AWE Sets the Stage with Innovative Approaches to Success
 | | Jeanne Beker and AWE Team |
Thank you to all of this year's Innovative Approaches to Success attendees, speakers, and supporters! We hope everyone involved enjoyed our annual conference. Attendees from across Canada came together for 2 inspirational days of knowledge sharing and entrepreneurial community building.
One of the biggest highlights of the event for our team was spending time with attendees, speakers and supporters throughout the conference. What incredible energy shown by this amazing group of entrepreneurs, business leaders, and service providers as they connected and learned from one and other.
From John Stanton's words of wisdom on finding one's own talent and making something great, "true success is not knowing whether you're working or playing", to the incredible insight from entrepreneurs and experts on HR, finance, growth strategies, and online marketing - attendees were inspired and ready to move forward with new ideas and strategies.
Jeanne Beker's closing of the event with an honest, stirring, and at times hilarious personal story of hardship and triumph demonstrated how we can all create our own path to success.
Cheers to another successful conference and we look forward to seeing you again in 2012! Stay tuned for "Save the Date" notices... |
