SUMMARY:September Super Saturday
DESCRIPTION:Hotel Blackfoot Calgary\, AB |Saturday\, September 19  | 9 AM – 12:30 PM \n\n\n\nJoin us for a morning of networking and learning \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\nTrish Tutton\nTrish Tutton spent years working in cultures where stress and burnout were seemingly the only way to success. After suffering a shocking loss\, she realized: stress is unavoidable\, but it doesn’t have to dictate our lives. Trish has spent over 15 years studying with world class teachers\, practicing mindfulness and learning about the science of well-being. As a speaker and mindfulness teacher\, Trish has taught the skills to become UNSHAKABLE and THRIVE amidst change and challenge to over 15\,000 people across North America. She is passionate about helping folks become more resilient and less stressed with simple but impactful mindfulness techniques. \nShe’s a teacher on the #1 free meditation app in the world\, Insight Timer\, and the author of Mindful Mornings. \nTurn Down the Stress in Your Mind\nBeing a speaker and entrepreneur (as many of us are) is not for the faint of heart. If you’ve ever gotten stuck in your head ruminating about a scowling audience member\, a talk that went goodish-bad or sweating through the shirt you haven’t even picked out for your next sales call\, you’ve noticed how your mindset can affect every area of your business. Your mindset is like the soil beneath the crop of your business. The quality of your mindset determines what flourishes and what withers. In our September meeting Trish will share a simple but powerful technique to create a mindset to thrive through your next big sales call\, audience feedback form or slow season (economic downturn anyone?) This one simple technique is scientifically proven to turn down the dial of stress in your mind\, prevent spiralling thoughts at 11:42pm and put you in a more hopeful and optimistic frame of mind as you continue to grow your business and share your genius with people who need your wisdom. \n\n\n\n\n\nSarita Parmar\nSarita Parmar is a speaker\, facilitator\, and business advisor who works with business owners and professionals to prevent burnout and create sustainable success. \nWith over two decades of business experience\, and a deeply personal journey through cultural expectations\, loss\, divorce\, and a breast cancer diagnosis\, Sarita brings both practical strategy and heartfelt storytelling to her work. \nHer core message is simple: self-care isn’t a pause in your ambition – it’s the fuel for it. \nPacing Yourself\nIn her talk on Pacing Yourself\, Sarita Parmar will explore how professionals can sustain their energy\, focus\, and well-being while continuing to show up with purpose and impact. \nRather than pushing through until burnout\, Sarita invites participants to rethink success through the lens of energy management\, intentional boundaries\, and self-leadership. \nKey takeaways: \n\nPacing is not slowing down\, it’s creating sustainability.\nParticipants will learn why managing energy is just as important as managing time.\nBoundaries protect your capacity.\nSarita will share how small\, intentional boundaries can help prevent resentment\, overwhelm\, and burnout.\nSelf-care fuels performance.\nParticipants will walk away with a reminder that rest\, recovery\, and personal wellness are not rewards after the work is done\, rather a part of doing the work well. \n\nNathalie Plamandon-Thomas\, CSP\nCertified Speaking Professional CSP®\, Recipient of the Top Executive Coach award in 2025\, Most Empowering Confidence Coach in North America in 2023\, the Peter Legge Philanthropic Award in 2024 and Canadian Presenter of the Year in 2021\, Nathalie Plamondon-Thomas is a Confidence Expert. She is the author of 18 books\, including 12 no.1 bestsellers and a book co-written with Kevin Harrington from the Shark Tank\, endorsed by Tony Robbins. She is the Founder and CEO of the THINK Yourself® ACADEMY\, offering keynotes and trainings\, leading-edge online courses\, laser-focus business strategy and one-on-one transformation coaching. \nAlong the past two decades\, she has inspired over 100\,000 audience members and empowered thousands of clients internationally to get rid of their negative self-talk. She combines over 10 years of experience in human resources\, 25 years of experience in sales and over 35 years of distinguished service in the fitness industry. She is 2026 National President of CAPS. \n\nSELLING! THINK Yourself® A SALES PRO\nMost speakers’ dream is to simply show up on the platform without having to do the sales pitch. Wouldn’t that be nice? You’ve got the “speaking” part down\, but sometimes you’d rather drill holes in your feet than have to “sell” your services. \nYour message matters. You can truly change the world. But securing paid speaking engagements is what really makes you a professional speaker. \nDiscover the sales strategies\, pipeline techniques\, CRM funnels\, follow-up systems\, and mindset shifts Nathalie used to elevate her speaking business into the High-Income Earners Group. You will also discover the five types of imposter syndrome voices – and learn how to transform them – along with brain science insights on how to read your client’s mind and confidently close the sale. \nGet ready to fill your calendar and propel your speaking business.\n\nFollowed by an Afternoon Session…\n \n  \n\n\n\n1:00 pm – 3:00 pm MDT |\n\nIf button doesn’t open automatically please email : tammy@ksabusiness.ca with the subject “Register for Special Session with Nathalie”. \nA HUGE thank you to Dune Nguyen agreeing to stay on we are now able to offer this session virtually. Anyone that registers can attend in-person or virtually and receive the recording.\n\n\n\nBUILD YOUR SALES ENGINE: From Audience to Opportunity \n2-Hour Hands-On Workshop \nWhat if you left this workshop with two complete sales funnels\, written\, customized and ready to generate speaking opportunities? \nIn this hands-on session\, Nathalie Plamondon-Thomas\, CSP\, will share the sales pipeline and follow-up system she used to propel her speaking business into the CAPS High-Income Earners Group. \nYou won’t just learn it. You’ll build it. \nYou’ll create two step-by-step funnels: \nPROSPECT TO CLIENT: A strategic follow-up sequence to stay connected\, add value and remain top-of-mind with prospective clients. \nAUDIENCE TO OPPORTUNITY: A follow-up sequence to turn key audience members from previous engagements into potential speaking clients. \nYou’ll write the actual messages and scripts for each stage so you leave knowing what to send\, when to send it and what comes next. \nBring your laptop. Leave with a system you can immediately put to work filling your pipeline and your speaking calendar.
