Details for the July 10th Meeting
 
We will be meeting at The Pirates House this Friday in our normal meeting room - Captain Flints Hall.  
 
Our speaker for the meeting this week is our very own Gordon Matthews. He will introduce his Nine Gifts methodology for recognizing how all people operate– providing insights he has used to build leadership teams at Chatham Steel and Savannah Bee Company. Over the last 10 years, he has also been sharing this content with students at Armstrong/GSU, Savannah State and St. Andrews.  Additionally, Gordon will introduce you to his Chatbot named
www.NineGifts.org which you can utilize after his presentation for personal development and for new insights into inter-personal challenges.
 
RCSE looks forward to seeing all members and guests on Friday!
