WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. – The James V. Brown Library, 19 E. Fourth St., has announced a free workshop for small business owners.
From 5:30-6:30 p.m. Monday, February 12, April Line will offer the program, “Small Business Personnel: Having Hard Conversations.”
During this presentation, Line will share tips and tricks for difficult conversations with staff. Participants will talk through essential interpersonal skills, how to stay calm if your people get activated, and how to make it less scary to have these conversations. Then, there will be some role-playing because practice helps with this discomfort. Learn to stop hating giving your team constructive feedback.
Line has been working in a business consulting capacity for about the last 7 years. When she left her most recent role as an executive and in-house consultant in a small business, she found that people saw the good she’d done there and wanted and sought her help. She decided to lean into consulting and is currently launching Get in Line Business Solutions, whose mission is to meet owners and entrepreneurs where they are, with individualized, real-world solutions.
