What past Savvies say about it...
“This was the Program I so needed but didn’t know I did.”
“My confidence in my leadership skills went from zero to a thousand! I have so many new tools, techniques, and insights to draw from.”
“The SAVVY topics reminded us of how we needed to grow in various areas to continue to be successful.”
“The best part about the course was learning from others and knowing we weren't alone.”
“Savvy helped me step away from the day to day and focus on the business of running a business. A time to think things through at the macro level whilst getting incredible content from Ingrid and the perspective of other local business owners facing the same struggles.”
