2020-01-20 12:00 - 13:00 (America/Edmonton) | NAIT Campus, 11762 - 106 Street, Edmonton, Alberta, T5G2R1, Canada
Event description

Description

Craig Elias, Entrepreneur-in-Residence for Bow Valley College, will lead us through a candid discussion with a panel of Edmonton entrepreneurs. We will get personal with the good, the bad and the ugly.
“Accept that you may fail, but instead of wallowing, learn from your missteps.Some entrepreneurs go through several failed startups before finding their golden ticket. It requires a degree of humility to accept education and insight from your mistakes, so check your ego at the door….Being an entrepreneur can be tough, but the rewards are tremendous. People can tell you how good it feels to see your business win and thrive, but until you see it happen, it’s hard to really comprehend the sheer joy and satisfaction.” Excerpts from The Startup Medium Tips.
Listing of panelist to be updated.
This session will be hosted in CAT 191.

About this Event

EdmontonWHO simulates the World Health Assembly of the World Health Organization (WHO), this year our conference topic is on “Climate Change and it’s Impact on Public Health”.
Our goal is to introduce students to the fundamental operations of the World Health Organization and create opportunities for all participants to play a proactive role in learning about global health and policy. The conference brings together students from a wide range of disciplines to discuss global health issues in a manner that is respectable and intended to develop a deeper understanding of health, sustainability, and progress. The Edmonton World Health Organization Simulation is an interactive three day mock United Nations conference for post-secondary and high school students to debate global health topics. Our aim is to simulate the political, social, cultural and economic realities that define the world of global health policy. In addition, we hope to expose students to potential future related interdisciplinary career options. We operate as a transnational project of the International Federation of Medical Students, through which we hope to send resolutions created during our conference to the actual WHO. Edmonton WHO is also a project under the nonprofit organization, Edmonton Simulation Conferences.

Description

Successful entrepreneurs and Intrapreneurs are outcome-driven, mission-driven, dedicated, service-oriented, possessing extraordinary skills. Each of these traits are openly rewarded and supported in members of the military.
Everyone knows that members of the Canadian Special Forces unit are the top-shelf, crème de la crème. They are hand-picked people trained to serve in this Avant Garde unit. Justin Yaassoub served in Canada’s special forces from 2012 – 2017. In this session Justin will share his experiences. He will focus on leadership lessons from the Special Forces community and how they can transfer to your day to day life. Justin Yaassoub will discuss what Warrior leadership is and bring it all together under the necessary attributes that a leader must possess – Empathy, Courage, and Self Sacrifice.
Justin is a lifelong student of leadership who is fascinated with the notion of what makes people respond and react to other human ideas, suggestions, and commands. He is the director of All-Around Consulting – providing leadership and team development guidance to small businesses and emerging leaders.
Having an entrepreneurial mindset, creativity and drive does not equate to success. To be successful, entrepreneurs must also be strong leaders. The Mawji Centre is committed to building exceptionally strong leaders and allowing them the opportunity to develop their skills and excel.
