Today I attended "Think Fast" The Tourism Victoria Annual Sales & Marketing Showcase. Rob Gialloreto, Tourism Victoria President & CEO, guiding the membership through a brief review of 2010 and brings forward emerging trends that will impact how we sell and market our destination. Following, Peter Legge, motivational speaker extraordinaire, ignited the room with energy as the Guest Speaker. Peter is one of the top speakers in North America and is in the Speakers Hall of Fame, and was an ambassador to the 2010 Winter Olympics. Peter is an inspiration to anyone who meets him. Peter lives his life dream as an internationally acclaimed professional speaker, a bestselling author, and as Chairman & CEO of the largest, independently owned magazine publishing company in Western Canada - Canada Wide Media Limited.

Peter urged the audience to live their dream, use the runway of their life to the full, and maintain their integrety. He urged people to find mentors and provided examples from the mentors in his life. His presentation was definitedly food for thought and inspriational.

The presentation was followed by a cocktail hour and opportunity for smoozing.

The future of Tourism Victoria is in good hands.
