Stroudsburg, PA — On Wednesday, November 12^th ActionCOACH of Northeast PA hosted a free Business Workshop for local business owners and CEO’s. The workshop focused on: “How to Weather this Economic Crisis: And Increase YOUR Revenues & Profits!” Attendees were given strategies and tools to increase business performance today and to better position their businesses for the recovery.

 “Faced with the barrage of doom and gloom economic news and media opinion, it is not surprising that the recession and how to navigate its impact on the economy, is a huge concern among many business owners,” stated Richard Munson, owner ActionCOACH of Northeast Pennsylvania. “We had a tremendous turnout during the workshop. Our sponsors and ActionCOACH presented many ideas on how business owners can survive and thrive during this economic crisis. The response to the workshop was extremely overwhelming. Due to overwhelming response and reaction to this workshop, we are considering holding it again after the first of the year. ”

Scott, a small business owner from Roseto, Pennsylvania stated “Wow, what an awesome event! I just about killed the battery in my PDA taking notes. Congratulations!”

The event was sponsored by, A.J. Lupas Insurance, The Benefits Group, Pocono Business Journal, Riley and Company, Inc., WSBG, Carbon County Chamber of Commerce, Greater Hazleton Chamber of Commerce, Greater Pocono Chamber of Commerce, Greater Scranton Chamber of Commerce, and the Slate Belt Chamber of Commerce. Each sponsor was given an opportunity at the beginning of the event to give their perspective as to what business owners could and should be doing during this crisis, and even after.

Vinny Bianchi of Naussa Broadcasting, one of the sponsors, had this to say about the event, “I’ve heard Bill Skinner and Rick Munson speak many times about how to improve your business.  When Rick spoke at the conference, I still picked up a least a dozen new ideas on how, within a few hours, you can improve your bottom line in difficult economic times.  I also picked up many ideas from all of the other speakers and the reaction I’ve been getting from my presentation, even after all this time, has been very positive.”
