Events are cancelled, Jennifer needs to pivot Staff Shop

Jennifer Menard’s life has been about reinvention, regardless of her circumstance. She openly shares her life story growing up in a broken home but perseveres to become a successful entrepreneur. She found her path through a mentor who employed her and then subsequently encouraged her to buy the business she helped build. She rebrands, brings in a partner and Staff Shop is now staffing events across North America and even the Caribbean. Her business is guided by purpose and all is promising until COVID-19 cancels every event. Listen to how Jennifer responds by pivoting her business, earning the admiration and advice from Stephen Shaw who has produced for the Rolling Stones and Oprah Winfrey; Joe Jackman who has helped some of the worlds largest brands pivot and Kiruba Sankar, Global Leader, Global Procurement - Corporate Social Responsibility, RBC. Small Business Matters series, presented by RBC.

A troubled start (01:04) Jennifer shares her story growing up in a troubled home. The chaos and trauma impacted her personally but by surrounding herself with the right people and the right resources, she managed to survive. Leaving home in northern Ontario at 18, Jennifer moves to Toronto, lands a job at MLSE and begins to rebuild her life.

From strength to strength (03:51) Two years later Jennifer connects with Geoff Bagg and joins his company, The Bagg Group. Her path to entrepreneurship and success begins when Jennifer is given an opportunity to start a hospitality and event division at The Bagg Group, eventually buying the division to start Staff Shop. She builds a successful business, staffing events across North America.

Making the pivot (07:45) Then COD-19 hits but Jennifer is not deterred. Although events are shut down, cutting off the lid blood of her business, she rapidly pivots to focus on staffing for essential services. Considering the future of Staff Shop, Jennifer has some fundamental questions she needs answered: how much does she pivot, how far, how fast and for how long?

The experts weigh in (12:20) Joe Jackman: “Be really good at not only selling your proposition but executing it and getting credit for what makes you different.” In order to grow her business, Stephen Shaw advises Jennifer to pinpoint growth industries and land a key client. Kiruba Sankar from RBC acknowledges Jennifer's certifications allows her access to opportunities, but those with the best method win

Tony’s closing thoughts (25:51) Tony believes clients will indeed pay a premium for Jennifers offer of full-time versus contract staff. Competing on price is a race to zero but competing with a premium offer is where you'll find a higher purpose, better employees and better clients.

Harry Potter Author J.K. Rowling’s Political Fairytale Book Penned and Published by Author Loic Cabrel as Terrie, The Sorcerer

Loic Cabrel, the Author, is a family and friend of Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling, with whose permission he has penned and published her prior purported political fairytale as a new and novel fantasy book: Terrie, The Sorcerer, and first book of a fantasy series: Terrie of Terrestria series – a sort of sequel and sort of spin-off to the Harry Potter series. The Terrie of Terrestria series is part itself of a super fantasy series: the Sorceria or Sorcering State series – a sort of sequel and sort of spin-off to the Harry Potter series, and also of a sort of shared universe and shared world with Harry Potter.

The Terrie of Terrestria series is a series whose story takes place in the Terrestria section which is the terrestrial section of Sorceria the sorcering world, and also a greenish Earth section situated cardinally in Sorceria’s North-and-Up, and in which sorcerers and sorceresses walk with legs on its grounds or groundlands, and its central character called Terrie. Terrie, The Sorcerer is the first book of this Terrie of Terrestria series.

“The series’ story features original and never seen spotless spells (in strong-and-sharp sounds of spells’ sparks-and-sparkles) and sorceries (in soft-and-slight sounds of sorceries’ shines-and-shimmers) and shamanisms (in scream-and-screech sounds of shamanisms’ sleeks-and-sheens), spelled by saint-aka-sacred vs. satanic-aka-sacrilegious sorcerers and sorceresses, with staffs for senior sorcerers + sticks for small sorcerers + staves for superior sorcerers + sceptres for sovereign sorcerers, and in a sorcering world named Sorceria or the Sorcering State, and in a sorcery school named Scholaria School of Sorcery and Sorcerycraft, in this new Sorceria or Sorcering State series”; different and dissimilar from the past and previous wizardry and witchcraft, weaved by good and evil wizards and witches, with wands, in the wizarding and witchcraft world, and in the wizarding and witchcraft school of Hogwarts in the Harry Potter series.

“The series’ story features also the sorcerers and sorceresses in this Sorceria series who also sport/play as sport-teams and sporters/players in the three sorcering sports/Sorcero-Sports of Sorcero-Shot (which is a score-in sports in which shots are to be scored inside of score-posts), Sorcero-Shoot (which is a score-out sports in which shoots are to be scored outside of score-posts) and Sorcero-Soccer (which is a score-in and score-out sports in which shots and shoots as soccers are to be scored inside and outside of score-posts)”; different and dissimilar from the past and previous Quidditch sport played at Hogwarts and other schools of magic, and professionally by adult magicians in the Harry Potter series.

The eBook is available to be shopped at book distributor Smashwords at its Smashwords Store primarily, (as Loic Cabrel as an author says he prefers the Smashwords Store as it is increasingly an ebook retail store where he as an ebook reader and many ebook readers prefer to shop there because it has an advantage that ebook readers pay one purchase price and gain access to an ebook in multiple ebook formats readable on any e-reading device, — which is what is not offered in many e-book retail stores such as Amazon who sell in their Kindle Books in its MOBI format, or Apple iPhone and iPad who sell in their ibooks in its EPUB format; — also an additional advantage many other authors as he similarly see it so to their readers on their books at the Smashwords store).

The Book is also available at book retailers (through the Smashwords distribution network) such as Amazon, Apple Books, Barnes & Noble, Scribd, and Kobo (including Kobo Plus), 24Symbols, Baker & Taylor, Hoopla etc.; and through the industry-leading library distribution (still through Smashwords) at OverDrive, Baker & Taylor Axis 360, Tolino, Gardners, Bibliotheca CloudLibrary, Odilo and Califa's Enki etc.

Subsequently shall the book be published through traditional publishing in print publishing, as Loic Cabrel opted first for eBook publishing. Reviews for the book are awaited as such.

Loic Cabrel calls it a 2020 gift by him to all fans of the Harry Potter Fandom.

For the time being, shop for the book and savour its super and superb story.

As for the fairy tale revelations, they were made by J. K. Rowling during a CNN interview on Monday (10th July). When interviewer Christiane Amanpour asked her about a rumoured political book for young people, Rowling said: “Oh, that was a fairy tale ... it wasn’t political in a party political sense…and I don’t know if I’ll ever publish that but I will tell you this. “The theme of my 50th birthday, which I held at Halloween, even though that's not really my birthday, was come as your own private nightmare. And I went as a lost manuscript. And I wrote over a dress most of that book.” The Edinburgh-based author added: “So that book, I don't know whether it will ever be published, but it's actually hanging in a wardrobe currently.” The Harry Potter author as such said the story may never be published and is instead hanging up in her wardrobe. She arranged the party, at Halloween in 2015, to be themed around “your own private nightmare” and attended as a “lost manuscript”.

However J. K. Rowling retrieved and retracted back the script and story, and handled it and its authorship to the aspiring author and her second cousin, Loic Cabrel after he had taken total interest in it, and after he had read the script and story, he then revived and restored it, toughly and thoroughly touched it, rigorously retouched, reshaped, revised and reworked and rewrote and retold the story, and J.K Rowling admiring and awestruck by this, accepted and acknowledged and approved of it, and gave him the go-ahead and green-light to put it to publishing, after giving and granting him the single and sole rights to it. So he subsequently saw it to publishing at publisher Smashwords at its Smashwords Store primarily, and sent it to digital eBook retailers through distributor Smashwords still, as he saw it not to publish through traditional publishing first, and opted instead for eBook publishing firstly, as print publishing shall sooner be seen to it.

The novel in an epic scale and size of at around 125 000 words and around 255 pages, and priced at $9.99 is said to be already selling close to a million copies in its eBook sales at the Smashwords Store, and receiving acclaim from fellow fantasy writers and critics.
