January Monthly Event

      Guest speaker: Jan Horton Spence

Just say ‘NO’ to Goal-setting: A Different Look Ahead for 2013

This is the time of year that Americans gear
up to write their hopes and dreams for the
next year on a list, pin it to the wall and “wish
upon a star” that somehow, miraculously, their
wishes & goals will come true.  In fact, many
are just setting themselves up for another
season of disappointment and frustration.

Join us to uncover how traditional goal-setting
may be setting you and your department up
for failure. You’ll learn new ways to empower
yourself and your team-members to get rid of
unnecessary roadblocks, focus on what
makes you successful and how to capitalize
on that as you move forward. Based on Jan’s
vast experience helping organizations and
individuals explore their full potential, she will
expose us to a different approach to planning
for the new year.

If you already have written goals for yourself
or your work role, feel free to bring those with
you so that you can apply the practical
principles you’ll learn right away.  During this
interactive session, you’ll be inspired to dare
to be different as you kick off the NewYear.

With contagious charisma and a zest for life which make her an
excellent motivator and leader,
the Georgia native has used her vast
knowledge in sales, marketing, and business
operations to help numerous clients including
Pillsbury, Walmart, and Frito-Lay.
    A graduate of Mercer University (Macon,

Business Development for Sandler Training in 2001, and was quickly lauded for her
unique ability to help people implement
attitude, technique and behavioral changes to
increase their profitability.

entrepreneurial venture and launched the

operation, they were awarded the “2005
Franchisee of the Year” by the International
Franchise Association.  Meeting their four-year plan, they sold the business in 2007.
