GBC Leadership Conference

Yesterday was the GBC's inaugural NSITE Leadership conference, hosting such fantastic speakers as Michael Lee Chin, Don Morrison from RIM (my old boss), Robert Deluce from Porter Airlines and a host of other tremendous speakers. Topics ranged from entrepreneurship to social responsibility.

Each speaker had their own individual flair and unique experiences for how they got to be where they are now. They talked about the challenges they faced, the frameworks they relied on and how there is a constant struggle against complacency caused by success.

The event was hosted at the Hyatt on King in Downtown Toronto as the event was too large for our Fleck Atrium. I believe that there were over 300 people in attendance.

Many of the students had a great time and several members of our class were excited and already planning ideas for how they could build on the work done by this year's founding team.
