Calling all growth-minded leaders, managers, and professionals in the public, private, and nonprofit sectors of Colfax, Las Animas, and Huerfano Counties!

Join Ann Theis, Synthia Laura Molina, and others at the Colfax Ale Cellar and partake in some practical coaching, productive collaboration, and pleasing cuisine at May’s CORE Business Mixer—and acquire some fresh thinking, techniques, and tools to boost your business results in and beyond Northern New Mexico and Southern Colorado.

Enjoy a lively, come-as-you-are event and (1) network with other locals who can help your business grow; (2) learn how business structures, systems, and stories can enhance your company revenues, operating efficiencies, and earnings growth; and (3) master the six functional areas of a business, activity-based costing, and the compelling business pitch.

Evening Highlights

Learn the six functional areas of an exceptionally well-run enterprise—and develop a common language of business with your peers so you can talk shop, share tips, and succeed together.
See first-hand how structured folders, structured templates, and structured file names can be a game-changer in increasing your efficiencies, effectiveness, and edge in business. Share your learnings to build stronger strategic alliances, mastermind groups, and problem-solving capabilities.

Practice using a simple Excel-based template to calculate the costs of both commonplace and hidden activities essential to your business success, avoid cash-flow crises, and retain more of your earnings.
Identify the key elements of a great business pitch—and package your story in a one-sheet or two-pager for strategic hiring, alliance building, and fundraising.
Practice your 30-second pitch with peers—and put your pen to paper to craft a compelling story about your business…a story that gets you the resources you need!
