Topic: Become an Indigenous Consultant

 

Description: Indigenous Peoples are the fastest growing demographic in Canada and there has never been a better time to become your own boss. Full-time employment is becoming more and more scarce due to lack of job security and continual change. No one is safe from being "Let go". Kendal takes you into the world of what it takes to launch your own consulting business (even while you work full-time). As a 4 time entrepreneur of the year, recipient of over 25 awards in business and mentor to hundreds of Indigenous Business leaders, Kendal will share everything he has learned to ensure you have what you need to launch your own business. The future requires us to become independent. Become your own consultant today!

Kendal NetmakerKendal Netmaker is one of Canada’s leading entrepreneurs and speakers, from Sweetgrass First Nation, SK. He was raised by a single mother who cared for Kendal and his three younger sisters while growing up in poverty and few chances for opportunity.

 

In grade 5, Kendal’s life changed forever when his best friend from South Africa helped him to play soccer by paying for his soccer fees and driving him to games/practices. This act of kindness opened up a whole other world for him that he would have never otherwise experienced. Two years later, when the family was relocating, they gave Kendal’s family their car; it was a life-changing gift that helped his mother access all kinds of basic necessities that had previously been difficult – and meant that Kendal and his sisters could now take part in after school sports. 

 

The incredible generosity of his childhood friend’s family inspired Kendal to give back when he launched his company, Neechie Gear® – a lifestyle apparel brand that empowers youth through sports. A percentage of all Neechie Gear® profits go toward funding underprivileged youth to take part in sports. While finishing two degrees from the University of Saskatchewan, Kendal worked on growing the brand, which was founded out of Kendal’s small, one-bedroom apartment. After graduation, Kendal opened several stores while sharing his story as keynote speaker. The brand is now sold to consumers across North America through exclusive retail partners and online.

 

To date, Kendal has founded and invested in 5 businesses, the author of Driven To Succeed and won over 25 business awards, including runner-up at the YBI Global Entrepreneur of the Year & one of Canada’s Top 40 Under 40®. Kendal speaks professionally to thousands of people each year on resilience, leadership and the power of telling your story.

 

He lives with his wife and two children in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, where he continues to run his company and provide executive leadership coaching to organizations.

 

Kendal is on a mission to empower entrepreneurs and leaders around the globe by demonstrating that regardless of where you come from and what you have gone through in your life, you have the power to enact change. Become who you were born to be!

Topic: Indigenous Entrepreneurship – Success Story

Description: The story of Michelle Cameron CEO and Founder of Dreamcatcher Promotions, INAC and Dreamcatcher Executive Offices. Born and raised in a single mother household in Winnipeg Manitoba. An early on entrepreneur who has strived and persevered though the hardships, financial strain, and sacrifices to run successful businesses. Despite all the odds against Michelle being an Indigenous woman without a mentor to guide her - she has become a success story for many. After 10 years of business Michelle knows what it takes to start, run, and maintain a successful business with the now knowledge to guide others to also own their own business. Dreamcatcher Promotions is Canada’s largest Indigenous owned promotional company.

Speaker: Michelle Cameron

Michelle CameronBio: My name is Michelle Cameron, I was born and was raised in Winnipeg, Manitoba. With strong pride, I am a treaty status woman, a band member of Peguis First Nation, and a mother of five beautiful children. I am the owner and founder of Dreamcatcher Promotions, INAC and Dreamcatcher Executive Offices.
      In 2011, I started my first business Dreamcatcher Embroidery as a home-based business. In 2013, Dreamcatcher Embroidery was changed to Dreamcatcher Promotions to better establish and describe Dreamcatcher Promotions as a business which offered much more services beyond embroidery. We broadened our services’ which included a variety of printed promotional products and apparel for businesses, agencies, and organizations.   
The first five years of business were difficult, and we were met with many struggles, and many days were often filled with self-doubt. There were times of financial strain, long hours, self and family sacrifices and feelings of wanting to give up. Thankfully we persevered throughout the hardships and put in the hard work and stayed committed to keep growing and turn into the successful company I knew we could become.
          In 2018, Dreamcatcher Promotions was gaining strong brand awareness, and increasing its client base and became well recognized within the Indigenous and non-Indigenous business community.  We launched our Dreamcatcher Promotions website for online ordering and were focused on advertising and promoting our products and services through social media. 
         To date, Dreamcatcher Promotions continues to be successful.  I continue to be the sole proprietor and manage the day-to-day operations, with 56 staff members. Dreamcatcher Promotions has evolved into becoming the largest Indigenous owned promotional company in Canada and is one of the largest promotional companies in Winnipeg.

As CEO of Bayside Development Corporation, the business arm of Paqtnkek Mi’kmaw Nation, that commitment has fueled a vision to maximize future employment and business creation for Paqtnkek community members and beyond.

With the completion of Phase One (development of the Bayside Travel Centre), she’s now focused on Phase Two of the highway showcase and working towards the construction of a new business centre.

It’s an alliance that will drive them towards ‘energy sovereignty’ and becoming a net zero contributor in the fight against global warming and working on the Truth to Reconciliation in building business and sector industry partnerships such as Maritime Launch Services, Signal Gold, and Clearwater Seafoods. Rose became the first Mi’kmaq person to join the board of the Antigonish Chamber of Commerce.

Title: Financial Wellness: When was the last time you asked yourself
“how is my relationship with money?”

 

Description: If that question made you uncomfortable, you’re not alone. In fact, 61% of women would rather talk about their own death than money. Talking about money is essential but for many of us, it’s the last thing we feel comfortable talking about. Every decision we make in our personal (and business) journeys has a financial impact. These decisions are guided by how we perceive and define our relationship with money, and how that shapes our attitudes, decisions and behaviours when it comes to managing money. Understanding our relationship with money can help us be aware of how we interact with our – from how we earn, save, spend, borrow, and invest it to how we use it to meet our commitments and take care of the things and people that matter most. It's time to break this last taboo so we can build a better path to financial wellness. In this webinar, Shannon will have you connect to your money mindset and look at your relationship to money in new ways.

Title: Back to the Basics of Personal Budgeting

Description: Developing a successful Personal Finance Plan can help self, loved ones and communities reach financial stability, security, autonomy, abundance, and peace of mind. A critical step in the process of developing a successful Financial Plan is the use of a Personal Budget. A Personal Budget created with meaningful goals and relatable to one’s personal circumstances is the launching point for other financial successes, such as creating savings, growing assets and reducing debt and liabilities. Think of a Personal Budget as a “Money Map” for one’s hard-earned dollars. With the right preparation and actions, a Personal Budget can help one safely and successfully reach many financial destinations. Yet despite the benefits of this financial tool, many people from all walks of life still do not have or use a Personal Budget.
