X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>Every business failure leaves behind a tra
 il of warning signs &mdash\; but too often\, those signs go unnoticed\, mi
 sread\, or ignored until it's too late. This workshop takes a hard look at
  the anatomy of business distress:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>The underlying causes th
 at set decline in motion</li>\n<li>The financial and operational symptoms 
 that signal trouble</li>\n<li>The deeply human reasons why leaders so freq
 uently delay taking action</li>\n</ul>\n<p>We'll examine how distress typi
 cally unfolds &mdash\; from early-stage stress to full-blown crisis &mdash
 \; and why factors like conflict aversion\, fear of stigma\, and ego can c
 ause even experienced business owners to hesitate when decisive action is 
 most needed.</p>\n<p>Participants will leave with a sharper eye for recogn
 izing distress in its earliest stages\, a clearer understanding of the for
 ces that slow response\, and a stronger sense of why acting early &mdash\;
  even when the picture is uncertain &mdash\; nearly always leads to better
  outcomes than waiting for certainty that never comes.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>Abo
