What if you can learn from 6 expert speakers how to improve your speaking, writing, and communicating skills that will set you up for success in 2015?In 2007, Starbucks faced a serious crisis that resulted in the closure of 600 stores, and a drop of 42 percent in stock prices. Learning from CEOs like Steve Jobs who have led successful turnarounds, Howard Schultz returned to Starbucks as CEO to steer the company he bought out of the decline. The turnaround took more than two years, but it raised its stock price to more than 350 percent from its 2008 lows. In 2011, Starbucks has more than $10 billion in revenue, and employs 150,000 people worldwide. As Howard Schultz says, "In life, you can blame a lot of people and you can wallow in self-pity, or you can pick yourself up and say, 'Listen, I have to be responsible for myself.'"Successful people know that nobody owes them a living.
