MERIDIAN, Miss- September 22, 2011- “On target and very practical,” said one. “I can…apply it,” said another. The demand for Nexus Hero Workshops continues to grow.
“In my opinion the topic is right on target and very practical,” said Bruce Hanson, an entrepreneur facilitator for East Mississippi Community College Community. “Many times such presentations are full of acronyms and technical terms that chase away the attendee. This on the other hand is straight forward. I think this needs exposure to as many people as possible.”
Kimberly K. Turner of Newton was equally enthusiastic.
“I enjoyed it for the second time,” said Turner. “I feel that I can take the information gained in the seminar and apply it to my life in a new market.”
Hanson’s comments came after a September 9 Nexus Hero Workshop at East Mississippi Community College in Scooba. Turner’s comments came after an August 23 workshop at the Newton County Chamber of Commerce.
“I received information I was not aware of and have never heard of” has become a typical response to the workshops.
