SMALL BUSINESS SOLUTIONS HUB: BUILDING BETTER TEAMS
Practical strategies for developing stronger employees and more confident leaders

Strong businesses are built by strong leaders, but many managers miss opportunities to help employees grow. At this month's Small Business Solutions Hub, leadership coach Christine Silver of Silver Business Solutions will bust five common myths that prevent managers from coaching effectively and share practical techniques that help employees become more confident, self-sufficient, and better equipped to make sound decisions on the job.

Joining Christine will be a representative from Willamalane Park and Recreation District, the Springfield Chamber's 2026 Employer of the Year, who will share how intentional leadership development and employee engagement contribute to building an award-winning workplace culture.

Whether you supervise one employee or an entire team, you'll leave with practical ideas you can put to work immediately, including:

  • Simple strategies for team-building
  • Business coaching and why it's worth the investment

THE PRESENTERS

Christine West Silver: Owner, Silver Business Solutions
After 12 years in Human Resources, swimming in policies and compliance, Christine was ready for something different. She craved real conversations about people, growth, and leadership. Then came the light-bulb moment: a workshop with a management consultant. The second he started facilitating, she thought, That. That’s what I want to do.

One mentor (and one brave leap) later, she ditched the corporate grind and built a reputation as a no-nonsense facilitator and coach. Her specialty is performance management and she is trained as a mediator, teaching the skills and helping people resolve conflicts. Two decades and thousands of clients later, she’s still at it – helping leaders navigate the tough people stuff with practical, real-world solutions.

Now based in Eugene, Oregon, Silver Business Solutions LLC supports small to midsize organizations in both the non- and for-profit sectors.

Christine is also a CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) and an active member of the Springfield Area Chamber of Commerce, volunteering as an Ambassador, a member of the Member Experience committee and the Greeters Fun committee.
