Financial Advisor Speaking Testimonials November 4th & 5th Independent Financial Brokers Summit

November 18, 2008 by Simon

Monday was a day off for Laura and I at the magnificent Banff Springs Hotel. We arrived on Sunday night in the rain and didn’t think to look outside the next morning until we walked into the dining room of the hotel for breakfast and we just stood there in awe of the panorama outside of the dining room windows.

Funny, just before going to breakfast, my coach Chris Barrow and I were e-mailing back and forth about creating a Live 2-Day Leading Advisor Master Mind Workshop in 2009 and Banff would be the Western location to do this and the beauty would be an inspiration for all.

Laura and I went to the spa in the morning for a massage and then had a walk round the town of Banff which included a trip to Starbies.

It’s 5:30pm on Monday night and we are going to be joining the team of Funeral Plans-Canada at Giorgio’s for dinner at 6:30pm.

I’m the opening speaker at Funeral Plans-Canada 11th Anniversary/Annual Conference - November 18-19.
