• Vince Fowler | TEDx Speaker at Vince Fowler

  January 2017 - Present | Calgary, AB

  How to live life on your terms - a framework for mastery What being a military commando, rugby coach, business coach, and an ADHD dad taught me about living life on your own terms. Framework For Mastery is an 8-step methodology that will bring clarity in purpose, the confidence to execute, measurable success and most importantly, progress to your work and life. I am a proud military veteran with operational experience in war-torn Somalia, a championship rugby athlete and coach, and a 20-year background in business. Naturally, this makes for a very unique Executive and Business Coach.

  The Measurable Difference was created to meet a massive need in the Calgary business community. Have you ever been to an event - regardless if it was free or not and felt like it was the biggest waist of time? This isn't it. Have you ever been to an event where the speakers shared fantastic knowledge but it came with a huge and unexpected SELL factor at the end? This isn't it either. The Measurable Difference we created to be the exact opposite - delivered by local industry authorities who will share sound business knowledge WITHOUT expectation - they will engaged, quip and empower... all you have to do is execute on their wisdom... and I believe you'll get a positive and measurable result. The events happen in the months of January, March, May, July, September, November - typically on the third Friday of the respective month. Twitter: @TMDyyc #TMDyyc #TMD
