Learn to think like a CEO, not just a doer. Dr. Mechelle Roberthon shares how to sustain and grow your business with strategy.
About this Event

Join the705 for our next Dinner & Development with Dr. Mechelle Roberthon!

Most entrepreneurs start with a skill, not a strategy. You’re great at what you do—but no one teaches you how to build and manage a business around that talent. This session gets real about the balancing act of entrepreneurship—whether you’re a team of one or leading a small crew while juggling everything from bookkeeping to branding.

Join Dr. Mechelle Roberthon, CEO of MKR Development, for a conversation on how to move beyond “doing the work” and start thinking like the leader of your business. You’ll explore how to understand your financial rhythm, set boundaries, make smart operational decisions, and lead yourself before you ever lead a team.

It’s time to shift from simply sustaining the hustle to strategically growing your enterprise—with the confidence and mindset of a true CEO.

About the Speaker:
Dr. Mechelle Roberthon is a Certified Professional in Talent Development (CPTD), Modern Classroom Certified Trainer (MCCT), Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS), and a certified Hogan Assessments administrator. As the CEO of MKR Development, an organizational development firm dedicated to helping organizations create workplaces that work at every level, Dr. Roberthon brings a wealth of expertise in leadership and learning. She earned her Doctor of Education in Learning and Organizational Change from Baylor University.


Dinner will be provided. This is a members-only event.
