FROM THE DESK OF THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR “ Extraordinary people visualize not what is possible or probable, but rather what is impossible. And by visualizing the impossible, they begin to see it as possible” CHERIE CARTER-SCOTT
As we embark on a new year, we are inviting all of our members to unleash the possibilities. Have you ever taken a moment to consider what would be possible if… As the quote above says, by visualizing the impossible you can begin to see it as possible. We will start doing just that with an innovative and inspiring lineup for our Spring Workshop in Meza, Arizona. With so much interactive content, it’s not being offered virtually, so you’ll want to make plans now to attend. You can learn more at https://www. usswimschools.org/events/. Hiring continues to be a challenge across the country and across industries. In the CareerPlug article, Stay in Touch: How to Improve the Hiring Process with Better Communication, they will share the latest trends and best practices. This resource and others in our Membership Resource Pool are available to give you the best chance at making the impossible possible by filling all your open positions. Do you have big plans for expansion and growth in the new year? With the right skills and mindset, you can navigate a negotiation that is a win for you and your company. Be sure to check out the article The Fundamentals of Negotiation by John Spence to learn the top five things that will build the foundation for you to be a successful negotiator. A new year brings so many new possibilities and while the world can be filled with uncertainty, you can work to prepare yourself and your staff to unleash the possibilities out there to have a healthy and prosperous year!
