A new impactful and practical workshop designed to inspire entrepreneurs to put their talent-acquisition plan and ideas into practice right away will be presented by Rich Koerner, founder and president of RA Koerner & Company, as part of the Entrepreneurial Education Program series at the Fredonia Technology Incubator.
Topics to be addressed at the Wednesday, Dec. 2, workshop include: defining can-do, will-do and right-fit; what it means to hire “smarter” people than oneself; why this is the No. 1 way to find talent; how to implement the “blast-off” strategy and how to sell opportunity without over-selling.

Earlier in his career, Mr. Koerner served in human resources and management positions with Texas Instruments, International Playtex and Cliffstar Corporation.
