Event Re-Cap: The Art of Marketing 2015
On April 15th, I attended my second “The Art of Marketing” seminar in Vancouver, BC.

This year’s “The Art of Marketing” event certainly did not disappoint. […]

On Thursday night, I had the pleasure of attending the Shoulders of Titans event, hosted by the Vancouver Entrepreneurs Group. Being my first interaction with this group I had no idea what to expect.

Event Review: Internet Masterminds Meetup
New to the world of sales, I was unsure of what to expect from the Internet Mastermind’s Meetup on How to Get Targeted Traffic to Your Big Ticket Items, with Bill Hugall.

It was my first time attending the F.W.E. (Forum for Women Entrepreneurs) Annual Fundraising Gala event though I had heard many great things, and I was not disappointed.

Let’s Hear It For The Moms!
Where to start … My day began by leaping out of bed in a hurried craze to feed my kids, get them dressed and ready for school, and out the door in time for me to make it downtown from the burbs. As prepared as I thought I was, yes, I was late. For someone […]
Big Sister’s Gala Event Review
Earlier this week I attended the Big Sister’s Gala. This event took place at the Fairmont Waterfront on a cool and wet night.
