NANOTECHNOLOGY COMMERCIALISM AND BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT TRAINING
Bridging the gap between science and business has always been a dilemma - a widening gap that has watched the genius of many life saving ideas wash down the drain. This gap is known as the "Valley of Death" between research idea development and its commercialization.
Dr Sherron Sparks has taken her interest and studies of Nanotechnology, her 30 years in small business development, graduate studies in Industrial/Organizational Psychology and experiential knowledge in business development, coaching and training to the drawing board and has become a catalyst the field of Nanotechnology Commercialism. Helping to bridge the "Valley of Death" by assisting scientists as they take their concept to commercial production is an individual journey. "I have seen many ideas stolen and people cheated out of their legacy because they do not know how to protect themselves," says Dr. Sparks. "This program is a combination of careful mentoring and the strategic navigation of business development within the realm of Nanotechnology."
The mentoring program will begin in August. Applications are being taken from researchers with mature ideas through late June. For more information on this year's program contact Dr Sparks at 814-689-2816.
Dr Sparks is currently writing a book on the Commercialism of Nanotechnology that is due for release early 2010. She is speaking across the country on the subject.
SUCCESSION DEVELOPMENT TRAINING
There comes a time when it is time to step down in a company or to move on. Business owners need to be cognizant of the needs of their business and the type of people they want to lead their company when they retire. Often the baton is handed to a child, or upcoming star of the company. Rewarding them is wonderful, but they may not have all the knowledge needed to run the company successfully. That is where succession development training comes in. We at Sparks Business Institute will work with you to create a plan of succession and make sure that your next leader has the skills, and ability to lead the company into the future.
Call today to set up an appointment and let's talk about your needs for the future. 717-513-0011 or 814-689-2816. It is a call you will be glad you made.
CEO TRAINING
Strong core succession, skills are critical for women to compete effectively for higher level positions. The great disparity of higher-level positions going to men occurs because men are groomed early on for success by their mentors, while women are relegated to mid management and so-called gender appropriate positions.
Women have few mentors on the job and must obtain this support either from their male counterparts who just do not think and communicate as women do, or from other women executives in national organizations or women’s groups, but there is little one-to-one coaching or mentoring available.
The 12 step Professional Development Succession Planning model will give both men and women the skills they need to develop into candidates for higher-level positions.
EXECUTIVE WOMEN CAREER PATHING TRAINING
Women need to be aware of the different seasons of their life. They need to acknowledge the serial life patterns of unique times of hibernation, renewal, postponement and actualization.
Fitzgerald (1978) states that a woman’s formation of self-identity is one of the fundamental differences between the sexes, with a women’s identity significantly delayed because of expectations ascribed to her feminine identity.
Women are literally the “hand that rocks the cradle of society” and need to understand the seasons of their life and the time to step forward to take their place in leadership. This hand on the cradle of our youth needs to be strong - the world needs women both at home and at the board table. A women’s career choices are greatly influenced by home and family responsibilities.
The 12 Step Professional Development Succession Planning model is designed to help women to find the delicate balance in life between work and home. This program can help professional women prove themselves on an equal playing field and become all they were created to be.
BUSINESS START-UP AND BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT TRAINING
Whether you have the natural charismatic style that wins people over, or the quiet methodical number crunching personality who diligently hovers so there are no mistakes, in business it is key to learn what your alter ego would do.
Business owners often will hire someone to handle the things they do not know how to do - great strategy if you can trust people unconditionally with your hard earned money and secrets to the company.
Learning the basics so you know where to look if there is trouble is key to the success of your business. Also, many people can not afford to hire at first and must do all of the steps in the beginning of their business. You will find no greater training for success, although it is exhausting and takes time away from what you do best.
Sparks Business Institute Business Start-up and Business Development Training will take you through the core business skills and help you to focus on the areas that are giving you trouble. We are serious about your success!
