🎥 BEYOND THE BUSINESS 🎥

A sense of belonging and community may be hard to find when your business has clients that are geographically disconnected from where your home base is. When you are used to operating out of province, or even out of country, it can be a knee-jerk reaction to put local opportunity on the back burner for business development.

Teena Sauve, Co-Founder and Sr. Advisor of @botreeinc, currently serves as the Sandbox Board of Directors Chair and has been a loyal supporter since opening in 2019. Teena has been immersed in the County of Simcoe community for over 17 years, but never fully harnessed the power that could come from connecting with local businesses. Since being involved with Sandbox, Teena has captured the feeling of belonging here; more aware and knowledgeable of what businesses are currently operating here, the impact they are making, all while being able to capitalize on creating connections for her own clients to the local opportunities that exist.

Hear how Teena continues to give back, share knowledge, and develop with Sandbox. 💙

🎥 [BEYOND THE BUSINESS] 🎥

As the Regional Director for the York Simcoe CFO Centre, Jeff Bond has learned professional success doesn’t always translate into personal happiness. Beyond Jeff’s role, he realized seizing opportunities to make a positive change in your life is critical to future outcomes that will propel you and those around you to new heights.

That could be taking the time to invest in yourself, finding work/life balance to better your health, or finding opportunities to give back to your community with mentorship and expertise gained from past career milestones. Hear in this video how Jeff was able to conquer limiting beliefs in order to align professional success with personal prosperity.
