No... it’s not the initials of some union, association or government agency.
It’s the best way to explain what this session is all about.

wisdom and creativity to address any business challenge, Robert will lead us
through the process of identification to action.
A little bit art with creative solutions...
a little bit science from proven results.

Spock called it “mind meld”. But don’t worry... we won’t take it quite that far.
Let’s just call it a great way for you to leave with answers to some of the
biggest business challenges you face.
What began in a garden center consisting of a one-car garage with bedding plants sold on the family picnic
table turned into a 40-year horticultural adventure for Robert Hendrickson. His diverse career includes 15
years in the retail trenches, a decade consulting with garden centers on operational issues that help determine whether the owners make money or “get a real job,” then another 15 years building The Garden Center
Group to get garden retailers focused on the business side of their business. Squeezed in with his on-site
consulting and online business services, Hendrickson enjoys lengthy trips to Mexico’s Yucatan, exploring
Mayan ruins as a guide and volunteer rock hauler.
