Workshop Info

S. O. S. - Sharpen Our Skills is BACK!

Exciting news! We are bringing back the learning aspect to our Coffees - S.O.S. - Sharpen Our Skills. S.O.S. is a mini-workshop (10 minutes or less) conducted at our TGIF Coffees to help our membership and their guests learn a skill or topic they can implement in personal, family or business life.

Each month we will feature a specific skill - we will provide some quick and easy guides (1-page document) to help you take away learning for that skill. Monthly guides will be published here for easy access. Easy, relatable, and fast implementation!

Isn't it time we "Sharpened Our Skills?"
