“Hot Seat” Peer-to-Peer Solution Storming is just one of the new and innovative sessions being offered at the 2021 NCRA Business Summit taking place Jan. 29–31 at the Hyatt Regency Savannah in beautiful and historic Savannah, Ga.
So how does the session “Hot Seat” Peer-to-Peer Solution Storming work? Participants will be broken into groups, and each person in each group will have the chance to be in the “hot seat” and benefit from the sage advice of their peers during this interactive session. Participants will share their own experiences, what-ifs, and those twisty turns that keep them up at night and go home with solutions they can put into effect in their business. As a bonus to all participants, one person from each group will be chosen to share what was learned with the entire group.
“The 2021 NCRA Business Summit theme ‘Rise to the Challenge! Winning Approaches on Adapting to Change’ reflects the current state of pivoting we are all faced with to ensure doing business successfully. Getting a chance in the hot seat to share with your peers what issues you need insight on is just one of the many sessions planned to help attendees rise to their own challenges in today’s changing marketplace,” said NCRA President Christine Phipps, RPR, an agency owner from North Palm Beach, Fla.
