Online Event: Responding to Reality.
Thursday April 30 at 7:00PM
US Federal assistance did not play out as advertised and it has left many small organizations and freelancers in the States in a difficult, frightening, and frustrating position. I have asked back financial consultant Darren Baer to re-address this issue and its current realities. How we maneuver in adversity can be a defining moment for any organization or individual. Please join Darren and me as we look at the reality of where things stand now, and discuss creative approaches and strategies for moving forward.

Darren Baer
Darren Baer is a financial consultant and coach with a track record of bringing together stakeholders with diverse interests at all organizational levels; the foundation required to bring a vision to reality. Darren's unique background blends decades of experience in creating new businesses, strategic planning, corporate finance, and development of talent and culture. Darren's focus on client relationships delivers stronger returns and increased lifetime value for his clients.
During his career, Darren has been responsible for building four businesses from start up to maturity stage. A hands-on leader, he was actively involved in all aspects of the business from planning, market analysis, business requirements development, operational planning, profit and loss analysis and forecasting and strategy creation. He has also served in a CRO/CFO/CEO role in a number of companies as a turnaround consultant and crisis manager.
The experience gained in building those businesses and his subsequent training as an Executive Coach, have given Darren a broad understanding of the importance of the cultural dynamics of a company.

Using a wide range of tools, Darren is able to help a company understand how its culture is impacting its results and to implement solutions to improve the cultural dynamic. This creates a foundation for sustainable change and financial results. Darren Baer is Collaborator in Chief to OneTree Collaborations otree.xyz.
