A place where we can be inspired by others\, therefore\, inspiring ourselves. By sharing our personal stories and journeys\, we are open to discussions and creating a safe environment for us to connect and grow. Stronger together. Let’s learn from one another and create a world that is more accepting of helping each other by supporting and showing empathy for every person.  Maria’s new book\, “Find Yourself\,” helps readers to recognize the signs of narcissism. Based on life scenarios\, we explore signs and ask ourselves thought-provoking questions about our relationships. Through engagement and sharing experiences\, we find ourselves and regain our power. In this book\, victims recount the type of emotional\, relationship-based abuse many of us are familiar with. Most willingly stay in these relationships until they can no longer preserve themselves\, their dignity\, or their sanity. People in these scenarios continually doubt their thoughts\, decisions\, and self-worth until they can no longer tolerate being gaslit by their partners —all traits of narcissistic abuse and the ensuing personal journeys.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”7285″ img_size=”full”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3/4″][vc_column_text]Made by Momma – CBWN Charity of Choice \nA grassroots non-profit organization and registered Canadian charity located in Calgary.

Best practices include: \n\nSharing business cards – Intent is to learn about each other’s business and be able to refer.\nIf given a referral\, may we suggest contact within 24 to 48 hours. Intro email contact works very well.  Your response reflects on both you and your referral partners.\nLearn about each other’s business. This is an opportunity to learn how to refer each other\, not necessarily a sales meeting.  CBWN’ers are your referral partners and connectors.  The main  intent is relationship building; learning more about each other and your businesses. This is recommended in and outside of CBWN meetings.\nHosting a Showcase tables is your opportunity to educate your referral partners and brag about what you do. If you are unable to fulfil your commitment\, you are respectfully requested to advise CBWN owners seven (7) days prior to the meeting.\nHonor your offering by under-promising and over-delivering. Be clear on what you are offering and terms of your guarantees (if applicable).\nRespect each other’s time. If you set a time to meet\, ensure you honor it.  Value each other’s time.\nOpen and honest communication is extremely important. If you meet with a guest outside of CBWN consider what your intention is for the meeting and be honest with the person you are meeting. Meeting with colleagues is an opportunity to collaborate and share and might foster a greater relationship and opportunity which may not be evident if you focus on one agenda.\nPrivacy: Be respectful of information shared. Protect other people’s information.\nIssues between parties – Should be resolved between the two partners and not by CBWN\, in or out of CBWN meetings.\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Formal Program” tab_id=”1634696328115-ee9765d1-611e”][vc_column_text]\n\nRegistration and informal networking\nFood service\nOpening remarks\nIntroductions of owner/directors\nThank you to our volunteers\nEarly bird draw\nFirst Spotlight Speaker\nIntroduction of New Members\nNetworking Circles\nBreak – network with Showcase Table Vendors\nDoor Prizes\nSecond Spotlight Speaker\nSecond Networking Circle\nTestimonial\nAnnouncements\nInspiration\nWrap Up\nInformal Networking\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Spotlight Speakers” tab_id=”1634696476580-b5e0849e-7b7c”][vc_column_text]Two spotlight speakers share their expertise and knowledge direct from their business experience.
