At The Law Firm of Douglas G. Jackson, we believe that when small businesses thrive, communities do too — and that spirit was alive and well at our latest Business Education Network (BEN) Workshop!
Held in the heart of downtown St. Petersburg, this session brought together professionals, entrepreneurs, and thought leaders for an afternoon of learning, connection, and impact. We were honored to welcome an all-star speaker lineup, including:
Debbie Viveiros from The Bank of Tampa, who gave us an inside look at Leadership St. Pete and the power of community engagement.
Donald Dettloff of Freedom Boat Club, who broke down Sales The Right Way, emphasizing relationships over transactions.
Debra Schweikowsky of Florida SBDC at Pinellas County, who provided a clear overview of the no-cost resources available to help small businesses succeed.
Jason Avery, best-selling author and CEO of Avery Construction, who energized the room with a dynamic session on how behavior influences growth and referability.
The event featured interactive discussions, light refreshments, and — most importantly — a room full of motivated individuals ready to level up their business practices.
To all who joined us: thank you. Your presence and participation are what make BEN such a valuable program. This initiative is more than just a workshop — it’s a growing network of professionals committed to supporting and uplifting one another.
We can’t wait to host you again. Be sure to follow us for updates on upcoming events and ways you can stay involved.
