SUMMARY:Adapting to a new world of work: PwC presents discoveries of the field workers study
DESCRIPTION:Most Albertans and businesses have had to adjust to operating remotely\, as working from home has increased substantially over the last year. But what about those working in positions that require being on the job site\, unable to accomplish their duties or tasks remotely or in a home office? \nIn this webinar\, PwC’s thought leaders will share insights based on findings from their field worker study. This study takes the pulse of Canadian field workers—full or part-time employees who pre-pandemic spent most if not all of their workday in a non-office setting and are employed by a larger company or organization. The survey reveals their perceptions of the potential for technology to improve their job\, the impact of the pandemic on their well-being and their organization’s effectiveness in adapting to the disruption. \nPlus\, PwC will explore the impacts of COVID-19 on workers in several key industries in Alberta including Energy\, Education\, Retail\, Healthcare\, Manufacturing\, and more. \nPlease confirm your attendance by Monday\, May 17 @ 4 PM.\nWe will be using the Zoom meeting platform for the webinar. A link to join will be sent out to all registrants 12-24 hours prior to the webinar via email.

SUMMARY:InterGen's Virtual Wine Wednesday with Art Price & Robert Price\, Bōde Canada
DESCRIPTION:InterGen’s Virtual Wine Wednesday with\nArt Price & Robert Price\, Bōde Canada\nWednesday\, April 21\, 4:00 p.m. MST \nSerial Entrepreneurs | Founders | CEOs | Old Economy | \nNew Economy | Oil & Gas | Agriculture | Real Estate | Father/Son What has this Price duo not done? Join us for an inspiring conversation with Art Price & Robert Price! \n\nArt Price is a prairie-rooted serial entrepreneur who has been a key member of leadership teams of internationally successful companies in energy\, technology and agribusiness based in Alberta. Trained as an engineer\, he was the President of Husky Oil in 1981 at the age of 30\, and continued on to be CEO of the company from 1984 – 1993. Art left Husky Oil with the objective of founding an internationally competitive technology business. As the founder of Axia\, Art’s team was responsible for bringing low-cost and high-performing fibre optics to every corner of the province and international markets as well including US\, Europe and Asia. In 2018\, Axia’s Alberta business was sold to Bell and Art shifted his focus to investing in “New Economy” opportunities that involve transformation through the application of technology and are aligned with sustainable market-based economies. He is Chairman of the Board for Bōde Canada\, the Alberta-based peer-to-peer real estate marketplace recently awarded as a Top 15 innovator by Startup Calgary. He also is a Principal and Chairman of Sunterra Group of Companies that are at the forefront of modern approaches to agribusiness in farming\, specialty processing and specialty retail. Art has also served on Board of Directors of companies in the steel industry\, gold mining industry\, genetics and radio sectors. Art has been called a ‘brilliant visionary’ with a direct and frank business style. \nRobert Price is one of the founders and the CEO of Bōde Canada\, an online real estate marketplace that launched in Alberta in 2019. He’s brought together an all-star team that is turning the traditional real estate industry upside down by directly connecting buyers and sellers to work out a deal on their own time\, their own schedule and on their own terms. No realtor required. Just as we’ve seen with Airbnb and AutoTrader\, consumers are smart\, ready and confident to make these transactions themselves. Previously\, Robert was a senior executive at telecom leader Axia\, which brought high performing low-cost fibre infrastructure to customers in Alberta\, the US\, France and Singapore. Robert thrives in leading high-performing teams that deliver amazing customer experiences and meet critical revenue objectives. Robert has grown up in an entrepreneurial family and is a passionate advocate for Alberta and its entrepreneurs.

SUMMARY:Lougheed College Lecture Series: Dr. Deena Hinshaw
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Deena Hinshaw presents as part of the 2020-21 Lougheed College Lectures\, which has a theme of leadership and public institutions.\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this Event\n\n\nThe 2020-21 Lougheed College Lecture series is organized around the theme of leadership and public institutions. Governments\, courts\, universities\, cultural institutions\, public health agencies\, financial regulators and other offices charged with ensuring the public good face special scrutiny from the people they serve. We expect our tax-funded institutions to deliver value for money\, and to act ethically and responsibly to ensure citizen well-being. And we have high demands for accountability and responsiveness. What does it take to lead such organizations\, especially when the decisions are fraught and the stakes are high? How do public leaders engage the people they serve in decision-making? How do they address dissent and controversy? What are the consequences of “fake news\,” the growing skepticism around expertise\, and political polarization for the necessary work of serving the public good? Our speakers will tackle these challenging issues with hard-won insights from the front lines. \nDr. Deena Hinshaw address the topic\, Leadership in Public Service: We are all in this together as a featured guest of the Lougheed College Lectures. \nThe COVID-19 pandemic has made our interdependencies more visible and has called each of us to make choices to serve our communities in both formal and informal ways. In this talk\, Dr. Deena Hinshaw will reflect on her experience of leadership in the pandemic\, and the ways that she has\, in her role\, intersected with the leaders who serve their communities every day. Drawing on her work as one of the public faces of Alberta’s response to COVID-19\, she will talk about the different ways in which we can amplify and support each other in sustaining and nurturing healthy communities. \nThis lecture is presented in partnership with the School of Public Health at the University of Alberta. \nBe informed\, challenged\, and inspired by local\, national\, and international leaders from government\, business\, academia\, and the cultural and nonprofit sectors. The Lougheed College Lectures sponsored by Syncrude present exceptional speakers from interdisciplinary backgrounds. They will share their perspectives and insights on the leadership needed to face the complex challenges of the 21st century. \nDate And Time \n\nThu\, April 15\, 2021 \n7:00 PM – 8:30 PM MDT

SUMMARY:Founder Fridays: Author Cory Bray
DESCRIPTION:Event Information: \nWe’re giving away 100 copies of Cory Bray’s book at the April 9th kick-off of Founder Fridays. During the fireside chat\, author and Alchemist Accelerator Sales Mentor Cory Bray will cover some of the key elements from his book Sales Playbooks: The Builder’s Toolkit Paperback and end with a 15 minute Q & A session with participants.Join us to learn how a sales playbook can create more consistent top performers faster\, reduce the gap between your top performers and everyone else\, develop sales teams that engage with more prospects\, produce more pipeline\, AND close more deals. Founder Fridays is a series of fireside chats with authors of books that are typically held on the 1st and 3rd Friday of each month\, the initiative is based on the success of a fireside chat with Ian Hathaway (Brad Feld’s co-author on their latest book) that had 300+ participants and gave away 100 copies of The Startup Community Way to attendees from across Alberta. Each month you can register for either or both of two sessions: A fireside chat with an author that shares a link where the last 15 minutes is a Q & A session with the participants and a link is provided so those from Alberta can request a free copy of the author’s book. Table discussions held two weeks later (sometimes with\, sometimes without the author) to discuss the different ways the content from the fireside chat and the author’s book can be applied to Alberta’s Startup Community. Founder Fridays are designed to support Alberta’s entrepreneurs\, mentors\, investors\, ecosystem builders and service providers by: Upskilling entrepreneurs\, mentors\, ecosystem builders and service providers \n\nDeveloping entrepreneurship and entrepreneurship support in and around post-secondary institutions. Helping startups grow faster and develop the expertise and traction required to attract capital.\nIncreasing the volume of startups and the velocity at which they progress through the Startup Commons stages\nWorking with existing entrepreneurship support organizations to expand their mentor networkFounder Fridays is a joint initiative of 150 Startups\, Bow Valley College\, Futurepreneur\, Rainforest Alberta\, and the Venture Mentoring Service of Alberta and are made possible by the generous support of Bow Valley College\, RBC\, The Hunter Family Foundation\, Calgary Innovation Coalition\, RINSA\, and Women in STEM.
