“Never exit the gift shop of adversity empty-handed.”

Absolutely loved this line today from @HamzaK as the final keynote of #GTN2023. A reminder that unwillingness to adopt and change with the times is a one way ticket to irrelevancy & failure, both personally & professionally.

[Jess Taylor @JessTaylorAB]

Really enjoyed this conversation on the tourism priorities in Alberta and specifically in the North. So many opportunities for our province!

Also, the quality of the intro and marketing videos?? Well done to all teams involved 👏 #GTN2023

“People always said to me that I was the first, oh Ashley is the only one. But the most important thing to me is knowing I’m not the last.”

Such an inspirational keynote speech from @AshCallingbull this morning at #GTN2023. Thank you for joining us, Ashley!

It’s not every day you get to hear from the founder of Kijiji @jebannister! Some funny quips, some thoughtful anecdotes, and an hour very well spent. Thank you to Growing the North for a fantastic first day of #GTN2023!

[Jess Taylor @JessTaylorAB]

Always a pleasure hearing from Minister @TravisToewsAB, a tried and true Albertan, on next week’s budget and the future of Alberta. Thank you for being here with us Minister! #GTN2023

“Who knows the phrase ‘treat others the way you want to be treated?’ Let’s change that to ‘treat others the way THEY want to be treated.’ Everyone isn’t on the same path and we need to be respectful of that.” Love this from Chelsey Quirk from @FlyYEG #GTN2023

I’m so excited to be at my first Growing the North conference today and tomorrow in Grande Prairie. Current session? Alberta Scale-Up and Growth Accelerator Programs with @ABInnovates and co. Fantastic panelists, and a great discussion #GTN2023

Was a privilege to edit and share this podcast with you all. A really engaging listen, and one that made me pause several times to sit with his words for a moment. A highly recommended listen! #AlbertaBETTER

🧵It's #JobsDay! October was a good month for the CDN job market, adding 108k new positions—the most since Feb, when Omicron-related restrictions were lifted in ON & QC. All 10 provinces saw employment grow last month, including AB which added nearly 7k new jobs. #abecon #cdnecon

The most amusing part of watching the Conservative Party of Canada livestream on YouTube, is experiencing the…erm…eclectic comments in real time 😅

[Jess Taylor @JessTaylorAB]

Nothing kills a productive working session quite like your AirPods dying right at the best point of a song.

Taking this as a sign. Tea break? Tea break!

🧵 It’s #JobsDay! With Canada’s and Alberta’s labour market now fully recovered, growth appears to have reached a peak. Employment was essentially flat from June to July nationally (-31k or -0.2%) and provincially (+300 or +0.01%). #abpoli #abecon

People who add personality to their out of office replies are my favourite type of people.

[Jess Taylor @JessTaylorAB]

The one thing I wasn’t expecting when I started working at @BizCouncilAB was my sudden affinity for non-fiction books. Who even AM I anymore??

[Jess Taylor @JessTaylorAB]

Wrapping up the day with a @WestofCentreCBC podcast recording with @kathleen_petty, @VassyKapelos, @zainvelji, @mattsolberg and @KellyCryderman. Thank you to all for the engaging dialogue at today’s @NewWestPA #AlbertaRelaunch event. It’s been an absolutely fascinating listen!

[Jess Taylor @JessTaylorAB]

I’m incredibly fortunate to work alongside @ScottCrockatt and @planetjanetyyc and to get exposure from people like @SoniaKont and @Keith_McLaugh. Really enjoying today’s #AlbertaRelaunch event by @NewWestPA.
