Smarter. Not Harder.

Smarter. Not Harder.

by Danny Summers

Let's face it, with what you have been through the past 14 months, this should really get your attention.

You've certainly learned a lot and most likely your Center has made huge gains in your mission to share Gardening with the world around you. But, most of you are really tired. I see it in your faces and hear it in your voices. You and your team really need to find a time to recharge. That re-charge time will come - hopefully soon. The big picture of where you are today points to leveraging what you now know and what you have come through to re-think or adapt your normal operations and work flow.

As you begin to catch your breath and re-charge, it can be a time to bring your team together to work on how you can refine operations to allow your entire team to work smarter, not harder.

A perfect opportunity is ahead to help you do just that... The Fall Event 2021!

Work smarter, not harder can be a major focus for you at The Fall Event 2021. Let's take a quick glance at topics that will be covered:


Beyond the Bar of the P&L Study - plus - Exploring the Best of the Best Results
with Steve Bailey and Tim Quebedeaux

Raising the Bar of Critical Thinking and Problem-Solving
with John Kennedy

Raising the Bar with Business Transitions
with Robert Hayter (and featured Centers)

See It to Believe It! What EXACTLY Will Be Above Your Bar in 2022?

The Fall Event will be the perfect time for you to begin planning how to Work Smarter. Not Harder. You will have had time to re-charge. Talk to your team to get some initial ideas together. And being a part of The Fall Event can be an important catalyst for your Center's long-term progression to be more efficient and more profitable – and make your and your team's jobs more fun!

I encourage you to see all the descriptions of these sessions now available in our Fall Event Sessions and Speakers page HERE. And while you're there, take a look at the Best of Wilmington page featuring lots of things to see and do while you're at The Fall Event.

I don't know about you... but I can't wait!
Mark your calendar... August 30 - September 2 (You will be out of town.)
