Hosted September through June, this series offers a wide variety of opportunities to enhance abilities and training for optimum performance in the marketplace.
In this program from AARP, Sherree Lucas will review the eight principles (or mindset lessons) presented in the best selling book “Who Owns the Ice House?“. She will be using examples from the Asheville local business community as exemplifying these principles and mindset. The power of these lessons are 1) they can be learned and 2) they’re within everyone’s reach. An entrepreneurial mindset, according to the book “is a way of thinking and being that is life changing.” Members in attendance will reflect on how they can incorporate one or more of these principles into their everyday lives.
