Some highlights of the Guidant Children learning the ropes today...

Like any new employee's first day, it started with
welcome 'high-fives' from the team.



 




Next, it was in to the Training Room to learn the biz.



After that: a brainstorm.





Of course, there were also important meetings.

Jeff Levy, who co-authored Making the Jump into Small Business Ownership with Guidant CEO & Cofounder David Nilssen, recently spoke at the University of Washington Foster School of Business to students and alumni of the TMMBA and Executive MBA programs.

His lecture centered on what it takes to achieve success in small business ownership and how to overcome common obstacles in the entrepreneurial path.
