BCE Blog: Are you a planner?

By Paula Scott, BCE Executive Director
Posted by Icon K on February 6, 2020 - 6:00am

The latest BCE events have me asking myself, “am I a planner?” Both the Business Plan Competition and the latest Brown Bag Discussion on succession planning, make me realize that looking ahead comes easy at some phases in life and harder at others.

Succession Planning
When I talked to folks about the succession planning event, many said that they “should” attend. In retrospect, I imagine it feels--perhaps unconsciously--disloyal to consider that discussion. Kind of like going to see a divorce lawyer when you’re happily married!
