Lift Startups: Hustle The Help With Vancouver Island Entrepreneurs

Rosemarie Barnes' cover image on the LIFT Vancouver Island Local Business Directory says it all: Speak to engage. Speak to succeed. Rosemarie is an international speaker, best-selling author, and "executive presentation trainer." She has a passion for helping people find the voice they need to succeed. We're excited to have Rosemarie in our LIFT community for several reasons. One, she's offering a 20% discount on "presentation training" to LIFT members. Two, Rosemarie is an example of Vancouver Island talent serving markets far beyond our local communities. In her case, she's working with clients across North American and in Europe. I talked to Rosemarie on October 26, 2018, shortly before her November 15 speaking and workshop engagement with the Comox Valley Women's Business Network. She told me about her business, why she started it, and her passion for the work she's doing. We also talked about her biggest challenges in life, her favourite books, and her favourite place to eat cinnamon buns on the Island.
