Due to the success of the previous two sessions, the BC Chamber of Commerce has added new dates to Building Resilience to Thrive!

Want to continue to grow and develop your business? 60 minutes, once a week for 6 weeks...That's all it takes for you to earn and complete a certificate program to help you to mitigate the negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. This program includes presentations on how to adapt your business models, re-engage customers, and adjust workplace cultures.

Delivered by award-winning professors Dr. Mark Colgate and Prof. Brian Leacock, it requires little time commitment and applies core competencies in leadership and resilience to help set you up for long-term, consistent success. 

A program like this would normally be in the range of $700 but is being offered at a substantially reduced rate so it is as accessible to as many businesses as possible. For a minimal registration fee of $35 for Chamber members and $70 for non-members, this program will help you:  

• Communicate and connect more openly with your employees 
• Be a more productive, empathetic leader 
• Efficiently host team meetings to encourage dialogue and idea exchanges 
• Build a better workplace culture and team mentality 
• Engage with customers in a more meaningful way 
• Strategize new approaches to servicing your clients 
• Cultivate and offer a superior customer experience 
• Diversify your cultural intelligence help your team work effectively together 
• Design a world-class customer experience program that also recognizes employee excellence ​

Feedback from cohort one includes "I have gained a lot of valuable knowledge over the past 6 weeks" and "Thanks so much Brian & Mark! I have looked forward to these Tuesday sessions. Love the energy & humour!"

Sign up for the next cohort happening on February 24th to March 31st, every Wednesday, 11am to 12pm PST. Registration for Cohort 3 closes on February 22nd at 4pm.

If that doesn't work for you, a new date has been added: March 22nd – April 28th at 11am, first two session on Mondays, following sessions on Wednesdays, 11am to 12pm, PST. Registration for this last cohort closes March 12 at 4pm.
