Yesterday I had the opportunity to be a #SPSPrincipalForADay at @officialSPS shadowing Mrs. Erica Rosenbaum.

It was an eye opening experience watching the teachers and other faculty support all of the children to have safe and engaging learning environments.

Great advice from Jeff Schrag with @MothersBrewing at the @LeadSGF Class 44 Business & Entrepreneurship Program Day!

How do you know when it’s time to move on? When you see the same problem for the 2nd or 3rd time and no longer care if it’s solved. What’s your exit strategy?

@OTCedu @SGFcontractors Congratulations!

[Megan Herzog @_MeganShort]

Proud of this @LeadSGF Program Day group! They’ve done a great job planning and organizing the first ever Business and Entrepreneurship Program Day for Signature Class 44. Great kickoff game this morning!

It’s great to hear the @LRSDWildcats superintendent Dr. Shawn Randles talk about the need to get in front of parents, but it’s concerning that they are even struggling with parent participation.

@sbjnet Economic Growth Series

[Megan Herzog @_MeganShort]

It’s fitting for the @OTCedu Plaster Manufacturing Center to host the Education and Business Outlook segment of the Economic Growth Series by @sbjnet

[Megan Herzog @_MeganShort]

Today’s segment of the @sbjnet #EconomicGrowthSeries is the talent war and workforce development. Who better to go over how we do as a community in attracting talent at a large scale than @matt_morrow representing @SGFChamber and the SBDC.

Attract. Retain. Develop.

Sally Payne with the @CityofSgf Dept of WFD / Ozark Region Missouri Job Center gives tips for recruiting - review job descriptions, market culture and non traditional benefits, help with childcare and transportation, and partner with higher ed.

Richard Ollis with @ollisakersarney and a @CityofSgf Council Member shows the reason we need to focus on housing to impact workforce development in Springfield. Restore SGF was modeled after a program in Des Moines to spur neighborhood renovations.

David Cameron & the @CityofRepublic are focused on being a partner with developers by building trust, removing red tape, and focusing on infrastructure needs.

“Love your neighbor as yourself.” Change the culture by developing expectations and building your team.

Can you believe the Amazon Distribution Center STL3 in the @CityofRepublic area has been open for over a year? Fun kickoff of the @sbjnet Economic Growth Series checking out the facility!

Wrapping up the @ESS_emerysapp Learn + Earn with updates from @CityofRepublic, @MoDOT_Southwest and Thessing Commercial Realty.

Construction has been busy with backlogs, but there’s still more work to come! It’s always great to hear about my hometown Republic thriving.

Way to go @ewingsignal on the panel for Navigating Market Volatility at the @ESS_emerysapp Learn + Earn SGF 2022 Event!

Lead times and inflation… Workforce Shortages… we’re all feeling market volatility in some way these days!

[Megan Herzog @_MeganShort]

The @ESS_emerysapp Learn + Earn events are back this year! Great forecast and update from FMI Consulting on Seizing the Opportunities Ahead.

[Megan Herzog @_MeganShort]

Today was a great afternoon at @417mag #LadiesWhoLaunch! Between the presentations and seeing old and new friends, it was a much needed afternoon to recharge and focus on leadership styles, networking, and focusing on intentional fun for a better life.

[Megan Herzog @_MeganShort]

If you are at @SGFTheNetwork’s #SGForum22 today, make sure you go upstairs to learn about opportunities to make a change in a local kid’s life with @BigBroBigSis!

They are around the corner from the Head Shot station - which you should take advantage of as well during a break!

[Megan Herzog @_MeganShort]

So excited for a half day of learning specifically planned for local young professionals - SGForum by @SGFTheNetwork, the under 40 group of the @SGFChamber!

It’s a great start with @themysteryjeff encouraging everyone to Make Something Where You Are!

@benverharris @jeniferabreutv @Apple @SamsungMobileUS @Hyundai @Kia @ReliableHyundai I’m just glad someone was able to figure it out! 🙆🏻‍♀️

[Megan Herzog @_MeganShort]

@benverharris @jeniferabreutv @Apple @SamsungMobileUS @Hyundai @Kia I called Hyundai Corporate and they think I can download an update! @ReliableHyundai apparently didn’t realize it was an option. They tried to sell me a new SUV at the same time.

[Megan Herzog @_MeganShort]

@jeniferabreutv @benverharris @Apple @SamsungMobileUS @Hyundai That was my plan! My car thinks it’s just an iPod.
