Vision Enactors: How To Identify Them As Staff, Contractors, Founding Partners or Collaborators/Alliances

Through research, direct observation, and interviewing, Sherry Lowry has focused deeply on developing a keen understanding of WHO actually ENACTS visions. Most of us have great ideas. Bootstrappers know nothing REALLY happens, though, until there are effective ACTIONS around such. Bottom line, something has to also be sold or put into action literally. We will have a first-hand look at what thousands agree ARE qualities, behaviors, mind-sets and core characteristics of those actually carrying out visions: their own, of their projects, and of their companies and organizations when they are employed or contracted.

Sherry Lowry has founded and led 7 business entities within 7 different industries, the smallest being a solo, the largest becoming a 20,000 client international organization. Though none focused only locally, all have been based out of her native Texas. At the time, each has been on an emerging edge. The Lowry Group for the past 17 yrs of this career has been focusing on the emerging futures of already successful business founders/owners – and their own “next great adventures.” Sometimes this is a reinvention or expansion within their existing business, or it may be actively planning their legacies. Along the way, Sherry has become something of a specialist in 5 generations in the current workplace/workforce, and it is out of this interest that her most current research has also seeded then flourished.

Getting Through Alive and Well

"If you know what to look for and how to reinforce what you've got, you can make your business grow more stable and successful. Learn what's  on the radar screen of one of Austin's chief small business strategists and activists, Jan Triplett. She will talk about the five major business killers she sees out there now and coming. Some, she says, you have control over, some you don't. She'll also tell you the three top priorities she recommends to protect your business and move ahead. (She should know having lived through and grown businesses in six previous recessions.) You can also ask her questions about what the government (city, state, national) is doing. If she doesn't have the answer, she'll get it for you.

She has published numerous articles on small business, is the author of A Networker’s Guide to Success and the co-author of Thinking Big, Staying Small.
