Are you working, networking or interviewing from home? You need to make sure that your virtual office is amazing and your communications are on point. You only get one chance to make a great first impression!

Unsure if the background you are using is professional? How about your quick pitch for business? People are less patient these days aren't they?

What you may need is a solid understanding of how to communicate your messages online both verbally and non-verbally, and if you're a business owner, you can add on top of that a new method of marketing during these covid times.

By now, you can feel relieved that you can UP your business communications with us, NCCA Canada, on Nov 27th. We have expert speakers, a world-class keynote and lots of time for networking too.

This is our 3rd time hosting a professional development event with our key partners, YEDI and the City of Toronto. They help us deliver a dynamic and fun day so you can sharpen your business communications and meet great coaches, leaders and business owners. This is a WOW virtual event - NOT a webinar! NOT to be missed.

We also wish to thank some new sponsors; CTI Global, CIBC, CTOR Games and All Can Trust.
