Join our Guest Marta Segura, Leadership Coach, and Consultant to discuss the importance of building strong leadership skills.

Production is concerned with land, labor, capital, and entrepreneurship. Leadership is the major factor that makes everything work together seamlessly; without leadership, all other business resources are ineffective. Switched-on business leaders are aware of the concerns of their employees and are on top of new developments in leadership theory and practice to create more effective working environments.

Today's Guest: Dr. Rosie Milligan, Senior Partner/Instructor, and Jacquelyn Thomas, Senior Partner/Instructor, My Tech Academy, https://mytechacademy.net/

Guest: Richard Pallay, Senior Vice President

Richard is an expert leader within the business community throughout Southern California. A top-tiered public speaker, he entertainingly shares his knowledge through seminars, panel discussions, and outreach campaigns hosted by the SBA and BOE, with other large associations avidly seeking his help as well.

My favorite thing about Richard:  his company can't get a small business loan for you, he will try his bottom line best to find someone who will! It looks like sincerely caring for people still works.

Just ask Richard!
