SUMMARY:Business Excellence Session: Why Small Businesses Need a Succession Plan
DESCRIPTION:Topic: Why Small Businesses Need a Succession Plan \nDescription: A well-crafted succession plan isn’t just about retirement—it’s about protecting the business you’ve built\, ensuring continuity\, and safeguarding your employees\, clients\, and financial future. Without a plan\, businesses risk leadership gaps\, operational disruptions\, and potential loss of value. By proactively structuring ownership transitions\, developing future leaders\, and securing financial strategies\, you create a roadmap for long-term success. Whether passing the torch to family\, key employees\, or outside buyers\, succession planning ensures your business thrives beyond your tenure—preserving your hard work and legacy for generations to come. \nSpeaker: Gloria Coleman \n\n\n\n\n\n \nGloria Coleman is a dynamic speaker and powerhouse consultant who specializes in cutting through the noise and getting things done. Whether it’s streamlining messy business systems\, planning for the future\, or tackling tough decisions\, Gloria turns chaos into clarity with her signature no-nonsense\, down-to-earth approach. \nA two-time entrepreneur\, Gloria has built successful businesses that empower people to navigate life’s biggest transitions—most notably through Exit Bliss\, her consultancy focused on succession planning\, process improvement\, and operational excellence. She’s passionate about turning roadblocks into opportunities and equipping her clients with the tools and confidence to move forward\, make progress\, and thrive. \nBusiness Excellence Sessions are a series of virtual educational workshops designed to address the unique challenges businesses face in their daily operations and their journey toward overall success. Among the most common challenges are legal\, financial\, and contracting obstacles. These sessions aim to provide entrepreneurs with a platform to learn\, grow\, and apply practical knowledge to enhance their businesses. Participants will also gain insight into other community resources and opportunities available now or in the near future. Topics can cover services\, opportunities in development\, or essential information small businesses need to know. \n\n\n\n\n\nBusiness Impact NW serves clients in 3 time zones.
