Is this workshop for you?

This workshop is for the non-Aboriginal businessperson looking for ways to understand Aboriginals and work with them. The workshop is packed full of useful tips to help you decide how to deliver superior customer service as well as how to market your products and services within the Aboriginal community. I have collaborated with Bob Joseph; the son of a Hereditary Chief and an associate professor at Royal Roads University in Victoria B.C., to construct a marketing workshop for businesses who want a better understanding of the Aboriginal people, and how to partner with them.
