The Ripple Effect

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 eighteen 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, they show aspiring networkers the true meaning of perseverance and how they can make networking opportunities fulfilling experiences.

“The Ripple Effect is a thought-provoking collection of individuals who have taken networking to a whole new science. An invaluable tool, bringing together great minds and sharing their thoughts, spreading the word on how to seed ideas and watch them grow and blossom in both life and business.”
