FREE WEBINAR FOR ALL INVER HILLS STUDENTS

Greetings from the Twin City Adult Education Alliance and Inver Hills Community College. TCAEA is comprised of 25 regionally accredited colleges and universities that serve the adult student population in the Twin Cities metropolitan area. As part of our efforts to help educate our state workforce we are offering a free webinar, exploring the topic of trust in business and relationships. We invite you to join us, May 16^th from 11-12 noon, for this incredible webinar.

The Trust Edge: What Top Leaders Have and 8 Pillars to Build it Yourself. Trust is a fundamental, bottom-line issue. Without it, leaders lose teams, salespeople lose sales,

and organizations lose reputation, retention of good people, relationships and revenue. But with trust, individuals and organizations enjoy greater creativity, productivity, freedom, and results.

Through academic research and firsthand experience, David Horsager has learned what it takes to gain—and keep—The Trust Edge. Through a captivating presentation, David combines humor and illustrations with business insight and analysis. He will show you how the little things, done consistently, add up to huge results. Attendees will walk away with concrete steps they can immediately use to improve their lives and careers. www.davidhorsager.com. David’s video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHJ45j8GYic&feature=relmfu.

If you are interested in viewing this free webinar, RSVP here: http://www.tcaea.org/trustedge. We will enter all names into a drawing. We are giving away one iPad, two Kindle Fires and five copies of David’s book The Trust Edge. We hope you can join us for this excellent presentation on a timely topic.
