Susan Williams recently participated in a Master Class on The Power of Beliefs in Business, along with 24 other business leaders from across the country. The class, taught by Ari Weinzweig, owner of Zingerman’s Delicatessen, followed the book that he authored in 2016. Since the five week class, she has continued to meet with participants and further explore how their beliefs influence what they do in business.

At our Venango Chamber Board retreat, we considered the beliefs that we currently hold around the work of the Chamber, understanding that along with our mission, vision and values, our beliefs underlie every single thing we do, in every part of our organization.

Our Board and staff focused on exploring positive beliefs we hold about the Chamber. We identified three of our top beliefs and will be sharing more about each of them and how they relate to our work with members and our community. The beliefs we highlighted as our top three were:
1. We believe small actions make a big difference.
2. We believe strong relationships are key to our success and we are stronger together than apart.
3. We believe in learning, teaching, and lavishly sharing information.
