SUMMARY:IN PERSON-How to Have Fun in 2024
DESCRIPTION:March 26th 10am-4pm \nIN PERSON AT IAC \nMembers $140/Non Members $190\nIn 2024 it is really important for people to enjoy what they do in order to be committed to what they do. We often think of work as a four-letter word\, but it is so much more. If you can make the job of a DSP more fun and interesting you will retain staff longer\, create a better environment\, and you won’t dread going into work yourself. This class is to help find the fun in what we do rather than the ugh!
