Learning at Vitality Skincare 

Tina Prior, Owner of Vitality Skin Care, became interested in her profession while on vacation and continually hones her skills by attending training at Lake Land College and continuing educational seminars. Now she educates her clients about skin care health. Her business has grown and now she also provides massages, yoga and reiki. 


 
The Value of Employee Health

Susan Hanfland, owner of SCH Consulting and yoga instructor for Vitality Skin Care, discussed the benefits of yoga and other meditative practices. Preventative healthcare is a trending industry and for every $1 dollar spent in preventative medicine, a person usually save $3 in healthcare costs.

Then the students learned a few moves and were told that the most important step is to breathe.








Discussing Good Reads

We started out the week with Mason discussing the book, How to Sell Anything to Anybody, by Joe Girard. He discussed the sales process and how to track your success.  

Ridge discussed Dave Ramsey's, TheTotal Money  Makeover, which is a book full of helpful advice on how to stick to a budget and manage your money. Dave's motto, "If you will live like no one else, later you can live like no one else" really hit home to him.

Emma Boyer discussed Walter Isaacson's Steve Jobs, that tells the history of the extreme visionary and Apple founder. His design and marketing instinct transformed many tech industries.

Julia Griffin discussed Daniel Pink's Drive, a study on what motivates people and how to become better and more productive.
We are so thankful for the generosity of the Coles County businesses that sponsor ClassE.
