Strategic Volunteering: How to Network and Expand your Brand while Doing Good with Lynn Fergusson Principal of 2H2M Services

As Canadians we tend to believe that giving is good, that we should donate our time to what we consider important issues and charitable/non-profit organizations. And, we tend to believe that volunteerism is a defining activity for the companies and organizations that support it.  But how do we know which is the best charity, organization or issue to give our time to?  How do we know, as a business owners and company employees, that the time we give is supporting what we truly believe is important to us and our company?  What impact will volunteering have on our personal brand, our network, and our career? What are the career benefits of donating time?  Is it possible to mix philanthropy and strategy while maintaining the noble aim of giving without the expectation of reward?  Join Alan Kearns as he interviews Lynn Fergusson, Principal and Founder of  2H2M Services as they discuss strategic volunteering as one way to do good while expanding your network, exploring your brand, and expanding you career.
