"You know how you go through phases in the work environment where things are great for awhile\, then turn sour usually due to one or two bad apples spoiling the bunch? Sometimes you catch it early and other times those apples really do cause chaos and negativity within the Team. A Negative Culture is the worst thing that can happen in your business. You know how sometimes we wonder if we can be just a little happier? Or if there is more to this life than just getting through the day or just getting by? I solve this.I've run Teams in the Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) space for 20 years and Sales Teams for over 10 years with turnover rates as low as you've ever seen. My experience combined with extensive industry training and personal development certification has led me to be able to help Executive Teams plan and build better Culture in their companies\, saving money and allowing for more happiness in the workplace in the process. I've spent the last 10 years purposefully studying and practicing living with a PMA (Positive Mental Attitude). It has changed EVERYTHING! Its super simple in concept but it takes some practice. I've coached individuals and corporations\, done workshops and keynotes and delivered a TEDx Talk on the subject. I'm developing a course which can help anyone add a little bit of extra happiness to their everyday."Awards will be presented in the following categories:Greatest ImpactYoung EntrepreneurDiversity and InclusionLegacy BusinessIndigenousMarketingEmerging BusinessLeading EdgeSmall Business of the Year Under 10 EmployeesSmall Business of the Year 10-100 EmployeesPlease register by clicking the registration button or by contacting the Chamber office by phone at 780-532-5340 or email info@gpchamber.com.THANK YOU TO OUR 2022 BDC SMALL BUSINESS WEEK SPONSORS:BDC - National Sponsor/Award SponsorATB Financial - Award Sponsor/Reception SponsorCity of Grande Prairie - Proclamation Sponsor/Award SponsorCounty of Grande Prairie - Proclamation Sponsor/Award SponsorCommunity Futures Grande Prairie & Region - Award SponsorGrande Prairie Regional Innovation Network - Award SponsorGrande Prairie Regional Tourism Association - Award SponsorMNP - Luncheon Sponsor/Award SponsorSwan City Rotary Club - Luncheon Sponsor/Award SponsorCommunity Foundation of Northwestern Alberta - Award Tabulation Sponsor X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:
