SUMMARY:Business Resource Sessions - Credit Card Compliance
DESCRIPTION:Business Resource Sessions – resources & tools to grow your business! \nJoin us at the Chamber on the first Wednesday of the month from 3:00 to 4:00 to hear from and engage with industry leaders about how to grow\, protect\, and efficiently run your business. \nSPEAKER: Roderick Floyd \nTOPIC: Navigating PCI Compliance: Safeguarding Your Business from Hidden Risks and Fees \nDESCRIPTION: The compliance landscape has changed\, and any business accepting any amount of credit cards is subject to the Payment Card Industry (PCI).

Not only are you likely being charged exorbitant non-compliance fees (which is likely the reason your credit card processing fees have recently gone up) but there are also many other hidden dangers to being PCI non-compliant. Come learn how to get your business compliant.  \nSPEAKER BIO: Roderick Floyd has earned two degrees in Computer Technology and Network Security. He has enjoyed 20+ Years in the IT Industry.

The solution is to develop an effective Team Communications Charter\, in which a Team works together through the 7 Steps framework and agrees on how they will effectively communicate with one another.\n \nSPEAKER: Tony Brock of the Anthony Brock Group \nBIO: A former Intelligence Officer and Navy Commander (Ret.) turned Executive Leadership Coach\, Tony Brock leverages his talent in storytelling and experience leading high-performance teams — to include support to our U.S. Navy SEALs — to support those who step up to the challenges and responsibilities of executive leadership.

In business\, the ability to read other’s body language can be the x-factor in closing the deal\, identifying deception\, or simply recognizing that you are not doing a great job at establishing rapport and need to make immediate adjustments. Conversely\, not having the same level of awareness about yourself can significantly limit your ability to be successful and provide the same indicators to be used against you. \nSPEAKER BIO: Drawing on years of experience in counterterrorism developing counterterror operatives\, law enforcement\, and behavioral detection officers\, Michael Dailey now helps build confidence in solo entrepreneurs and small business owners as well as CEOs and senior executives who want to master the art of radical rapport-building and genuine and charismatic engagements through advanced body language techniques. \nInterested in being one of our fantastic speakers?  Submit your application here
