I would like to participe since it is a modality that would benefit all entrepreneurs and in turn we could acquire new perspectives from other people who will clearly have other coherent thoughts and thus be able to achieve success

Hello,
I'd like to attend "developing creative thinking in your team" because I think that working creativity in work teams gives interesting benefits and increases workers motivation and growness. Regards,
Víctor Hernández Bonilla.

I agree. The topic is very varied because it is necessary to attract different opinions in the teams, since the benefits are for the whole company. In addition, personal and professional growth will be noticed.

Hello, how are you Victor?
The truth is that it is an excellent option that you have chosen to be able to work as a team since more ideas flow and that way the work goes well, I support your idea.
Cheers Nuri G.

I would like to attend to everyone because I am a businesswoman. I manage a pharmacy and have a small but challenging staff. I think these conferences would help me a lot.
