About the Presentation

Understanding the linkage is key to profitably leading a business through an emotional time.

Rising interest rates are a threat to the economy, businesses, and wealth creation if not handled properly. One of the factors pushing interest rates higher is inflation risk. Understanding the drivers of inflation, and thus the potential magnitude of interest rate rise, will be part of this webinar. There are leading indicator trends that go back 22 months telling us about the next phase of the inflation cycle. That inflation cycle will have a significant impact on the course of interest rates through the next 12–24 months.

There is an emotional element to rising interest rates that must be understood. Doing so will enable us to look beyond the emotions to garner a better understand of the timing and magnitude of the change coming our way. If inflation abates somewhat, the impact of today’s trend likely won’t be felt until post 2023 or 2024. If inflation remains as problematic as it is today, the doom-and-gloom perspective has more credibility.

Join us at our July webinar in which Brian and Alan will lay out a coherent, logical perspective on the dual threat of inflation and higher interest rates – devoid of fear.

This event is sponsored by Chief Outsiders, an organization dedicated to helping mid-size companies build the marketing engine they need to accelerate growth.
