SUMMARY:Our Amazing Bodies and How They Work…or Don’t
DESCRIPTION:Did you know that you have bugs in your eyelashes? Do you know how your skin repairs itself? Are heart attacks all the same? How does the body protect itself from outside invasion? These and many other questions will be answered as anatomist Jep Hostetler introduces us to the wonders of the human body. We’ll use informative and instructive visuals and do interactive work as we investigate the five senses and the twelve cranial nerves. Come and wonder as we wander through the body. We know Dr. Hostetler as a humorist and a magician\, and he combines that with his 30 years of teaching human anatomy at The Ohio State University\, College of Medicine. \nApril 4\, 6\, 11\, 13 | 10 – 11:30 a.m. also offered via Zoom

SUMMARY:ActionCOACH ONE Delivering Business Promises
DESCRIPTION:Most Business Owners we meet are working 60\, 70\, even 80+ hours a week in their business\, just to be sure to have food on the table for their families and the families of their employees. They have team members who are leaving faster than they can be hired\, and customers are not returning as quickly as you’d like. Planning and financial issues are challenges\, too. Sound familiar?\nYou’re not alone\, and Business Ownership doesn’t have to be this way. You started a business because you knew you could be successful. You can\, and the ActionCOACH team is going to present a simple guide to having that success you’ve always dreamed of.\nIn this LIVE\, INTERACTIVE seminar\, participants will walk away with tools to grow their business right away. The only failure in this webinar is the failure to PARTICIPATE.
