The Ripple Effect - Networking for Success

David Tsubouchi, Marc Kealey

Summary

“How did you get where you are today?” At public speaking events, this is the most frequent question young professionals ask former Ontario politician David Tsubouchi and governance and communications consultant Marc Kealey. 
		 
The answer: it is impossible to succeed alone. A friend once said, “A better network equals a better net worth.” This is not to say networking is purely transactional or about how many people one knows: networking is about building relationships based on mutual respect and trust so everyone involved can thrive. 
		 
Tsubouchi, Kealey, and 18 other accomplished and prominent Canadians have come together to share their stories and advice on networking for success. They represent people from different sectors who started with nothing and faced more barriers than others because of their gender, ethnicity, and/or immigrant status. From entrepreneurs to executives, their experiences show aspiring networkers the true meaning of perseverance and how they can make networking opportunities fulfilling experiences.

The Minority Experience -...

Adrian Pei

It's hard to be in the minority. If you're the only person from your ethnic or cultural background in your organization or team, you probably know the challenges of being misunderstood or marginalized. You might find yourself inadvertently overlooked or actively silenced. Even when a work environment is not blatantly racist or hostile, people of color often struggle to thrive—and may end up leaving the organization. Being a minority is not just about numbers. It's about understanding pain, power, and the impact of the past. Organizational consultant Adrian Pei describes key challenges ethnic minorities face in majority culture organizations. He unpacks how historical forces shape contemporary realities, and what both minority and majority cultures need to know in order to work together fruitfully. If you're a cultural minority working in a majority culture organization, or if you're a majority culture supervisor of people from other backgrounds, learn the dynamics at work. And be encouraged that you can help make things better so that all can flourish.

Nigel Hollis

Mobile Technologies Crash Course

IntroBooks Team

Communication is the key to success. Communication has helped us establish our societies and build communities. It is the human connection which is why humans have constantly researched ways in which they can communicate with each other – not just face to face, but also when they are located in two different locations. Everything from birds flying from one place to another with messages to the invention of phones that facilitated long distance calling was a result of our need to communicate with people in far locations as effectively as possible. 
The mobile phone technology brought in a wave of changes to how telephony was perceived. With mobile phones, it became easier for people to talk to each other even when they were in different locations and that too without the limitations of the wired phones. While early mobile phones were very heavy making it difficult for people to carry the phone along with them wherever they went, mobile technologies helped in introducing advancements to these portable devices making it easier for people to carry it everywhere. 
Where early mobile phones could have weighed almost about 1kg, mobile phones today are as light as 130 grams. Other technologies like camera, Bluetooth and app development introduced such functionalities and features to mobile phones which may not have been expected when the device was first invented.

The Science of Protection -...

Raamon Newman, Paolo D'Angelo,...

Protection is the New Fair Advantage for Any Leader, CEO & Investor
We're not talking about outside-in based protection, through insurance, legal contracts, body guards, security surveillance systems or cyberware. Although very useful, these are reactive and therefore limited.
If a leader creates negativity or makes wrong decisions it always comes back in some shape or form. We're talking about proactive universal inside-out based protection, where the right thought at the right time is your saving grace and new inspiration.
Unfortunately, through the pressure and busyness of leadership and life we can disconnect from the universal force of protection. (chapter 1 explains what this is).
Ever thought the relentless pursuit of achievement may in some way be diminishing you, your team and your achievements?
Maybe even corrupting your health, shortening your tenure as a leader, diminishing the quality of your life or even losing your life early? Over the last two decades of accelerated change, top CEO’s and executives aged 30-60, from top companies such as Deutsch Bank, Goldman Sachs, Samsung, Nintendo, Apple, JP Morgan, Fonterra, ESPN, Fox News, GE, Papa John’s, SurveyMonkey, Theranos and Tata Motors, have stepped down or exited their roles due to stress induced performance and health issues, conflict, unethical or inappropriate behavior, and unfortunately unexpected early death and suicide.
When the high of achievement wears off, the noise fades, and the silence takes over, what foundation are you standing on? What state do you exist in?
If it’s not a state of fulfillment, which is the real goal beyond achievement, then you have to look at how you’re achieving.
