The Power Expo - A good start
I have had the pleasure of being involved with a very meaningful event these past 2 days - the Power Expo. The 3 ladies who pulled this event together - Dianne Ojar-Ali, Caroline Dafoe and Loana Morgan - ensured it was an 'admission-free' event, for the sole purpose of adding value and bringing positive change to the lives of those who attended.
The event was held at the Metropolitan Centre Banquet Hall, 3840 Finch Ave E, Scarborough (between Kennedy and Birchmount). The location was easy to find, except that the building was behind St. Nicholas' Church as you entered, and there was no sign for the banquet hall. Luckily the organizers put up a "Power Expo" sign at the entrance off the street, so that people could find it more easily. :)
One minor issue, which needed to be clarified, was the introduction on me for the workshop by the event host. I had been inaccurately presented as someone who "had run a 6 million dollar project at the Economic Times foundation in Hong Kong...", when the he tru-th is...that I had been an editor with the Economic Times (a financial newspaper in Hong Kong) and am currently managing over 6 mission in clients' assets (I did get a question from an attendee in my session asking me what is that all about, I figure I might as well clarify here in my blog).
Everybody understands how hectic preparing for an event can be; there are alot of things that you cannot forsee that will come with experience and time. Based on the feedback I received though, I am sure that the event will improve each year and I look forward to the next one.
I must thank the following companies for their support:
At the meantime, we can enjoy some of the photos we took at the Power Expo :) Video on my workshop will be out soon. Talk soon...
