SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn | Marketing + Marketability - Is Marketing Really the Problem?
DESCRIPTION:Marketing + Marketability | Is Marketing Really the Problem? \nBefore you spend more time or money on marketing\, make sure marketing is actually the problem. \nMost businesses know they need to market themselves. So they build a website\, post on social media\, send emails\, attend networking events—or hire someone to do it for them. \nBut when those efforts aren’t producing the results they expected\, the instinct is often to do more marketing. \nWhat if marketing isn’t the problem? \nJoin Crown Center Executive Suites for Marketing vs. Marketability\, an interactive session with marketing strategist Jackie Awve that takes a different look at what makes a business easier—or harder—to market. \nWe’ll look at the difference between marketing your business and building a business that is marketable\, including how clearly you communicate your value\, whether your brand reflects the business you’ve actually built\, and what may need attention before investing in another marketing tactic. \nThis isn’t about learning the latest social media trick. It’s about understanding what you’re asking your marketing to communicate in the first place. \nKey Topics Include: \n\nThe difference between marketing and marketability\nHow to recognize the value you’ve already built into your business\nWhy good businesses can still be difficult to market\nWhere branding\, positioning and messaging affect marketing\nperformance\nHow to identify gaps between what your business delivers and how it is perceived\nWhat to address before spending more time or money on marketing\nHow to decide where your marketing attention belongs next\n\nWHO SHOULD ATTEND \nBusiness Owners • Entrepreneurs • Independent Professionals • Consultants • Service Providers • Small Business Leaders • Anyone Responsible for Marketing or Growing a Business \nMEET THE SPEAKER\nJackie Awve\nFounder + Strategic Advisor\, Awve Marketing \nJackie Awve is a marketing strategist and business advisor with more than 30 years of experience in sales\, marketing and business development. Through Awve Marketing\, she works with organizations to identify what makes them valuable\, translate that value into stronger positioning and communications\, and build marketing around what makes the business genuinely marketable. \n  \n  \n  \n  \nOctober 9\n11:30 AM – 1:00 PM \nCrown Center Executive Suites\n1451 W.

SUMMARY:Lunchtime Learning: Creating a  Dynamic Workplace for Business Growth
DESCRIPTION:Dynamic Workplace for Business Growth \nThe Psychology of Organizational Culture\nA dynamic\, productive workplace takes more than good leadership\, a mission statement\, or a set of company values. It requires an understanding of the people who make an organization work. \nThe way employees interact\, respond to their surroundings\, build trust\, and interpret the behavior of others all contribute to workplace culture—often in ways we don’t consciously recognize. Understanding these psychological influences can help business leaders create environments that encourage collaboration\, improve performance\, and support sustainable growth. \nBring your lunch\, or buy Farm to Fork meals from our on-site vending machine and join Crown Center Executive Suites for an insightful Lunch & Learn that explores the psychology behind organizational culture and why understanding behavior is essential to creating a workplace where people can thrive. \n  \n\nWhat You’ll Learn\n• How human psychology influences workplace behavior and team dynamics\n• Why our surroundings and interactions affect our sense of safety\, trust\, and belonging\n• How organizational culture develops beyond leadership styles and written values\n• Why understanding these psychological influences can help create healthier\, more productive workplaces \n\nDesigned for business owners\, managers\, team leaders\, and professionals interested in understanding workplace dynamics\, this session offers a different perspective on what makes organizational culture work. \nPresented by Ryan W. McClellan\, MS \nFriday\, November 13\, 2026\nCrown Center Executive Suites \nThis free\, 60-minute session offers practical knowledge for business professionals and time for questions. \n\n	Notice: JavaScript is required for this content.

SUMMARY:Lunchtime Learning: Writing Out Loud Part 3
DESCRIPTION:Writing Out Loud: Pick Your Platform and Ship\nPart 3 of a Free 3-Part Lunch & Learn Series\nYou’ve identified your expertise and started putting your ideas into words. Now\, where should you share them? \nJoin Crown Center Executive Suites for the final session of Writing Out Loud\, a three-part series designed for entrepreneurs\, solopreneurs\, and small business professionals who want to turn their knowledge and experience into content that builds credibility and visibility. \nSession 3: Pick Your Platform and Ship \nLinkedIn? Substack? A podcast? A book? There are more ways than ever to share your expertise\, but not every platform is the right fit for your business\, audience\, or schedule. \nIn this interactive session\, we’ll explore how different publishing platforms support different business goals\, what each requires in time and effort\, and how to choose an approach you can realistically maintain. We’ll also look at how to build consistency without turning content creation into another full-time job. \nYou’ll leave with a clearer understanding of which platforms make sense for your business\, a realistic publishing schedule\, and a practical 90-day plan to put your ideas into action. \nFriday\, November 20\, 2026\nCrown Center Executive Suites \nWe’ll start with a networking session\, followed by this free\, 60-minute session including practical instruction\, a hands-on planning exercise\, and time for questions.

SUMMARY:Lunchtime Learning: The Leadership Mindset
DESCRIPTION:The Leadership Mindset \nWhy We Get Stuck—and How to Move Forward\nTwo leaders can look at the same numbers\, the same market\, and the same team—and arrive at completely different decisions.
