September 16-18 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
If you own, manage or plan to invest in a spa, this program is a must.
If you?re already involved in spa operations, the Spa Director?s Management Intensive will help you tackle your toughest management challenges. If you?re planning to open or acquire a spa, you?ll leave this program with a clear understanding of the potential risks and rewards. If you?re considering a career change or advancement into spa management, the Spa Director?s Management Program will put you miles ahead of the competition.
Unlike most management training courses, the Spa Director?s Management Intensive is rigorously updated and relevant to the current business climate. Hot button-topics like yield management and recession-era employee morale issues are part of the curriculum. Unlike most other consulting/education firms, we actually own and operate a successful 27 year old day spa in California with fifty employees. We?re in the trenches with you in this difficult business climate?we have to walk our talk. We share what?s working now.
Class size is limited for maximum interaction with the instructor. Registration closes September 13, 2012.
