SUMMARY:Co-Design Your Network
DESCRIPTION:Most networking workshops teach people what to do. This one is different – participants actually build their strategy in the room.\n\n\nMost networking workshops teach people what to do. This one is different – participants actually build their strategy in the room. \nThrough a guided co-design process\, each person leaves with a personalized\, actionable networking plan tailored to their specific goals\, industry\, and personality. We could cover things like auditing your existing network and crafting a compelling elevator pitch\, to preparing for events\, writing outreach that gets replies\, and building a simple system to maintain relationships over time. It’s practical\, interactive\, and immediately usable\, giving them a clear plan and the confidence to execute it. \nAbout the Presenter: Trina Boos \nTrina is the Founder and CEO of Boost Academy of Excellence\, where she helps professionals get the polish and presence needed to advance. She specializes in executive presence\, communication\, business etiquette\, and the social skills that separate good professionals from truly memorable ones.Trina also hosts Boosted\, a podcast revealing the unwritten rules of professional success – from workplace civility to navigating generational communication gaps. \nPreviously\, Trina built and scaled Boost Agents into a seven-figure recruitment agency\, placing thousands of marketing\, creative\, and digital professionals with leading technology companies\, global financial institutions\, and top-tier advertising agencies – achieving an industry-leading 98% candidate retention rate through a human-centered\, purpose-driven approach. In 2001\, she founded Ad Lounge\, growing it from a Sheridan College networking group into a 5\,000+ member professional community\, and later pioneered programs like the Next Gen Dinner Series and DishCourse\, connecting emerging leaders with C-suite executives while raising funds for youth charity Sketch. \nTrina has served on advisory boards for Rogers Communications\, TAAFI\, Seneca College\, and DX3 Canada\, and has spoken at conferences including CIBC’s International Professionals Network\, DesignX\, FITC\, CPA Ontario’s Leadership Exchange\, the Canadian Immigrant Fair\, and the Ajax Pickering Board of Trade. Her work has been featured in the Toronto Star\, Financial Post\, and Women of Influence. \nHer belief: technical skills get you hired – but the way you make people feel gets you promoted. \nDo It In Durham Entrepreneurship Week \nNovember 16 – 20st 2026 \nJoin us for the 14th year of ‘Do It In Durham Entrepreneurship Week’. \nDurham Region’s celebration of entrepreneurship is held each November during Global Entrepreneurship Week. \nDo It In Durham Entrepreneurship Week is a collaboration of Durham’s business support\, educational and networking organizations who have come together to encourage and support entrepreneurs\, job creators and innovators who create economic growth in the Durham Region. \nTogether We Build

SUMMARY:Sales Psychology: Mastering the Mind Behind the Sale
DESCRIPTION:Most sales psychology training focuses on understanding the customer. This workshop turns the lens inward.\n\n\nMost sales psychology training focuses on understanding the customer. This workshop turns the lens inward. \nParticipants will explore how their own beliefs\, emotions\, habits\, expectations\, and self-worth influence every sales conversation. They will learn to recognize the internal patterns that create hesitation\, procrastination\, fear of rejection\, discomfort around money\, people-pleasing\, inconsistent follow-up\, and reluctance to confidently ask for the sale. \nCombining practical sales strategy with psychology\, and mindset work\, the workshop will help participants separate their personal value from their sales results\, manage their emotional state\, establish stronger boundaries\, build trust\, and take consistent\, purposeful action. \nParticipants will leave with greater confidence\, emotional resilience\, and clarity. They will be better equipped to approach prospects without desperation\, handle rejection without taking it personally\, communicate their value with conviction\, and create a healthier\, more sustainable relationship with selling. \nBecause when the salesperson changes\, the sales experience and the results change. \nAbout the Presenter: Zehra Mahoon \nZehra is a dedicated and proud mom of two. In addition\, she has 3 fur babies. She is deeply involved in volunteering and supporting various causes in her community. \nZehra has worked in the financial industry in many capacities over the years.

She has also had the opportunity to work in brand management and retail management with various brands such as Nike\, Levi Strauss\, Estee Lauder\, Thomas Cook\, Color 4 Kids\, Pizza Express\, TGIF and others. \nIn 2022\, she retired from the corporate world\, after over 30 years of service. Now she dedicates her time towards helping other people achieve their ambitions as a personal advisor and business coach. What started as her personal passion to grow and achieve her full potential as a business owner\, corporate super star\, mother\, daughter\, wife\, sister and friend\, since her retirement has turned into an obsession for helping others do the same.
