life as an entrepreneur. \n  \nCost of Attendance: Members: Free\, Non-Members $15.00 (included heavy hors d’oeuvres and one drink)
