The key to successfully starting and growing a business is effective communications. Your great idea will not get interest from anyone if you can’t share your vision, persuasively pitch your company to investors, and clearly market your products and services.
NCCA Canada is proudly partnering with YEDI and City of Toronto to co-host a half-day professional development and networking event at Toronto City Hall where you will learn how to develop these vital business communication skills. Our President, speaker extraordinaire and body language expert Mark Bowden will deliver a keynote not to be missed, which will be followed by your chance to join mini-workshops hosted by our industry professionals on the topics of networking, pitching skills and clarifying your business vision.
This is an exciting and unique opportunity to meet coaches, trainers, learning and development professionals and business owners, gathering together to connect, share and learn. This event is open to everyone, but space is limited. Please join us!
Toronto City Hall - Friday October 13th 2017, 10 – 2 pm
Cost: $20 (**free for NCCA Canada Members)
