A crisis communication plan is an investment, not a cost!

Written by Robyn T. Braley 

We tend to think, "It will never happen to us!" And then, it does. Is your company prepared for the unthinkable? 

Having a crisis repsonse plan is usually on the to-do list but is often put aside due to more pressing issues. However, executing a well-written plan can save lives, calm fears, and provide a structure for responding to the event and moving forward.

Yahoo! What You Need to Know to Survive the Stampede 2022 Networking Marathon

Make a great first impression at Calgary Stampede events!

Written by Robyn T. Braley

First impressions are everything. But so are last impressions. Make sure both are the best that they can be! 

Don't be known as, that guy or gal who threw up on the boss's cowboy boots. That will definitely be remembered. 

The Calgary Stampede is billed as the greatest outdoor show on earth. It's also a city-wide networking marathon. 

Stampede is hard to describe to people who have never experienced one. The Calgary Stampede is a city-wide celebration than an event confined to a geographic location.

While 1.3 million+ will pass through the Stampede Park turnstiles for the 10-day exhibition, all-star rodeo and agricultural fair, a celebration of western heritage and community spirit spreads like wildfire through the city.

Companies spend thousands of PR dollars to make their events ones to remember. Being on the invite list gives access to people you would never otherwise meet.

Company presidents join 100’s of employees wearing cowboy hats, shirts, blue jeans and boots. Stampede is a time for building relationships with employees, clients, suppliers and the community.
