“Lessons from the Den- Tips for Pitching Your Business Ideas and Getting Stakeholders to Buy In”

From oilfield roughneck and RCMP officer to international businessman and renowned investor, Jim Treliving has come a long way from his roots in small town Manitoba. Jim credits his much of his success with being able to read people and make decisions quickly. Each week on the hit CBC television show “Dragon’s Den”, he puts those skills to work as budding Canadian entrepreneurs walk into the Den and try to convince Jim and his fellow Dragons to invest their hard earned cash in a variety of business ideas and new product innovations. In “Lessons from the Den”, Jim talks about the hardest pitches that he has had to make during his own career in business while using examples from Dragon’s Den pitches to highlight the do’s and don’ts of gaining stakeholder buy in.

Have lunch with Jim Treliving and The Canadian Club of London on Tuesday, September 17 for a fantastic opportunity to hear the best advice in making wiser decisions in business and life!
