Members Showcase Panel Discussion

At the Members’ Panel Showcase on February 26, three RPCN members will share what it took to build and manage their successful consultancies.  You will learn about their backgrounds, business objectives, their failures and successes, and the strategies and tactics they deployed to succeed.  Each panelist will start with a short introduction followed by an interactive discussion among the panelists and the audience.  Come ready with your questions!

Three key learnings  the audience will take away from the program:

  1. How the panelists decided on their business missions and objectives?
  2. How did they overcome failures and adversity on the road to success?
  3. What are their strategies and key tactics for continuing to thrive?
