Five gems 💎 I’ve taken away from last week's guests on Insights From Atlantic Canadian Business Leaders: 1. Here in Atlantic Canada, the business ecosystem is truly world-class. Thank you, Natasha Hudson. 2. Even though public speaking is one of the most common fears, there are relatively simple ways to calm the mind before stepping on stage. Thank you, Jim Kokocki. 3. Sometimes, the game-changing moment in business isn’t necessarily a revolution, but more of an evolution. Thank you, Andrew Sinclair. 4. To build trust in our team (and clients), we sometimes need to be vulnerable and admit our weaknesses. Thank you, Kris Mulcahy. 5. The size of an organization doesn’t determine its societal impact; smaller organizations can create significant change just as effectively as larger ones. Thank you, Rebecca Dutton, CFRE. What a week! 🙏🏻 Stay tuned for this week's incredible lineup! 🎉

The best jobs often come through connections, not just applications. If your professional network isn’t as expansive as you’d like, here’s how you can start building one: ✅ Connect Locally: Start by attending events hosted by your city’s ACG.org chapter.

Find your local chapter here: ACG Chapter Finder: https://lnkd.in/g3c6hKU8 ✅ Join Our Elite Network: I’ve created an exclusive community specifically for executives eager to engage with peers and learn directly from seasoned private equity professionals. Plus, as a limited-time offer, new members get 6 months of access to our first course at no extra cost. Join here: https://lnkd.in/eSk3Rp8k ✅ Pro Tip: Avoid the common mistake of immediately asking for a job. Instead, concentrate on broadening your network and having insightful conversations. This strategy often leads to unexpected opportunities down the road.
