Motivational March is Back! |
|
We are excited to be offering this as a hybrid event; yes, that is correct you can take in all the motivation as an attendee either in person or virtually!
We are thrilled to have Michelle Cederberg as our keynote speaker for this event. Michelle will be presenting "The Success-Energy Reset" which will motivate you on how to regain focus and recharge work and life in a post-pandemic world.
The Success Energy Reset Synopsis:
In the age of disengagement, distraction and fatigue still lingering from the pandemic, how we work and live has been tested. As we navigate on-going uncertainty, we are busy, stretched, and stressed and it can feel difficult to stay positive and lead effectively.
Health and Productivity Expert Cederberg shares research from her new book The Success-Energy Equation to help you and your team regain focus and tap into a well of energy that will increase productivity and reduce overwhelm and stress in every area of your life.
You'll discover how to:
- Get clear on your own definition of success; what really matters to you in work and life, and what drives you to do what you do ? particularly in a post pandemic world.
- Look at typical barriers that get in the way of success, how you can effectively navigate them, and lead your team productively despite them.
- Discover four science-backed variables that contribute to higher levels of goal achievement and overall well-being, and how to boost capacity in each.
- Embrace a simple but powerful daily habit to ensure on-going success with everything you do that?s important to you (what it is may surprise you).
- Full of hilarious stories, anecdotes, and innovative strategies, you?ll leave this session with a renewed sense that it's possible to break free from stress and drive your teams success, through the pandemic and beyond. That?s Success-Energy, and it?s a formula worth calculating.

Your Chamber Advocates For You! |
|
Did you know that your Airdrie Chamber of Commerce advocates on your behalf?
One of our most recent advocacy efforts paid off!
On Monday, Airdrie City Council voted to amend the Land Use Bylaw and the Public Notification Bylaw to make online notification the primary means of advertising development decisions. These changes allow the City to place development decisions on the website the same day that they make them, immediately starting the provincially mandated 21-day appeal period for Discretionary Uses and development variances. Up until now, development decisions had to be collected on a weekly basis and placed in the next week’s newspaper, creating a delay of about 9-12 days between development decision and the end of the appeal period for many new businesses and developments.
We see this as a huge win for the business community by reducing the time to receive development approvals and opening doors to new businesses. From the perspective of the taxpayer, the municipality will now avoid budget overruns to advertise high volumes of development decisions in the paper and be able to place more general public notifications and information in City Connection.
