Karen Norheim worked the ranks of her father’s business until he handed her the reins.
Then the pandemic hit and, a year later, her father died. She had to lead through crisis and grief.
She says having the support of her Vistage coach and peers has been invaluable — helping her reboot the culture, innovate and increase sales.

Interview of the Month |
|
Utilizing Expensive Reduction Analysis Within Small Business with Michael Roberts |
|
|
|
|
|
I had the pleasure to interview Michael in April and posted the interview to my website under past events.
Michael is leads a team of experts who can analyze and negotiate lower costs for services like Utilities, Insurance, Freight, and many more.
I used a company like this over twenty years ago when I owned a manufacturing company and realized substantial savings Utilities, Freight, and other services that we would never have anticipated or accomplished on our own.
Take it from me, it is worth a look. There is no cost to you as the fees are deducted from the savings. |
