As long standing JA British Columbia Volunteer Facilitator of the 'Be Entrepreneurial' program since 2018, when the following email arrived in my inbox today....there was a HUGE WAHOOOOOO shouted at my laptop screen in CELEBRATION this morning!

And this happened the SAME DAY when I was a confirmed Keynote Presenter in the field of 'Personal Branding, Networking & Social Media' in the for the upcoming miniEnterprize 2022... The largest and most prestigious student-run conference in Western Canada happening February 26th, 2022! WOW.... WOW....WOW!

Thank you Wafa Bilal for choosing me and my company MYBC Consulting to be part of the miniEnterprize 2022 Conference. I am humbled, honoured, and will bring my heart to the virtual stage to inspire the next generation of business entrepreneurs.
