A lunch series to encourage
ACTION + GROWTH
Personally and professionally, we’re at our best when we’re pushing boundaries, shaking things up a bit to allow for growth and adapting to changes. Making shifts or tweaks in business is not only good, it’s often necessary. MakeShift is a lunch series created in partnership with the Jackson Chamber-- maybe you'll be inspired to make a shift but you will most certainly leave with action steps to move your business or project forward. Come to all of them or pick just the weeks that sound the most applicable to where you are right now in business and life.
Who is it for?
Anyone who is open to being challenged-- maybe you’re a seasoned business owner, maybe you’re looking to move forward in your field, maybe you’ve just come up with the next big idea. Make a shift with us.
Tickets include lunch: $20 each week– $10 off if you register for all three.

Extra time is a luxury many business owners feel like we don’t have. Balancing time in your business to think about its growth, and then time for family/friends can get exhausting. But if the last couple of pandemic years have taught us anything, it’s that downtime and slowing our pace has many benefits. Ginger Williams will help us explore shifts that can be made in our businesses by reevaluating the margins we build in daily systems. Ginger will share how she attempts to match her priorities to her schedule and you’ll leave with the tools to create margins as you grow your business too.
