It was special day due the fact there were 5 men and the rest all women  it was like being a fish out of water! Marc and I had our hands rubbed (separately) which was great experience, had picture taken with the muscle bound firemen who were selling their calendar and lastly met some extraordinary women who had succeed in various types of businesses.

Had a great conversation with an attendee who had heard me speak about networking at a previous talk and learned more about what she wants to do and how to utilized her unique ability.

Next day Marc Gordon was speaking at Social Media event sponsored by Constant Contact at a Cineplex movie theatre in the Yonge and Sheppard area.
