The Possibility Institute will offer classes, teleclasses, and a unique business forum format to help local executives and businesses improve personal and organizational results.

North Augusta, SC, November 16, 2010 — Possibilities Amplified announced today the opening of The Possibility Institute, located at Jackson Square at 336 Georgia Avenue, Suite 207.  The Institute offers three one-day workshops in December and January, all designed to help individuals and businesses prepare to achieve amplified outcomes in 2011.

“In today’s economy, each of us needs to not only expand our vision of what’s possible and available to us, but be able to access those possibilities and turn them into reality.  That’s the key thrust of all of the Institute’s training,” said executive director Kim Romaner.

In addition to classes and teleclasses, The Institute will offer three levels of business membership that will bring local executives and business owners together to discuss challenges, learn new business development techniques, and offer advice and encouragement to each other.

“Our most exciting membership is The Possibility Institute Forum for women CEOs and senior executives.  Eight to ten women will be hand selected per forum group to serve as a peer advisory group to each other, with the guidance of a professional facilitator,” said Romaner.  “This format has been shown to be quite effective for members in major metropolitan areas such as Miami and Boston.”
