What's New with Good Work + good resources
Dear Friends,
The orientations for our next business and organizational skills trainings
for potential and existing entrepreneurs are this week in Durham and
Chapel Hill.
We have two more community gatherings this fall. Nov 21 & Dec 10.
Connect to some of our collaborative work.
We can help you develop more balance in your life, discover ways to be
more effective, work smarter to achieve your goals, and be a better
steward of your talent, time, and resources.
You may want to learn more about how we do our work and become a local
partner for entrepreneurship and sustainable development.
