Yum! Associate Professor of Franchise Management Practice, Director of the Yum! Center for Global Franchise Excellence at University of Louisville and Podcast Host of FranchiseU
Thank you, Ron Gardner, for sharing your inspiring journey with my Collaboration and Negotiation class today! Your story from humble beginnings to becoming a top franchise attorney kept us captivated. Here are some key takeaways from your impactful session: - It's never too late to pursue your dreams. - Life's journey is full of twists and turns, not always linear. - Collaboration is crucial in challenging situations. - Listening is a vital skill in effective collaboration. - When negotiating, clarity on your goals and open communication are key. - Understanding your priorities and passions is essential. It was interesting to learn that your dedication to representing franchisees stems from a desire to support individuals investing their life savings in a franchise, navigating challenges posed by a few "bad actors," which can happen in any industry. Your candid sharing and engaging storytelling kept us captivated, and your insight into the law school experience - described as scary, hard, and boring across three years - offered valuable perspective to aspiring legal professionals. Thank you once again, Ron, for your time and valuable contribution to the Yum! Center for Global Franchise Excellence. Your honesty, humor, and expertise are truly appreciated!
