Motivate THIS
Steve Rizzo | Motivational Strategist and Author

The word THIS in the title refers to you. How motivated are you on any given day? One of the biggest challenges we face today both professionally and personally is staying motivated and enthusiastic for more than just a few days. This one-of-a-kind presentation introduces Common Sense Success Strategies that will take you to a better place in business and in life. We go through the course of our lives and allow circumstances, events, situations and people to suck the energy right out of us. With the right strategies, we can bounce back, take control and forge ahead. MOTIVATE THIS is filled with Steve Rizzo’s distinctive brand of humor, insightful stories and mind-altering strategies that will elevate your overall degree of motivation, regardless of your circumstances. It’s an indispensable tool for maximizing your success and happiness.

 

Prepare for 2024
Jeremy Bess | Economist - ITR Economics
Sponsored by Savoy House

2023 is winding down as we prepare for the challenges and ongoing uncertainties of 2024. The decelerating rate of rise and, in some cases, onset of decline that characterized many industries and businesses in 2023 will extend through 2024 for many. We will present business strategies and tactics that address the projected changes in the economic landscape. During this session we will also discuss:

  1. Assess business demand for 2024 and into 2025
  2. Analyze the labor market and present our expectations for availability and labor costs
  3. Present a clear picture of inflation and interest rates
  4. Look at ITR Economics’ key leading indicators and what they foretell for your markets
  5. Present relevant market outlooks and discuss issues that impact your profitability via resource allocation, budgets, expectations, and strategic planning
  6. Determine the near- and longer-term trends in labor, pricing pressures, and interest rates
  7. Assess the health of financial market trends and their impact, if any, on the forecasts
