EOS Lunch & Learn Recap: Simple Tools for Building a Strong Culture at Your Company

Posted on October 19, 2017 at 10:43 AM by Andrea Mantakounis

EOS Event Brite

Do you have all the ingredients you need to build a strong culture at your company? Do you have the right people to take your company to the next level? As your company grows, it’s more important than ever to build a strong culture with a foundation of accountability, focus, and discipline to reach your goals.

Marisa Smith is a Professional EOS Implementer, speaker and entrepreneur who is passionate about helping entrepreneurs and leadership teams clarify, simplify, and achieve their vision. She uses the Entrepreneurial Operating System® process and tools to help business leaders learn to strengthen the Six Key Components™ of their businesses.

Building a strong culture at your company is important for growth within an organization. As a business leader, is it crucial to understand how to structure your company for growth, and how to get everyone aligned around a shared vision for growth. To effectively make this happen, your company should implement the Entrepreneurial Operating System®.

This was the concept for Marisa Smith’s live Lunch & Lear event that took place last Friday afternoon. During the educational hour, Marisa focused on how to use simple, practical tools to get the right people in the right seats and rowing in the same direction. Marisa also touched on the abilities that leadership teams must master to get to the next level. The attendees learned how to use easy, everyday tools to help them achieve their vision - faster! All tools needed can be downloaded for free from the EOS Worldwide website.

Many people wonder if EOS® is right for their company. Are you open-minded, growth-oriented, and a leader in your business? Are you willing to be open, honest, and vulnerable? If you answered yes to either of those questions, then EOS® is right for you.

Join Marisa Smith and the City of Sterling Heights for the final session to explore how the Entrepreneurial Operating System® (EOS®) can help you clarify and achieve your vision, instill discipline and accountability in your organization, and foster a healthy team environment:

Macomb County Asset Discovery Tour to Take Place This Summer

Posted on July 31, 2017 at 9:48 AM by Andrea Mantakounis

Macomb County

 Asset Discovery Tours, more commonly known as Familiarization Tours, or “FAM Tours,” are events that organizations put together to showcase a specific location to a targeted group of people. These tours are often hosted by cities, organizations, travel agents, and educational institutions.



Macomb County will be hosting an asset discovery tour this summer from August 18-19. The concept behind this tour is to bring national corporate site selectors to the area, and show them the essence of Michigan—Macomb County, specifically.


There are many steps in planning these tours. From save-the-dates and invitations to schedules and personal interaction, everything must be perfect. The Macomb County Asset Discovery Tour has taken several months to execute, and will truly be a trip to remember!

Selfridge



The theme of this year’s event is “Land, Air, and Sea” (or lake in the case of Macomb County). The site selector guest list will begin their trip on land with an exclusive event at the Selfridge Air National Guard Base. Here they will network with other business representatives from the area, and get a feel for doing business in Macomb County. The following morning, the guests will enjoy the sea with a fishing charter on Lake St. Clair. Following the charter the guests will experience the air. All site selectors will be escorted to the Selfridge Air National Guard Base where they will view the 100 Year Anniversary Airshow.


It is important to plan discovery tours in a timely manner. Keeping the trip somewhat short is ideal for attendees, as many have families or other commitments to return home for. That said, the Macomb County tour will be offering additional activities, should any guest decide to stay for another evening.


All in all, asset discovery tours are an incredible resource. They are a crucial part of growing a successful business, and building a top-tier network for your clients.
