Notaries can make a huge difference in their communities when they ensure that customers with disabilities can access their goods and services. Notaries are required to comply with Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), but translating the legal requirements into action can be challenging.
Aimed at helping break down the law and the benefits of inclusion, this webinar will:
-Discuss how the ADA applies to notaries;
-Review the importance of accessible policies & procedures
– i.e. service animals, policy modifications, effective communication;
-Disability Etiquette Discussion
– Review of various types of disabilities and tips on effective and respectful communication;
-Introduce a free, web-based toolkit that supports small businesses as they seek to welcome community members as both customers and employees.
As someone who feels called to step into self-employment and create a purposeful business, you’ve probably noticed there are MANY ways to market your services—social media, Email, Paid Ads, etc. However, one of the most effective (and low- to no-cost) ways to market has stood the test of time… Networking is a powerful way to build trust, connection, and lasting relationships, yet for many individuals it can feel overwhelming, intimidating, or transactional…but it doesn’t have to.
In this engaging talk, Jen Shultz, Founder of The Non-Nine-to-Five™, will teach you 5 Unique Steps to Network with Intention & Confidence —steps she created and has used for over a decade to build her coaching and education business, The Non-Nine-to-Five™.
In this webinar, you’ll learn:
• 5 Unique Steps Jen developed and has successfully used for over a decade to build her own thriving business with confidence and how you can apply them right away.
• How to approach networking with a plan, instead of showing up and hoping for the best.
• Why expecting “to get” clients or customers from networking is actually working against you.
• Why you don’t really need business cards and how relying on them may be stopping you from new opportunities.
• How to feel a sense of ease when networking.
