Aug 18    What Really Motivates You and Your Employees?

What Really Motivates You and Your Employees?
(You Probably Don’t Know)
  • Most of us know our personality types, behavioral styles and strengths. We’ve done the profiles and assessments and they have helped but….
  • What about our core motivators? Those specific things that put a bounce in our step, makes us go the extra mile and even jazzes us to do more!
  • The sad news is that most employees and their bosses don’t know. Until now!
This special workshop:
  • Based on the book, What Motivates Me: Put Your Passions to Work, by NYT bestselling authors Adrian Gostick and Chester Elton, participants discover their “motivational drivers” and how to use them to become much more motivated and engaged at work!
  • Participants take the Motivators Assessment (a $40 value - free for this training). This assessment is powerful, research-validated, and comes from workplace surveys of over 850,000 people! 
Presented by Andy Taylor, ACC, Executive Coach

Aug 20    Happy Tails Chicken BBQ

Happy Tails Daycare and Pet Resort will hold Chicken BBQ's on Saturday, August 20, September 17 and October 15 from  11 am until gone. Happy Tails is located at 11929 East Corning Road, Corning, NY. The meals will be prepared by the North Corning Fire Department and will include 1/2 chicken, salt potatoes, macaroni salad, baked beans and a drink. The cost is $10.00 per person. Call (607) 377-5757 and reserve one today.


The funds raised will go towards making the needed renovations to the bus to accommodate as many as 40 dogs in crates.

For further information, you may contact Happy Tails at (607)377-5757 or happytails1@stny.rr.com. 


In 2005, Hurricane Katrina devastated the gulf coast and left many people and pets without their homes. In 2012, Hurricane Sandy hit the east coast and destroyed many homes and businesses. Closer to home in 2011, Binghamton was flooded due to Tropical Storm Lee. Recently, there was a fire at a nearby boarding facility which housed numerous dogs and it left them without options to shelter the pets. A few pets’ lives were lost.
These horrible events left many people and their pets without their homes.
Happy Tails Day Care & Pet Resort has recently purchased a used school bus to be turned into the "F.E.R. (fire, emergency, rescue) Waggin' ".
"It is rare to find a school bus that has air conditioning," states Elaine Walker, owner of Happy Tails.  "This one recently became available through a broker.  We had been talking about this need for a couple of years.  It is a large part of the Emergency Plan for our facility and believe it will help meet the needs of local Fire Departments, shelters, boarding facilities, and Veterinarian offices."

The F.E.R Waggin' will be used to help pets in the area displaced due to floods, fires, and other emergency situations. It will also be used by Happy Tails, i.e. as a way to transport dogs to dog swim at the end of the summer.
