I'm Maurice Cardinal
(that's me in the video).

In 2006 I wrote and published
Leverage Olympic Momentum,
a popular book designed to teach business leaders how to capitalize on events in their communities.

My innovative process was a turning point in promotion that companies like lululemon and Scotiabank leveraged very effectively.

The Olympic related special events strategies I developed over a seven year period have been adapted to work for almost any business anywhere around the world.

Throughout my ten year Olympic journey I learned that C-Suite executives often hesitated to capitalize on fleeting opportunities because they didn't feel as comfortable as younger colleagues who used social media.

Oddly ... it still holds true today.

Today, business is about transparency, and so is social media. Consequently, if you're not using social media, your clients and customers might very well wonder what you have to hide.

The reality is that everyone is intimidated by the complexities and rapid changes of social media, but senior executives especially hesitate to ask for assistance because they fear it will make them look incompetent.

It's exactly what their younger colleagues want them to think.

My private workshops and training sessions get you up to speed quickly and alleviate stress immediately.

Below is a short list of CEOs and business owners of "traditional businesses" who use social media because it works. You can easily join all their SocMed communities for free, tapping into what they share in real time, and hear about it at the same time the NY Times hears about it.
