COMOX VALLEY – Fall is the start of a new year for many people with school and busy schedules beginning. The Chamber is introducing new ways of looking at business as part of Small Business Month by bringing inspirational speaker Eric Termuende to the Comox Valley on Thursday, October 6 at the Stan Hagen Theatre at North Island College.
Take the Floor: Bigger than Work with Eric Termuende aims to elevate business and create inclusivity within the business community with an inspirational speaker followed by cocktail reception. Eric speaks around the world to companies, schools, and organizations on how we are all bigger than work and if we improve people’s work environment we improve people’s lives. Eric believes that with collaboration and team work, at a company level and community level, businesses and employees can thrive.
Following the Eric’s inspiring keynote presentation is an engaging cocktail reception at the NIC Lounge. The cocktail reception is geared towards putting your best foot forward. Bring your business cards, or another creative way of talking about what you do (door prize for the most creative). Make connections. Grow your business. Be inspired. Find collaborative partners. It all starts here. Enjoy a cash bar and appetizers from Custom Gourmet at the NIC Lounge.
Tickets for Take the Floor: Bigger than Work with Eric Termuende are available September 6. $55 includes keynote and reception. www.comoxvalleychamber.tickit.ca
