While my new life in Whiteway is quite different from that as CEO and businessman, sometimes I still get to bust out the old networking (or is it schmoozing??) skills – like I did this Monday at a St. John’s Board of Trade luncheon.
I was there as Ocean Delight was announced as a new member. We chose yesterday because Danny Williams was the speaker. He gave an excellent presentation where he talked about being the CEO of the St. John’s Ice Caps, Dannyville (the massive $5Billion industrial, commercial, residential complex he is building next to Mount Pearl), and the Lower Churchill Falls project which he started and completely supports.
There were about 400 – 500 people there and I was in networking overdrive. I gave out brochures and business cards like the Tasmanian devil. As you can see I didn’t have time to take many pictures – most were all a blur, much like the 2 1/2 hours I spent there. It was a lot of fun.
I keep saying I’m proof you can teach an old dog new tricks, but that doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy the old tricks from time to time!
