Thursday, November 9, 2017 —Voices from the Caribbean and Canada

The Camera Caribbean has dedicated space in this week’s issue of the Paper for bringing the voices from the Caribbean together with those from Canada to share how they will celebrate and the impact of GEW for them. Their messages will be shared in the Views on News column.

Special thanks on behalf of The Caribbean Camera and Magate Wildhorse to those who contributed to making the shared voices a reality.

It is important for young Caribbean Canadian entrepreneurs to understand and connect with the roots of their culture of entrepreneurship as well as for Canadian entrepreneurs to understand the DNA of Canadian entrepreneurship so they can come to getter to deliver great solutions.Marcia Brandon

Voices from the Caribbean and the session entitled Focused for Growth—the Entrepreneur will provide opportunities to learn and share. The term young entrepreneurs is used in reference to any entrepreneur who is in the early days of their career journey as an entrepreneur regardless of their age. We therefore welcome those entrepreneurs who are 40 and over who are starting a business as the next step in their career journey.

Register for an Event on Eventbrite, GEW Web site or Magate Wildhorse on Facebook.

The Caribbean culture and heritage of entrepreneurship is still to come into its own in Canada.  It must be exposed, promoted and supported in order to stimulate the growth of entrepreneurial Caribbean Canadian businesses by both youths, newcomers and the more established Caribbean Canadians.

We could call it getting multicultural with the wholesome and rich Canadian and Caribbean traditions of enterprise, entrepreneurship and supporting business.

 We look forward to seeing you in Scarborough as well as online!

When change is tough and execution is out hunting to eat strategy its time to have that tough conversation.

We know that having those conversations can be tough, but more than that you need the opportunity to sit back with your team and listen deeply, then think and share. That is why we have designed “Pepper Pot Lunch℠” — strategic management conversation series for your team and you.

Pepper Pot Lunch℠, is freshly cooked with love and care for getting those tough strategic management conversations out into the open and to help your team come up with answers for getting the results you want.

Each participatory session is geared towards tackling a challenge related to:

  1. Understanding strategy
  2. Winning commitment to strategy
  3. Taking action for getting the results you, the organization, customers and stakeholders want
  4. Growing a culture of performance and improvement

Pepper Pot Lunch℠ are not just “talk shops”, they are interactive, fact finding, information sharing and active problem solving sessions.

Each session is designed or customized to address the problem you seek to address.

For example, we could troubleshoot and improve one or two component(s) of your program design in a session, or we could address a topic such as “Undemocratic Resource Allocation”. Perhaps you need a session on results-oriented planning and/or evaluation vocabulary [Planning terms, objectives, goals, SMARTER KPIs etc.].

We guarantee rich entertaining sessions which engages heads, hearts and hands for getting you on the path to success.
