TEC 2015 speaker Shawn Casemore was welcomed back to the November 12 Professional Development Series at The Royal Agricultural Winter Fair. Throughout the afternoon, Shawn taught us how to manage our time and set priorities and how to become a leader through building relationships – you don’t have to have a title to be a true leader. It is all through your ability to influence others. To quote Shawn, "Great leaders are not born, they are created."

Following the conclusion of the Professional Development Sessions, attendees were welcomed to the heart of The Royal Winter Galleria for a networking reception right in the midst of Heritage Court. Flanked by a beautiful Christmas tree and the sights, sounds and "smells" of The Royal, attendees mixed and mingled during the cocktail reception. Some even took advantage of being in the heart of The Royal and explored some of the exhibitors.

A delicious dinner was served in Café Soleil featuring arugula apple salad with toasted pecans, feta and honey apple dressing, chicken breast with a creamy mustard sauce over herbed polenta and roasted harvest vegetables. This was followed by a delicious warm apple crisp for dessert. Special thanks for Spectra Catering for putting together such a warm and comforting meal.

After dinner, attendees were led to the Sky Suites in the Ricoh Coliseum where MLSE sponsored our Chapter at The Royal Horse Show and the Cavallo Equestrian Show. Attendees had the opportunity to watch the show while they continued to work on building their network.

It was a truly remarkable evening that encompassed what the Signature Series had set out to achieve! Special thanks to our sponsors in helping to make this event a wonderful success:
