Straight from the heart THANK YOU for hosting this tremendous day of learning and growth Justin Edwards and Edwards Land, TEC Canada.
What happens when a group of local business leaders come together for a full day of learning, collaboration, and strategic problem-solving? Growth, insight, and game-changing conversations. Last week, Edwards Land had the privilege of hosting a The Executive Committee (TEC Canada) leadership training session onsite, kicking off the day with a continental breakfast from MobSquad Cafe before diving into a powerful session led by Leo Bottary on the concept of Peernovation - the idea that professional peers trust each other, learn faster together, and hold each other accountable for high performance. Leo’s insights on team motivation, focus, and accountability sparked great discussion and left a lasting impact. After an incredible lunch from Annabelle’s Kitchen, the TEC group got to work. Our President, Justin Edwards, dived deep into the Edwards Land story, business objectives, and future growth strategies, receiving valuable feedback from peers. The afternoon focused on Opportunities, Challenges, and Issues (OCI), supporting fellow leaders with varying strategic plans. This leadership workshop enabled real connection, real solutions, and real growth - we are looking forward to applying our learnings into our business. A huge thank you to Matthew Williams and the team at TEC Canada, Leo Bottary, Nicholas Hewton and Lauren Macready for making this event so successful, and all our fellow leaders for bringing your expertise and energy to this session! 📸 Swipe through for some highlights from the day. #LeadershipInAction #TECCanada #EdwardsLand #Peernovation Alyssa Guiltner, Ryan Chase, Spencer Hewlett, Ian Learmonth, Jeff Aplin, John Howey, Matthew Williams, Scott Myer, Pat Bruns, Chris Swabb, Kevin Hadden
