for your business), or simply have
business questions. Read

We
will provide a worksheet which follows the presentation.
At the end of each
topic there will be space to design your action steps,
which you can start implementing immediately.
Our
goal is to leave you motivated and inspired to take
immediate action steps
toward even greater success in your business.
In
her seminars Carola Stepper, LAc
presents from a place of "we are all in this
together". Many of the topics addressed pertain
to her own experience. Some
of
the tools were not in place for her as a new business
owner, which makes
it possible for her to use her real-life experience
to fuel each presentation.
Her practice still has areas that are ready for improvement,
but she now has
the skills to bring awareness to them – as well
as the tools, plans and support
needed to continually grow and improve her business.
Carola
is the owner of Cascade
Acupuncture Center, LLC, which was awarded the
Columbia Gorge Region Small Business of the Year Award
by the Small Business
Development Center for 2007 and 2010 and was the runner
up for this award for
the State of Oregon.
She
describes her lecture style as "informational,
motivational and mildly
entertaining", which elicits
high marks from her audience. She encourages
audience participation and people often linger after
the lectures to express
their enjoyment of the seminar and the inspiration it
gave them. Anybody who
has met her can testify to her passion for Oriental
Medicine and for running a
thriving business.
