Christopher Flett -
"What Men Don't Tell Women About Business"

Christopher Flett is an interesting contradiction in terms. A resoundingly alpha male, he focuses primarily on working with women in business. Christopher is a best-selling author and in his talk, he will be sharing the secret conversations men have in the boardroom, ways that women inadvertently give up their power to male counterparts, and what women can do immediately to change the dynamics in business in their favour. His work has been featured on NBC's the Today Show, the Wall Street Journal, NY Times, Globe & Mail, and hundreds of other media outlets. This is a keynote you will not soon forget and may very well change the way you do business.

Happy Entrepreneur Consulting - Tim Alison & Ron Robichaud -
"How to Increase Sales of Existing Products and Services"

Successful entrepreneurs understand that selling is not a personality driven issue. It's a process that can be taught and mastered by almost anyone. The result: increased sales and happier, more loyal customers. This keynote will take the mystery out of the selling process and share easy to understand processes that can be used to increase sales for any business. This keynote is highly motivational and is appropriate for businesses at all stages of development. 
 
"Choosing the Right Growth Strategy for Your Business"

Most entrepreneurs are interested in growing their business in one way or another. Sounds simple, but in practice it can be a very difficult thing to achieve. As lifelong entrepreneurs and business coaches, Happy Entrepreneur Consulting knows that the disciplined use of proven processes can dramatically increase a business' chances of success. This keynote will focus on the processes successful growth organizations use to identify and evaluate opportunities for growth. This keynote resonates well with entrepreneurs considering business expansion as well as those that are struggling to identify potential opportunities.

"A Keep it Simple Approach to Maximizing the Profit Potential of Any Business"
Every small business exists to make a profit. Without profits a business will not survive. Surprisingly, many small business owners seem willing to accept very modest net profits (often less than 5%). Happy Entrepreneur Consulting will share with you a keep it simple, bottom up approach designed to maximize the profit potential of any business. This keynote appeals to entrepreneurs at all stages of development.

Importance of the First Impression - Teaching people how to improve their image is a lifelong dedication of Marina Sorokan. She does this through compassion, humour, and extensive training in the world of fashion and beauty. Marina will be discussing the significance of the first impression when you are a business owner. Business owners need to build credibility with their clients, staff, lenders and vendors. 

Look and Communicate like a Leader - Helping people feel confident has long been a passion of Wendy Cooper's. She has a business background in her role as a Certified Planner and understands the necessity of strong interpersonal skills. Wendy has a strong background in communication; haven taken many courses on the subject. She will be leading the discussion on how to enhance business relationships by improving your communication skills with topics such as reading body language, communications etiquette and the art of networking. 

Where do you start? - It's all about confidence. In business, looking great lets those around you know that you are professional and competent. When people ask Peggy Widynowski what they should wear to the office, her standard reply is, "dress to where you want to go. If you want to become a leader, start presenting yourself as a leader." Building a work wardrobe can be a daunting task. First, you need to understand the business culture you are dressing for and the expectations of your customers. Peggy will share her tips in dressing for business which will help you to avoid making wrong and costly purchases for your wardrobe that undoubtedly will end up in the back of the closet with the price tag still on.
