Sometimes it is difficult to attend professional development events during the day because it means having to commute somewhere and time away from your desk, which forces you to choose: do I get behind on work or do I attend this event? Well, you no longer have to choose.
We are excited to begin offering afterhours professional development in one of two forms: Dinner & Development or Dessert & Development (like this one!) Keep an eye out for future calendars with a dinner version next.
This Dessert & Development is proudly hosted at The Generalist - a one-of-a-kind general store + retail collective in downtown Johnson City (check them out here.) We'll be trying an assortment of their locally made offerings, including ice cream, chocolate, and so much more. This is already reason enough to attend, but as a cherry on top (you know YP can't turn down a good pun) you'll get to hear from David Talley - Founder & CEO of Talley Financial (and soon to be TEDxJohnsonCity speaker in June - stay tuned!) You can learn more about his company here, but you should really attend this event to hear David speak on entrepreneuship, what it's like growing a company, and HOW to scale your company. Whether you are a business owner or not, you are surely in for a treat.
