It wasn't that long ago, or maybe it was, when Kim Greth and Ann Scott were busy making travel reservations for Tero International Trainers, making sure rooms were ready for classes, making sure each student or executive taking the training had their printed materials. That was before March of 2020. Today Kim and Ann have become Zoom Conference Producers for Tero. How they got there, what they do now and how everything has...changed.
Today there was a raft of things going on that, once again, depressed the markets and we'll share that story and these for Thursday the 10th of September:
- Uhm, this was not supposed to happen;
- Another retailer calls it quits;
- CitiGroup made history today;
- Six Jobs/Job Skills needed now;
- The price of oil keeps dropping and why;
- Wait, how many empty apartments in Manhattan?
- It's...alive! The J.C. Penny story;
- The Wall Street Report
- Target says they will do...better.
