Then mark your calendar for the next Business Education Class, happening Thursday, June 5 at 2:00 p.m. in the Columbus Community Room, located in the Columbus Community Building at 2500 14th Street.

Collaboration and Communication: How To Work Well Together

This June class — "Collaboration and Communication: How to Work Well Together" — will be led by Sheila Jenkinson, host of the Growing Small Town Nebraska Podcast.

Sheila brings a unique and inspiring perspective gained from traveling throughout Nebraska and beyond, where she connects with small towns and uncovers what really works in creating healthier, more vibrant communities. Her experience and insights will help you shift your mindset to view other businesses and organizations not as competition, but as allies working toward the same mission: a thriving community, now and in the future.

Sheila Will Share

In this session, Sheila will share:

  • Stories of collaboration and positivity from guests of her podcast

  • Practical ideas for fostering communication within your team and beyond

  • Tips on how to become an advocate and fan of your fellow entrepreneurs

  • Inspiration to build up your local network through shared goals

Sheila’s background as a travel influencer, speaker, and seasoned broadcaster adds depth and authenticity to her message. She produces seven episodes a month on her podcast, collaborates with other major voices in the region, and continues to be a strong advocate for small-town success.

Don’t miss this opportunity to hear from one of Nebraska’s most passionate small-town champions — and leave with real tools to strengthen your business or organization through collaboration.
