Janet Fagan - Career Transition and Small Business Coach

 

February 9th Luncheon

Are you a “SOLO-PRENEUR”? Did you know that the number of Mom-and-Pop and Solo-Owned small businesses (those with no paid employees) has grown to over 17 Million? Many are also part-time businesses with their owners running more than one business at a time.

Certified Coach, Janet Fagan, works in the area of career transition as well as coaching small business owners…not only tackling small day-to-day issues, but also in goal setting and business planning. With a background in assessments, part of a beginning process with these “Solo-Preneurs” is to do some self-assessment work to better understand themselves, mitigate any weak spots and to also emphasize and focus on their strengths and natural preferences. Gaining this knowledge can also help business owners work with various other type personalities and help themto recognize and understand their clients better. As we all know, Socrates’ guiding rule was: “Know Thyself”.

NAWBO women can purchase the Myer’s Briggs test ahead of time for the discounted price of $10 to take before the Feb meeting. Email Janet for more info fagancoach@aol.com.
