The truth is, we all could be more effective influencers.

Hardly a day passes that we aren't trying to influence others (and ourselves) in our personal and professional lives. We make efforts to remain motivated and energized in the workplace. We coach our teams to deliver projects on schedule and to our own high standards. We set goals to eat healthier and exercise more. Yet, as successful in business as we all are, when it comes to exerting our influence, there's not one of us that hasn't at times found ourselves falling short.

The Denver Business Series and the Daniels College of Business enjoyed the celebration of the season with a great selection of appetizers, cocktails, and lovely holiday lights at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. The city views were spectacular and many enjoyed a selection the museum’s most interesting dioramas.
