When the Shift Hits the Fan!
Bernadette "Bernie" Young, President of "Bernie" Young & Associates in St. Petersburg, FL, presented a workshop on ways to innovate change in a spirit of peak performance.

Young led Goodwill Industry International delegates through the fantasies and realities of change, had exercises for making change be fun, showed ways to explain change to those who resist it, and offered ideas to create synergy and cooperation.

In today's increasingly complex and competitive market, a high level of professional development in every area is vital. Skills, attitudes, performance, planning, coordination and management, teamwork and productivity, outreach, and evaluation capabilities must be maximized.

Of the many programs available to provide or develop these skills, none is more comprehensive, professional, interactive, transferable, fun, and proven than those of the "Bernie" Young & Associates, Inc.
