Coffee with Leaders - November 2025 11/18/2025 8:30 AM - 11/18/2025 10:00 AM

Thu, 07 Nov 2024 15:22:31 GMT

This event is open to Greater Raleigh Chamber members only.

Registration | 8:30 - 9 a.m.
Program | 9 - 10 a.m.

In today’s rapidly changing economic climate, staying comfortable is the fastest route to falling behind. Rising tariffs, tightening credit, and growing signs of a potential recession are reshaping the landscape for small and mid-sized businesses. This session will challenge business leaders to reexamine five critical areas—financial, operational, strategic, customer, and people - to identify where complacency may be costing them future growth.

Attendees will walk away knowing how to:
•   Spot where comfort is costing you growth.
Learn how to recognize the silent signs of stagnation hiding in your financials, operations, and leadership decisions—and uncover where small shifts today can prevent painful corrections later.
•   Build agility that outlasts the economy.
Walk away with practical strategies to strengthen cash flow, protect margins, and stay lean without sacrificing momentum—so your business can move faster than market change.
•   Turn disruption into your strategic advantage.
Discover how to use economic pressure as a catalyst for innovation, realignment, and stronger positioning—so you’re not just surviving what’s coming, you’re leading through it.

Our session will be led by Michelle A Campbell, CPA, CMA, CSCA, and Certified Tax Planner. Under Michelle’s visionary leadership, Time Value Accounting has evolved from a small bookkeeping practice into a dynamic, multi-disciplinary business services firm. A passionate entrepreneur and hands-on business owner, Michelle is committed to building lasting relationships with her clients and helping them unlock their full potential.

Throughout her career, she has been a trusted partner to small business owners, offering the insight and expertise needed to drive growth, boost efficiency, and increase profitability. Her collaborative approach focuses on developing smart strategies that not only sustain day-to-day operations but also position businesses for long-term success.

Michelle holds a Master of Science in Finance and is a Certified Public Accountant, Certified Management Accountant, Certified in Strategy and Analysis, and a Certified Tax Planner—credentials that reflect her deep expertise and dedication to excellence.
