Dalene of Networking Naturally!

Growing up as the oldest of seven daughters in rural Nova Scotia, Dalene Allen learned entrepreneurship at her mother's handcraft shop, "The Killick." This early exposure to business relationships became the foundation for her remarkable career through retail merchandising, executive positions, and eventually leading Business Network International (BNI) across three Atlantic provinces.

Dalene shares game-changing perspectives on networking that challenge conventional wisdom. Rather than approaching events with sales in mind, she advocates for human connection first—"When you build the relationship, business happens organically." Her three-part interaction formula has proven to have generated millions in business for herself and others.

For those who dread networking events, Dalene offers practical wisdom born from experience. Whether you're looking to grow your business, advance your career, or simply build more meaningful connections, Dalene's approach to "Networking Naturally" provides a refreshing alternative to traditional networking tactic, not to mention her own personal story has a lot more twists and turns than you may think!

Join us for a pint at The Clayton Park Bar & Grill, as we uncover what exactly makes Dalene so great at bringing people together.

It’s dry in Nova Scotia. But you don’t have to be! Stay out of the woods, find a patio, and drink beer, wine and whiskey so you save the water when needed.

Rick Currier - Breaking Free From Corporate Success to Entrepreneurial Purpose ( CEO CO FOUNDER OF PARTNER.VISTA )

What drives someone to walk away from a successful corporate career to pursue an entrepreneurial dream? Rick takes us on his compelling journey from SVP of Sales to becoming CEO of Partner Vista—a decision that meant leaving behind financial security, benefits, and comfort for the unknown.

Now building Partner Vista, Rick offers thought-provoking insights on how AI is transforming sales careers by potentially eliminating entry-level positions. That could be good and bad for jobs that traditionally serve as training grounds for future sales leaders.

If you've ever felt misaligned in your career or dreamed of charting your own course, this conversation may resonate deeply and might just inspire your own professional reinvention. Join us at Station Six Pub for this fun, border crossing episode.

Earlier this week we featured this organization where we did a dive into Human Trafficking.
This organization helps people who live in this terrifying sector of our world.

They are running this organization without any government funding.

They need our help‼️
Please connect with your local provincial and federal politicians to highlight the amazing work they do.
Nova Scotia Buzz shared this post and because of this: The podcast post has been seen by 550,000 sets of eyes 👀 and climbing!
550,000 sets of eyes is incredible but they need more than just awareness.
Eyes don’t pay the bills! 💰

Recently, they found out that they will be evicted from the building they operate in now because the building has been sold.
So they are in urgent need of a commercial space to move to in Yarmouth.

If you know anyone looking to rent commercial space, or if you can spare a donation, please reach out to Thriving Twogether Society!
