"Karen Williams' presentation 'Yes, Your Small Town Business Can Be a Big Success!' was a huge hit at our Women in Business Conference & Trade Show. Karen is a dynamic, entertaining and informative speaker who connected well with the audience and enthusiastically shared her knowledge and experience in creating and running a successful business in a small town . Her recently released book, Small Town Business, BIG $uccess! is an excellent compliment to her presentation." Kathy Medd, Manager Napanee & District Chamber of Commerce and 2007 Women in Business Conference & Trade Show Coordinator. "Just a few words to say 'thank you' for the great presentation you did at Ottawa's Countryside's "Beyond City Lights Conference" in Ottawa, Ontario . Your enthusiasm and willingness to share information with so many other small businesses was a breath of fresh air. We have been to many conferences for small businesses and in as much as banks and government agencies are willing to help, they don't "live" our life. Time is precious for us all and if we are going to listen to someone, they have to be "walking in our shoes" for it to be worth our while. You met the criteria, thank you!" Syd Gravel, Co ordinator of Beyond City Lights, Ottawa & Co-owner of Penny's Fudge Factory, Fitzroy Harbour, Ontario "Karen's presentation to members of the Quinte West Chamber of Commerce, the Mayor and other local dignitaries had the whole crowd excited about the possibilities for our own community. Her enthusiasm is infectious and she had us all thinking about possible business opportunities in Quinte West and the partnerships available." Suzanne Andrews, Manger, Quinte West Chamber of Commerce, Trenton, Ontario |
