Behind the Smoke in Mirrors:
What the Numbers Really Mean

stress

You’ve reviewed the numbers several times. Something seems “off” to you, but your client insists they are correct.

As a Commercial Real Estate Professional, interpreting financial statements can be a challenging feat, especially when you’re trying to read them from your client’s viewpoint.

Join us for an interactive and educational lunch and become more savvy on financial matters.

  • Learn the terminology and key buzz words

  • Understand the basics components of financial statements including how to read an income statement and a balance sheet (or get a refresher)

  • Hear the current issues as it relates to financial statement presentation and disclosures for real estate companies

  • Become an expert on deciphering what the financial statements are really telling you

  • Gain a better understanding of what banks are really reviewing and what they’re looking for

  • Learn how to recognize red flags that things are not as them seem
    Study a case of a deteriorating business

By the end of the program, you’ll really be able to tell what’s behind the smoke in the mirror!

Pre-register and you will receive handouts in advance which will be used during the program’s case study.

Dress to Impress: Putting it All Together
A Members Only Conversation Over Coffee

woman

We’ve heard it before: First impressions are everything. First impressions are made within the first 3-5 seconds of meeting someone. First impressions are paramount to your success.

But has your company relaxed its dress code? Are you wondering how to go from board room to networking event?

This seminar offers sound guidance on what is appropriate dress in the business environment, what your body language is communicating to others and how, coupled together, you can create your personal “power pose” when you enter a room.

Our presenters will highlight practical ideas for dressing the part and will discuss how to make your outward appearance leave a lasting and memorable impression.

In addition to the presentations, there will be a professional photographer on hand to take your photo for self promotion. Corporate headshots provided by Brad D'Amico Photography.

Each participant will receive a high resolution corporate headshot, a Nordstrom’s gift bag and a chance to win a $50 Nordstrom gift card.
