The Life Champion In You

Presented By:

Clint Cora, DTM

 

 

 

 

 


Professional Speaker

Why are some people successful and others not?  And, why do some people have success after success even in areas were they were not originally an expert?  Are you chasing Success?

Find out what successful people have in common and how you can master success from a master himself - Clint Cora. 

In his talk, Clint will cover many successful principals from his book "The Life Champion In You".  Here are some highlights of what Clint will cover:

As a bonus for our group, he will also cover some elements of skills and techniques that he uses for his presentations.

After graduating with a MBA degree, Clint worked in the high technology field for several years before switching over to the pharmaceutical industry.  After a twenty year corporate career, Clint became an author and wrote a book called "How To Get A Dream Job In Pharmaceutical Sales - Direct Inside Advice and Guidance From a Sales Manager" to help others start a pharmaceutical sales career.  He also reviewed his life experiences including both successes and adversities he faced for the important lessons learned.  The result was another book, "The Life Champion In You".  

Being a self-professed ultimate geek as a child, Clint Cora was not born a natural athlete.  However, this didn't stop him from eventually having countless successes in martial arts competitions including winning Canadian national and world championships.  Clint is also a proud member of the Canadian National Karate Team.

In addition to martial arts, Clint is a certified fitness instructor and a CSIA certified ski instructor who taught with the world famous Snow Eagles Ski School in Quebec.  He is also a NAUI Master Diver certified scuba diver who has dived all over the world including the Caribbean, Mediterranean and the Red Sea.

Clint Cora practises what he preaches as an inspirational speaker since he utilizes the same success strategies to take on challenges from a variety of fields. Audiences learn these same methods of achieving success as those that Clint uses on a regular basis.   

Before Clint Cora became a professional speaker, he achieved DTM, the highest award at Toastmasters International.

OTHER GREAT EVENTS

Cloud Computing an IT Paradigm Shift: Feburary 11, 2009

AIC members receive a 10% discount to the Cloud Computing conference.

Cloud computing is Internet ('cloud') based development and use of computer technology ('computing'). The cloud is a metaphor for the Internet (based on
how it is depicted in computer network diagrams) and is an abstraction for the complex infrastructure it conceals.
Cloud Computing means that one day you will be able to use the internet to run programs such as word editors and spreadsheet applications.

The Society of Internet Professionals (SIP)

SIP Benefit now available to AIC Members

The Society of Internet Professionals (SIP) is pleased to announce that some of our affinity programs are available to AIC Members:

Your Profile Website

Marketing and promotion starts with you, more specifically with your name. Having your own URL is a great way to get your name out there and to start promoting yourself.

If you google your own name and it is not listed on the first page in the search engine results, then you may want to consider having your own URL. It represents permanence, professionalism and a brand. The added benefit is that it is independent of your ISP, which you may change at some point.

SIP has put together a program for non-web designers to create a website with an email under their domain name.
