The rising of women is the awakening of everybody.”       We discuss the topic of awards and recognition and the relevance for small business owners….   I’d like to introduce you to our panel: Susan Crossman:  Gold, Women in Literature Brenda Andress:    Silver, Women In Sport Shelley Goldstein:  Silver, Professional Services and                                  Honourable Mention, Thought Leader Lynn McLaughlin:   Silver, Women in Adult Eduction & Training Elaine Uskoski:       Silver, Therapy & Counselling   and myself Trish Tonaj Silver, Business of the Year As the founder for shareyourstories.online:  "We create opportunities for global business owners to be seen, heard, found and hired through three core pillars of visibility, collaboration and community. It was an honour to nominate and share the stage in recognition of these amazing women in business whose work positively contributes to their communities.” Accepting support and recognition from others for a job well done is a great example of the humility and commitment we share as small business owners.  Sharing our stories is how we support and learn from each other.   A few of the things we shared: 1) Accept the nomination! 2) Creating friendships beyond the screen 3) Be open to new possibilities   I’d like to thank our expert panel for sharing your stories and point of view.
