A couple of years ago Meridith became obsessed with the word uncertainty and how we as business owners react so negatively to the word. She wanted to discover why so many of us let unpredictability become an obstacle to our success, so she started on a journey to find business leaders and organizations that had learned how to turn uncertainty into their strategic advantage.
She was able to uncover a wealth of knowledge. Meridith discovered several companies that have managed to survive a wide range of adversity.
From economic downturns and depressions, world wars, and even a global pandemic these organizations were able to create powerful growth opportunities from their uncertain times.
Through exhaustively researching these amazing organizations Meridith was able to find several common threads each of these success stories shared. And, she compiled what she learned into her 9 step formula for making uncertainty your company’s strategic advantage.
This formula works and Meridith Elliot Powell wants to share it with you. So contact Preferred Speakers today so that you can start leveraging today’s uncertainty and get on track to make this the best year ever.
