TESTIMONIALS
"I have been amazed at how much I have learned from Amy and the Growth Wheel presentation. It is a powerful tool for me to be able to help my member businesses. I am a former business owner and I wish I could have taken this presentation then.
So many things that could have helped save us a lot of money and headaches. Thanks to the Illinois SBDC at the Starved Rock Country Alliance for putting this together.

I just went through Amy Lambert's teaching of the Powered for Growth series. It was absolutely wonderful. I have already recommended it to my local entrepreneur friends.
Amy did a great job of explaining each business concept and giving us live examples that were applicable to each of our businesses. As I grow my business I know that I will continue to rely on the worksheets our series covered. Powered for Growth is a solid foundation to build any business on.

"The Powered for Growth cohort was a very pleasant experience. I was exposed to topics that I hadn't considered and they were presented in a worksheet format which gave me a framework to process my thoughts.
The sessions were timely and the delivery was professional but also approachable. I did not have any anxiety coming into the session or finishing a session.
I would recommend this seminar to others because it is a great way to start important business conversations. Thank you, Amy, for consistently presenting these sessions over the course of 5 weeks! Your dedication is commendable.
