This morning, we had a full house for our first Mississippi Mills Business Breakfast of 2024 at the Almonte Civitan Club, including 25-30 new attendees!

Guests had the opportunity to network, enjoy a delicious breakfast served up by Almonte Civitan Club volunteers, and hear from guest speaker, Executive Coach Tina Collins.

Tina is an award-winning ICF-accredited coach with over 25 years of experience. She works with business leaders and their teams to turn their strengths into force multipliers and reveal what’s hiding in the blind spots to address potential weaknesses to make better decisions. She spoke about self-awareness, how to improve and make new connections with others, and how those same connections can inspire hope in your business and personal life.
