Communicating Your Brand

PR and Speaking Engagements


In the book, The World’s Best Known Marketing Secret, by BNI Founder Dr. Ivan Misner, there is a chapter called “Communicating Your Brand.” In it, Dr. Misner recommends giving a speech as a good way to promote your company.

Dr. Misner says:
“Speaking opportunities… represent an excellent avenue for building your business image and making contact with movers and shakers in the business community. BUT…do remember to avoid selling to your audience during your speech! Position yourself as the expert and let the confidence build into potential sales.”

I’ve always agreed with this approach wholeheartedly. To that end, I’ve been invited to speak at an event on Friday April 12, hosted by the Power of Women Canada. I’m honoured to be part of the event, but I’m most thrilled about the calibre of the women who will also be presenting.
Grace Attard, owner and founder of e-Spot in Oakville is a co-presenter, as is Heather Hiscox, National CBC Newspresenter.  Both women represent the highest level of excellence in their field, and I am very much looking forward to hearing their stories and participating in their presentations.

This is a unique event, hosted at St. Mildred’s Lightbourne School in Oakville – which is a truly unique venue. It’s also an excellent networking opportunity. So, gather together your business cards and join us…register right here.
