The Jackson County Public Library will host a free business seminar on how to create and maintain successful businesses in this current difficult economic climate.

The program is aimed at owners and employees of businesses of all sizes and types, from one-person kitchen-table operations to major organizations with dozens or even hundreds of employees.  

Ron Robinson of Land of Sky Advisory Group will lead the seminar.

He will outline the core elements for sustaining a business organization of any size: customer service, partnerships, collaboration, problem solving and re-organization.

Robinson has a bachelor of science in industrial relations from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and is certified to provide Lean Production, Continuous Improvement, Anger Management, Coaching and Mediation services to businesses and organizations. He has served as a consultant to a variety of business and corporate clients, and he will use a case study from his own experience to demonstrate to attendees how the principles he discusses have been implemented by a real-world business.

Those planning to attend are encouraged to pre-register. The program, co-sponsored by the Friends of the Jackson County Library, is free.
