Guess what? Another volunteer opportunity!
This came to us through the Women in Business Centre:
...
I am in the final stages of site development for www.chickbliss.com and am in the process of launching my marketing plan.
I am looking for some help - perhaps some students from the public relations program to create some exciting press releases as well as plan a launch party and contact media and build "buzz".
Basically the site is about helping women express to their partners (and themselves) what they really want in their relationships. Especially the little things that are hard to say but mean a lot. (Main product: A personalized instruction manual created quickly online by answering ~40 questions and then a book is created to either download or have published and sent to you.)
You can get an idea of the concept I'm getting across by some of these videos I have created with a local production crew.

More on networks
Interested in social networks? Do you wonder where all the great leaders have gone? Yes, me, too.
Check out Michael Cayley's latest on how social networks and leaders can influence an organization:
Looking for Leadership? Invest in Your Networks
Thanks, Michael, for keeping us in the loop. We appreciate when graduates of our program, like yourself, remain part of our network.

Getting connected...from Grad Michael Cayley
Good things happen when you get connected, that is the moral of this story.
A few months ago, fellow Mount alum Andre Mazerolle (who I have still not met in person, sadly!) set me up to discuss my Social Capital Value Add idea with his friend Steven Rayson, Chartered Business Valuator & Certified Fraud Examiner at Deloitte Canada.
Fast forward to a couple of weeks ago and the Women of Influence Luncheon Series , sponsored by Deloitte, comes on to radar. Emails ensued and thanks to Steven, here we go with a win-win-win alignment of interests that is designed to bring two messages to MSVU Toronto Alumnae:
1. There is great potential in this group of more than 700 hundred in the GTA if we connect.
2. It is worth investing some time, money and effort into.
The October 22nd Women of Influence Event in Toronto is world class. It features a presentation by co-Chief Creative Officers of Olgivy Toronto, Janet Kestin & Nancy Vonk.
They are the creative directors behind the film "Evolution"part of the Dove Campaign for Real Beauty.
Steven has generously donated two tickets to the event to encourage MSVU Toronto Alumnae to connect with their peers. It is very simple, everyone who connects by adding their names to the MSVU Toronto Alumnae email list between now and October 20th has a chance to win the pair of tickets (value - $176.40).
It is very, very simple - put your email in this box (or the one at the bottom of this blog) and hit subscribe:
