Keynote Speech for Franchises and Meetings


Join Jean Kuhn, successful owner of 2 franchises since 2002, as she takes veterans and new franchisees alike through a fun and enlightening path as we look at the relationship between franchise owners and their franchises, and how owning a franchise is much like being in a marriage. Anyone who has been married more than 10 minutes will agree there are times when we could just use a little bit of counseling to smooth our relationship out. Join Jean on the “couch” won’t you as she explores this Love/Hate relationship.
