Holiday Traditions in your Business

Some 95% of consumers plan to purchase candy to celebrate Halloween this year. Indications are Thanksgiving and Christmas purchases will be the same. With many activities still cancelled and life still not quite back to normal, many consumers are desperate for a sense of tradition, fun, or joy and the holidays will be a main focus this year. Make sure you are leveraging this need in your business! Source: Prosper Insights & Analytics.

Final Note...

Respect the Differences

In an age of polarization, confirmation bias and trust issues, engaging with those who have different opinions is even more essential than ever in work culture. The art of compromise also holds extreme value.

When we value multiple interpretations and opinions, we get a well-rounded skill set for problem solving, perspectives, learning styles and a respect for others. We cannot grow as a business, organization or community without valuing this diversity.

Sincerely,

Candi Westbrook

Executive Director
