CPE: 2

Description: The Art of Discipline and Getting Things Done provides best practices for various areas that support this culture of discipline, including time, team, and project management.

CPE: 2

Description: Making Rain - Improving Success with Retaining Clients and Attracting Prospects provides tips and techniques for ensuring that your firm has the capacity to grow and expand its book of business in a healthy way.
