Web Presence 101 – Lessons From Barrie Business Week

November 3, 2015 By Linda Dessau

The Barrie Business Week 2015 conference took place last week at Georgian College.

Web presence

Tuesday’s focus was on web presence, including a plenary session with three experts and an intensive working session with the expert of our choice. I joined Marc Hill from Digital Giants for “Step-by-Step Guide to Building Your Web Presence and Cultivating Your Online Community.”

Marc was one of the first Barrie business owners I connected with on Twitter, even before I moved.

Tks for the follow @lindadessau and welcome to the city I currently call home. Look forward to meeting you.

Creativity

One of the breakout sessions I attended on Wednesday was “Share Mindpower: Boost Creativity for Success,” all about how to optimize and tap into the creativity of a team. Here are my highlights:

Tidbits from the trenches

The Barrie Business Week conference closed with the Presidents’ Panel, featuring four successful business leaders from the Barrie area. They had incredible insights to share, and I really appreciated their honesty, humility (not one of them had a straight path of progress) and humour.

Here is my final collection of gems about success in business:
