About this event

Session Overview

Extraordinary times calls for extraordinary thinking and action. In light of this, TIANS will be hosting an exclusive afternoon event for Nova Scotia's Tourism Industry on November 24, 2020 in Halifax featuring General (Ret'd.) Rick Hillier. 

Now, more than ever, courageous leadership is needed and General Hillier (who just happens to be part of the Atlantic Bubble), will join us in person to talk about Leadership and Adapting to Change. 

For General Hillier, leadership is all about people - embracing those in your charge and winning over those you need to work with - not about risk aversion or management fads. Leaders think long, and have a vision - even in a pandemic. Their actions speak, not their words, and they make their own luck. Leaders also act out of moral courage, accept failure, take advantage of crisis and are perpetually optimistic.

While we cannot gather like we used to, it is important we still get together and plan for the stabilization and rebuilding of Nova Scotia’s Tourism Industry. We are pleased to be back at The Westin Nova Scotian and will welcome up to 200 people in person while respecting social distancing requirements. As a TIANS member, you are invited to attend as our guest at no charge.   

Join us for this inspirational afternoon and learn about General Hillier's leadership principles that will help you navigate through this once in a lifetime challenge. 

Space is Limited. Register Today. Based on demand, numbers per TIANS member property are limited. Also a limited number of seats will be available to non-members at a cost with proceeds going toward Seniors and Veterans Organizations.

Keynote Speaker

General Rick Hillier, Former Chief of the Defence Staff for Canadian Forces

Born in Newfoundland and Labrador, General Rick Hillier joined the Canadian Forces as soon as he could. Having enrolled in the Canadian Forces in 1973 through the Regular Officer Training Plan program, he graduated from Memorial University of Newfoundland in 1975 with a Bachelor of Science Degree. After completing his armour officer classification training, he joined his first regiment, the 8th Canadian Hussars (Princess Louise’s) in Petawawa, Ontario. Subsequently, he served with, and later commanded, the Royal Canadian Dragoons in Canada and Germany.
