The Fall Event 2016
Program of Garden Retailing
Tuesday, September 27 – continued
2:00pm- 3:30pm
POWERSessions
As we all know, one of the best parts of The Fall Event is the time you spend interacting with fellow retailers, service providers and sponsors. This year’ s Fall Event offers Group interaction through POWERSessions dedicated to specific topics for discussion. Sessions will be based on your input. Then, you can engage fellow retailers, service providers, and sponsors to develop hybrid plans to implement in your center. This collective braintrust will allow us to collaborate and multiply our capabilities beyond that of any one individual garden center. Watch for opportunities to give your input on session categories. Which category is at the top of your list? Sessions are designed to rotate every 30 minutes, but you can stay as long as you like!

How what we know that really works to get something off the ground, and what we usually do are opposing forces, and how to overcome fear, intimidation and procrastination to break through. How to do the hard work of your homework to accelerate your learning and master anything you want to do. When to pull the punches and push aside naysayers to play it forward to get the essential things done. What you must do as soon as your new project begins to work.
