Thrive Asheville’s Post

Startup Zone in Charlottetown recently hosted a lovely tourism roundtable that gave trippl an opportunity to hear from local tourism stakeholders. It also gave us all an opportunity to get some reframing guidance from Katie Muldrew with Collective Knot. Katie instructed us all to draw a duck and then post it on the wall, and as you can see that's what we did. No two ducks look the same but they are clearly all ducks. We all perceive the same situation through our own filters and we also all describe that situation in our own unique way. But it is still the same situation that we are all experiencing ... together. This was a very elegant way for us all to be reminded that taking a moment to understand our differences can help us to gain a new appreciation. Very recently I had a conversation with new business advisor and one small thing he said ... I think it may just have been the way that he asked a question ... helped me to reframe the way I was perceiving things in a profoundly positive way. Remember, if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, even if doesn't really look like a duck it may still have something very valuable to say .😎 #businessplanning #businesscommunications #letstalktourism

Tourism Industry Association of Canada’s inaugural Tourism Investor Forum kicked off in Mississauga today, bringing together tourism capital seekers and capital providers. In the opening Fireside Chat, entrepreneur and investor Stuart MacDonald said he asks the following questions when meeting with potential business investments: ▶ Are you profitable? ▶ Are consumers going to care? ▶ Are you sustainable? ▶ Can you differentiate yourself? One company that ticked all the boxes for MacDonald was Sherpa°. Co-founder Max Tremaine sat across from MacDonald and the two discussed the two-way street of choosing the right investors and investments. "How do you decide who you’re going to work with?” asked Tremaine. “It’s easy to think of investors as money, but they really are a part of your team … we selected people who had actual care and were earnest about what we were doing.” #investorsforum2024 #tourism

When I look through Brant Economic Development and Tourism’s release, I am reminded of my time at the council table and the challenges of good governance. Progress often hinges on navigating these constant challenges effectively. Being business-friendly and investment-ready encompasses various factors, including the willingness of council to seize opportunities, the capability of staff to execute plans, and the condition of our infrastructure. Critical considerations include the current state of water, sewer, and roads, and the resources required (time and costs) to upgrade them to a state of readiness. We must assess how “shovel-ready” our employment lands are for new businesses considering a move to Brant County and explore future opportunities for expanding existing businesses. Having met with the staff at Brant County during a sit-down with our team, I am confident that their logistical approach, which includes community input and stakeholder consultations, will not only serve the business community well but will also benefit the broader population. #EconomicDevelopment #Brant #CommunityGrowth #BusinessInnovation #SustainableFuture #Tourism #InvestInBrant #EconomicStrategy #PostPandemicRecovery #DarrenShaw, #SIOR, #AustinRandall
