WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUGH, THE TOUGH GO FOR COFFEE
Go beyond theory with business turnaround speaker Richard J. Bryan and re-live the business turn-around tactics he learned over coffee (lots of coffee) with his brilliant, common-sense, business mentor Frank. Richard became the reluctant CEO of his family’s high-profile business at the age of 28, after his father became ill. He was facing $5 million of company debt, tough competition, unhappy manufacturer partners and, to top it off, the business was losing $3.5 million a year! He looked around and decided he needed help. Enter Frank.
Fill your cup, pull up a chair and learn the top 10 road-tested, turn-around tactics that saved the business. With the help of the right mentor, Richard took his family business from near bankruptcy to profitable sale over the course of 10 years. He has gathered his key learnings (the good, the bad and the ugly) in his no-nonsense, leadership book Being Frank. He will share select excerpts from his book with you, in this value-packed, reality-tested, freshly brewed program.
