Summer Networking,
for a Prosperous Fall
July 2020 Issue
Greetings!

I hope everyone had a very happy Canada Day. We are very lucky to live in such an amazing and supportive country and township.

Though times are different than last year there is a lot going on in the business world. We have some online events coming up this summer that I am excited to share with you in the newsletter this month.

We are very sorry to hear that the Uxbridge Fall Fair is cancelled this year. The UNG has been having a booth at the Uxbridge Fall Fair every year for the past 15 years. We really miss the opportunity to meet so many of you in the community this year. 

Thank you to all members and guests who have been attending our virtual monthly networking events in April, May and June. Our last live networking event was just 2 days before the lockdown in March. The UNG has been actively supporting our members during the lockdown by adding virtual events called Voice Your Concern, or Offer a Solution Event Series, with Annie Hardock co-hosting the event with Lisha at The Uxbridge Cosmos. Please watch some of the recordings on our YouTube Playlist. Subscribe to the UNG YouTube channel. I will include the links in this newsletter too!

Hello everyone, this is Jeremy Hannan from CanCov Medical and I’m very pleased to introduce our team to the UNG group. We at CanCov are focused on maintaining clean and safe workspace environments for groups in all areas, ranging from small business, to educational institutions, medical facilities, and even private homes. Clean environments are now vital part of our lives and our line of new and innovative products, including all types of PPE are made to provide the required solutions.

Health Canada regulations are evolving daily. Our model is to provide only Made in Canada , or Health Canada Approved products made to protect your staff and clients from the moment they enter your doors, a bumper to bumper protection of your premises. Starting with 99.99% antimicrobial copper coatings on your front door knobs and all other high touch areas within your workspace. Our hands free, self service, high volume body temperature unit, screens every single person before entering your building. Our air purifiers bring consumers the highest quality certified clean air technology in the world. Our UV sanitation line covers everything from office space items like key boards or POS machines to our worlds fastest room disinfection system, the Mobile UVC.

Just imagine a washroom that disinfects itself after every use. Or a hospital room that can be disinfected by the patient herself with the push of a button. Or a programmable smart sink that dispenses ozonated water, provides a ready source of disinfectant in every room, disinfects hands even without soap, and auto-disinfects itself. And just imagine having all these user protection devices connected, wirelessly, securely, providing usage and maintenance data to enable insight and management of environmental infection prevention measures within a facility. In short, we can at CanCov make all that possible.

We look forward to addressing everyone in the Uxbridge communities' concerns, so please contact us anytime.

Speak up! 5 Day Challenge
Free Speak Up Challenge recommended by Annie:
  • Your followers need to hear from you
  • Speak Up! Change your business, Change the world
  • Your Story can be the biggest pivot in your business
 
True or False, how many of you think that speaking can absolutely change your business?
  • How many new potential clients you can reach by giving just ONE powerful talk?
  • How many new people you’ll add from other people’s platforms and audiences?
  • Who will be googling your website and socials while you’re still speaking...
  • Who will be excited to pay you and start working with you as soon you finish your talk...
 
That’s the power of  STORYTELLING

Speaking is an easy and effective way to create a powerful following.
 
Now raise your hand if you’re thinking… but who would want to listen to me?
 
My dear friend Odette has been in your shoes. When she first started, she never thought in a zillion years that her life story could change and inspire people’s lives, and people would pay to listen to her. 
 
I (Annie) attended Odette’s Speak Up! event over a year and a half ago in Toronto and in Florida, Odette’s events had changed my life. I know how powerful it is to grow my business and my communications skill through Speaking and Storytelling.
  
Being a master storyteller in your business will set you apart from everyone else. And for that you don’t have to have a crazy extraordinary life story. 
 
In Odette’s Speak up! 5 Day Challenge in July she will teach you exactly how to:
 
  • Find your “Soul Story” that best supports your mission and message to the world
  • Recognise the aha moments that will captivate your audience so they fall in love with you instantly
  • Create offers that will fit perfectly into your story 
  • Sell while on stage or on screen feeling confident and aligned selling to your audience
  • Know exactly how to pitch yourself to get the online gigs that you want
 
Ready? Let’s get you on your path to create more influence, impact and income!
 
You won’t want to miss this!
