Table of Contents Dear Business Professional: Challenges. They come in all shapes and sizes – maintaining a strong bottom line, resolving personnel issues, or a personal struggle – we have all faced a challenge. How you overcome adversity is what can set you apart. Do you rise above it? Do you learn from it? Or, are you destined to repeat it? The result speaks to your character or to the success of your company. The Workforce & Professional Development Institute (WPDI) views challenge as an opportunity. Challenge yourself to learn a new skill. Challenge your company to reach (or exceed!) a new goal. Challenge yourself to start a small business. Challenge = Opportunity + Growth WPDI’s five areas – Client Solutions, Continuing Professional Development, Judicial Services, Illinois Procurement Technical Assistance Center, and Illinois Small Business Development Center – all offer solutions to overcoming your business challenges. As we turn another page on the calendar and begin a New Year, rise above your challenges. Set yourself or your company apart. Face your challenge. Create an opportunity. Experience growth. Visit wpdi.clcillinois.edu or call (847) 543-2615. WPDI’s experienced staff is ready to assist. How will you challenge yourself?
