Feb 27 Lunch & Learn
2026-02-27 11:45 - 13:00 | Gezellig, 107 Central Ave NE, Orange City, 51041, United States
From Survival to Sustainability: Leading Your Business from a Place of Wholeness
Leading an organization and running a small business often means carrying much more than anyone sees—pressure, uncertainty, responsibility, and the quiet weight of always being “on.” From Survival to Sustainability: Leading Your Business from a Place of Wholeness is a lunch-and-learn designed specifically for OC Chamber member merchants and small business owners who want to move beyond constant hustle and into a healthier, more grounded way of leading.
Together, we’ll explore how anxiety shows up in business ownership, why balance can feel so elusive, and how leading authentically—from the inside out—creates sustainability not just for your business, but for you as a human being.
