November Professional Development

On Nov. 13, Jessica Gibbons of C2 International spoke to the MPI Toronto Chapter members about brainstorming techniques and strategies for engaging our audience before, during and after our events. She did this by incorporating a fun networking activity that involved balloons – a great way to engage the group and keep it fun!

Kevin Bulmer joined us for the second half of our session, and he spoke to us about Run Your Own Race – The Ultimate Mindset & Marketing Solution. As per Cristina Sufrim, CMP and PD committee member, she said, "We were fortunate to have Kevin Bulmer as our invited speaker at the MPI Toronto Professional Development Workshop. Kevin delivered such a powerful presentation that it seemed the audience forgot to breathe while listening to him. Kevin is passionate and has the gift of genuinely connecting and interacting with the audience. His presentation on how to run your own race is inspirational and empowering. We benefited and enjoyed learning how to “Rise Like a Phoenix and Race Like a Turtle.”

Thanks to all our sponsors for making this professional development session possible: Vantage Venues, D.E. Systems for our online registration, The Image Commission by Digital Pix Inc. for our photography and BizBash and Ignite for media.
