Everyone across the country is desperately trying to figure out how to ensure the success of their local businesses and the community in which they live. There is no simple answer to what the future will look like and how that success can be found, but that doesn’t mean there is nothing to be done.
Join us for this Zoom Conference where Doug and Heather from 13 Ways will help our business communities understand HOW the world is changing, WHY it is changing, and provide practical examples of what your business, your team, and your community can do to adapt to that change.

Musical Guests
Quote the Raven
Jordan Coaker and Kirsten Rodden-Clarke
Beginning their musical partnership back in 2011, Coaker – frontman for award-winning Newfoundland alternative rock group Waterfront Fire – and the soon-to-be-discovered hidden gem of Atlantic Canada’s songstresses Kirsten Rodden-Clarke, made an immediate and lasting impression with their 2016 debut EP Misty Mountains.
Prominent showcases for MusicNL in 2016 and 2017 and a successful island tour followed, paired with MusicNL nominations in both the Rising Star and Folk/Roots Recording of the Year Categories and a prominent publishing deal with Sound of Pop have cemented Quote The Raven as a band on the rise in Atlantic Canada.
