At the recent Studer Institute session on “Leadership in the Workplace”, we asked the 310 individuals in attendance to take a follow-up survey to tell us the most important professional development session we could provide. Over 80% of the responses were Strategic Planning. This isn’t surprising. I have found in my work that often not-for-profit organizations and small businesses struggle in the strategic planning process. This can range from lacking a strategic plan entirely, to having one that is too cumbersome to execute.

With that in mind, Studer Institute is excited to announce its next workshop, “A Strategic Planning Model for Small Businesses and Non-Profits” led by Lynne Cunningham. Lynne is a national expert in strategic planning from Sacramento, California, with over 30 years of experience in the business. The full day workshop will be held November 14th, 2014 at Hillcrest Baptist Church.

After attending this workshop, you will leave with a full understanding of the strategic planning process. Specifics include:
• Development of an action plan to prepare your organization to reach desired outcomes.
• A case study presented by Stacey Kostevicki, Executive Director of Gulf Coast Kid’s House, on how this model was used effectively to engage their Board in the planning process.
• How to develop a real strategic plan.

Who should attend?
• Not for Profit Board of Directors either individually or as a group
• Small business owners
• Any small business or not-for-profit, supervisor, manager or executive director
• Anyone directly involved in the strategic planning process

What is the cost of the seminar?
At the last session we raised over $30,000 for various not-for-profit organizations. We believe strategic planning is so vital that this seminar is a Studer Institute holiday gift to you.
• This training is complimentary for all attendees.
• Please bring a non-perishable food item for Manna Food Bank.

Where will the workshop be held?
• Hillcrest Baptist Church
800 E 9 Mile Rd, Pensacola, Florida
Northwest Conference Hall

There seems to be this stigma that if you are in a position right now that is not your “calling,” that some how you are failing. The trouble with such a blanket statement is that for so many people today, you have no idea what the great adventure ahead of you looks like, or where it begins. Yet some...
