On behalf of all of us here at the
South Okanagan Chamber
we wish you a safe, warm and restful holiday break!

Have you been following our Support Local Holiday Advent Calendar?

Check it out and get caught up here!
As we’re rounding out 2020, 2021 presents itself as a year of opportunity and growth. Many of us are looking forward and envisioning what business could look like on the other side of the pandemic.  
 
We encourage you to act now, to better position yourself, your team, and your business once we have collectively recovered. Start 2021 off right by registering for the Building Resilience to Thrive Program, offered by the Peter B. Gustavson School of Business in partnership with the BC Chamber of Commerce.   
 
The 6-week certificate program requires little time commitment (weekly hour-long sessions for six weeks) and applies core competencies in leadership and resilience to help set you up for long-term, consistent success. For as little as $35 for Chamber members and $70 for non-members, the program will help you:   
 
  • Communicate and connect more openly with your employees 
  • Be a more productive, empathetic leader 
  • Efficiently host team meetings to encourage dialogue and idea exchanges 
  • Build a better workplace culture and team mentality 
  • Engage with customers in a more meaningful way 
  • Strategize new approaches to servicing your clients 
  • Cultivate and offer a superior customer experience 
  • Diversify your cultural intelligence help your team work effectively together 
  • Design a world-class customer experience program that also recognizes employee excellence 
 
Courses are taught by award winning professors Dr. Mark Colgate and Prof. Brian Leacock, and are supplemented by resiliency roundtables with other businesses to drive collaboration and connectedness.  

If you or your team are looking to invest in your long-term professional development for a nominal fee, and you lead or influence a team, this program is for you.
