🌟 You know you work in a great team when you always have something new to learn. For me, this week in Brussels was full of great takeaways! Key insights about team and culture: ⚡️ Growth Mindset: Embracing challenges and viewing setbacks as opportunities for learning helps your team evolve. ⚡️ Effective Communication: Sharing your unique ideas and experiences helps you work better together. ⚡️ Cultural Awareness: Appreciating diverse perspectives enhances team cooperation and innovation. ⚡️ Team Engagement: Fun activities like the cross-cultural word guessing games bring the team closer. ⚡️ Recognition and Appreciation: Giving a shoutout to everyone's contributions and celebrating your wins strengthens the team spirit. I truly appreciate being part of this incredible team! Here's to more growth, cultural exchanges, and shared experiences! 🌍💪 #GrowthMindset #TeamBuilding #CulturalExchange #ProfessionalDevelopment #TheConferenceBoard

What a great article from Andrea Doyle, Skift Meetings & must-needed discussion. We all know the power of associations (or do we?), but we also know there are too many. I love the breakdown of different models of consolidation: - Merge (seems like makes sense for regional associations, but will be too complex for those who have the global footprint) - Acquisition (the American way?) - Collaboration (Meetings Industry Council of Colorado is truly a gold example. Here at BC, we are also doing a good job on this, Kudos to PCMA Canada West Chapter, MPI BC Chapter, ILEA Vancouver, Fraser Valley Event Professionals Association!) Super interesting to see how it plays out in the next few months & years. #eventprofs #associations

I know what you're thinking. I don't have time for another conference, especially one where I'm just going to network." But let me give you a few reasons why the IFMA Global Conference is different: 1. You'll learn from the best. We're talking about world-class speakers, industry leaders, and innovators who are pushing the boundaries of FM. 2. The real-world takeaways. You'll walk away from each session with practical, actionable insights that you can use immediately. 3. The spark of inspiration. You'll get a chance to reconnect with your passion for FM, surrounded by others who share a similar drive and energy. 4. The chance to reinvent yourself. The IFMA Global Conference is the perfect opportunity to step outside your comfort zone and explore new ideas that could completely transform your career. 5. The networking is just a bonus. Sure, you'll meet other FM professionals and make valuable connections, but trust me, the other reasons alone are worth attending. So, don't just take my word for it, join me at the IFMA Global Conference and see for yourself.

We asked: What's the top reason to attend an IECA Conference? Answer #1: Networking! 1. Networking expands your 'team of experts' when specific knowledge is needed 2. Networking puts you and your expertise in front of peers - building your referral source 3. Networking allows you to build more IEC/admission leader connections - with invites to campus tours, advisory boards, and enhanced 'campus knowledge' 4. Networking helps you find mentors... and opportunities to mentor others! Don't miss IECA November 2023! https://lnkd.in/eUactdiv

On January 30, I had the honour of attending the Carnegie Initiative Summit, where Canadian Tire Corporation's workshop on "Building Effective Networks and Navigating Relationships" was held. The presenter, @Biju Pappachan, and the panellists, @Ashley Curran, Bobby Sahni, Lindsay Pennal, Marsha-Gaye Knight BSc, PDip, MSc. Knight BSc, PDip, MSc, and Brett Peterson, gave a fantastic talk on developing strategic connections and negotiating the complex world of networking. I want to thank them for giving us such an amazing educational opportunity. The goal of the Carnegie Initiative is to make hockey a more welcoming, inclusive, and supportive environment. The purpose of the Summit is to provide a safe space for panellists and thought leaders to have insightful and meaningful conversations on the difficulties and development. I'd like to highlight a few significant points from the Summit: Bobby Sahni's emphasis on multiculturalism throughout this panel discussion provided me with valuable insights. Living in a varied city like Toronto, it's critical to understand that the ways of connecting and forming networks differ between cultures. To make the most of our networking efforts, we must first understand how different cultures interact. As a Sport and Event Marketing student at George Brown, I intend to use this expertise to build social capital and effectively launch my career in the field. I was also impressed by how Biju Pappachan expounded on the need of devoting time to individuals in order to build better networks. When connecting on social media, including a personal note can make the connection more meaningful and help to foster true relationships. Ms Lindsay Pennal demonstrated beautifully how taking a different approach may lead to the formation of stronger relationships. Furthermore, Brett Peterson emphasized the value of listening skills, based on his extensive experience as a general manager. Patience in listening is vital for understanding team members' cognitive processes. Thank you again for hosting such an informative event. There's nothing quite like learning from professionals in the area. I am excited to put these excellent teachings into practice in both my personal and professional life.
