The hallmarks of strong leadership are innovative ideas, well-planned initiatives, and community engagement. Our role at Amplify is to support our clients in effectively sharing their messages to facilitate connections within their communities and industries, ensuring all those impacted are well-informed about the successes, challenges, and results of their projects.

An effective way to share is through speaking opportunities that open doors for potential partnerships and collaboration.

Percy Guichon, Chief Executive Officer of Central Chilcotin Rehabilitation Ltd. (CCR) and an elected Councillor of the Tŝideldel First Nation in British Columbia, is one such leader who, in 2025, spoke about Indigenous-led initiatives, including strategies for economic and environmental resilience, the role of Indigenous leadership in forestry and forest rehabilitation, and opportunities for economic growth through fibre optimization.

According to Percy, “Powerful partnerships are forged when leaders step onto conference stages – not just to speak but to connect.”

Lending his voice at Forests Canada, the Indigenous Forestry Conference, the Forest Nursery Association of BC conference, and the Keeping It Rural Conference, among others, was a decisive pathway to engagement.

“By sharing the successes and challenges in working towards a shared vision, it sparks meaningful conversations and opens doors to collaboration and opportunities to involve others in assisting with achieving the vision,” he elaborated.

Conferences and other speaking engagements can provide opportunities to build trust, gain insights into unique perspectives, and enhance visibility while fortifying relationships. Networking with peers is essential for growth and for demonstrating thought leadership.

At Amplify, our team is continuously inspired by our clients and eager to support their future keynote speaking prospects. When leaders take the stage, they shift from being passive participants to industry insiders, offering insights that shape their fields and strengthen ties.
