SUMMARY:Beyond Startup: Plot Twist: Running a Business When Things Don't Go to Plan
DESCRIPTION:Running a business rarely goes exactly according to plan. In this interactive workshop\, you’ll work with peers to tackle a real-world business challenge\, make decisions with incomplete information\, and adapt when unexpected “plot twists” change the situation. Through creative activities\, role-playing and problem-solving\, you’ll practice responding to uncertainty\, trusting your judgment and making decisions when there is no obvious right answer. \nYOUR FACILITATOR: \nNicole Kurtz is an artist\, educator\, and founder of Aducate Digital\, based in Akron\, Ohio. She helps entrepreneurs make sense of marketing without the fluff. Her approach turns big ideas into simple\, smart strategies that actually feel good to use. As an outsourced partner for small businesses\, Nicole offers both hands-on support and honest guidance to help clients grow at a pace that works for them. \nShe also designs learning experiences that stick. With a background in instructional design\, she knows how to break down tricky topics and turn them into tools people can actually use. Whether she’s building a brand\, writing a workshop\, or creating a resource\, Nicole’s focus is the same: make it clear\, make it thoughtful\, and make it matter.
