It's hard to believe that it's been over a month since The Business Transitions Forum (BTF) came to Halifax, NS. This is the 3rd year we have partnered with them. The business leaders we work with see Growth & Transition Strategies as one of the key elements of their business evolution. This is one of the few conferences where entrepreneurs can learn actionable Growth & Transition Strategies from Top Entrepreneurs and service providers. We're grateful that this year, WMI was chosen as the charity of choice for the Conference. We see it as a win-win partnership - in lieu of gifts to the speakers, the conference organizers choose to support high-potential entrepreneurs/organizations in the Atlantic Region taking part in our unique programs. Thank you Mark Stephenson ! Here are some photos from the event, thank you for making it out! Spot yourself? :) #GrowAtlantic #BTFAtlantic #BusinessLeaders #exitstrategies #AtlanticCanada

Last week our latest graduated class (SEP16) of the Strategic Executives Program(SEP) had their first session of many going into their ‘Year 2’. This marks a big milestone for our core programs, since it’s when you have the opportunity to see all the friendships, support that the forum have for each other built over the past year through the unique environment and activities that we’ve organized for them. It’s also when the forums, get a chance to add their own flair to their programming. Thank you Heather Howe and Pierre Battah who have helped guide them through the past year!

Today, we're reflecting on the power of partnerships. ✨ In February, we hosted the first 𝗪𝗠𝗜 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 event with Michael McCain. We thank our generous partner McInnes Cooper for sharing their Halifax office with more than 85 attendees. Strengthening and building partnerships is a key pillar in our 2024-2027 Strategic Plan.
