What do you think about the current debate concerning whether or not schools in Ontario should vote for mandatory school uniforms? You may think this is not a question you need to answer, especially if you do not have children in school. Think again, think about the violence in our schools, that touches everyones lives. Think about security in our schools,think about safety. By showing solidarity and voting YES we can be sure we have stood together and helped our schools become safer places.

Networking is Forever..........

Submitted by Linda Ockwell-Jenner on

As I said before networking is essential in every way in order to build relationships and keep in contact with potential clients and future prospects. Once we have a database of contacts there is little point stopping at that and never networking again. I recently joined LinkedIn http://www.linkedin.com/in/lindaoj in case you want to check out my profile. My husband, Dave, suggested this was a good networking opportunity that I can utilize from the comfort of my office.

Why Did I Decide to Start my Own Business Networking Group?

Submitted by Linda Ockwell-Jenner on

The answer to why I decided to start my own business networking group is easy. I saw a need for a networking group that was affordable, friendly and offered an educational element, such as expert speakers each month. I knew that my target market was either people who were thinking about starting a small business , or people who had already started a small business and wanted to enter the world of networking in  a safe environment.

When Good Web Sites Go Bad

As small business owners, a web site is critical for many of us. But what happens when your web site inadvertently gets hijacked to attack it's visitors? As devious as this sounds, it's happening.

My first attempt at networking at the Canadian Association of Professional Speakers

Submitted by Linda Ockwell-Jenner on

As I walked towards the registration desk my tummy had butterflies, but then I recognized Adele Alfano the speaker who had invited me to a chapter meeting for CAPS. Adele was so friendly and welcoming and introduced me to mostly everyone at the meeting that evening. I was so grateful  to her for her kindness and, from that minute, I knew I would take a tip from Adele and treat others as she had treated me. I enjoyed my first networking event at CAPS and decided a few months later to join as a professional member as I could see the benefits of membership.
