Top Ten Business Myths Ed Kless @edkless
description
This session is dedicated to the possibility that many myths exist about business and it would be better to rid ourselves of these ideas. Thinking about these myths is hard because it requires us to examine some of our most deeply held beliefs and either dismiss them or at least think differently about them. If you are interesting in having a conversation about business myths, you are invited to attend this session facilitated by Ed Kless, Sage senior director of partner development and strategy.
