    The Sul Ross State University/Rio Grande College Small Business Development Center and the Eagle Pass Chamber of Commerce combined their efforts to invite small business owners to witness motivational speaker Jennifer Webb who informed them of how to find ways to communicate with their employees to get the most out of them on a daily basis.
    The seminar focused on leadership and management skills which are essential to creating a cohesive workforce, the skills needed to thrive within the corporate environment and techniques to influence others and create trust.
    Marisela Brown of the Small Business Development center informed The News Gram of the fact that 30 such owners took advantage of the seminar.
    "I wish our community would show more initiative and support to sessions such as these.  We try to bring these specialized training sessions to our small business community.  Everybody is welcome."
    Ms. Brown said it was a leadership training which helped business owners to understand the different kinds of personalities of employees and staff members in order to have a better relationship with them for them to perform best for the company.   
    Webb also went to Del Rio and Uvalde to meet with business owners there on Tuesday.
