Defence Construction Canada manages billions of dollars in projects. As such a large client, even small changes make big ripples - I’m so proud to be part of this team of construction industry experts. —— DCC, in partnership with the Assistant Deputy Minister (Infrastructure and Environment), has taken important steps to ensure more Indigenous businesses can participate in the real property lifecycle contracts DCC manages for the Department of National Defence. In particular, DCC staff listened closely to hundreds of owners and operators of Indigenous businesses to learn about their operations and help them navigate contracting challenges. In the wake of this foundational work, Indigenous businesses won almost 10% of all DCC contracts in 2022–23—that’s double the minimum target set by the federal government. #indigenousbusinessplans #Indigenousprocurementstrategies #teamwork #economicreconciliation #realpeoplerealresults

Warsaw. Negotiation. Round. In my opinion, this is one of the two best pure-negotiation competitions that are available to students from Europe. Warsaw Negotiation Round. I took part several times, getting better results every time. It never fails to introduce new formats, pose difficulet problems and introduce attractive story lines and environments. 🧐 Negotiating as a commander of 18th century infantry, aligning with cavalry and artillery? Sure! ✨ Negotiating a deal about colony establishment on Mars? Yes! (we picked the space-background of zoom for this one :)) 😈 We also negotiated with the devil's representative and with Greek philosophers at the same time ... a case about changing how the hell itself operates. Great memories. Learned a lot. Now I want to support others. 🤗 WANT TO SUPPORT CZECH STUDENTS? 😉 If you are interested about how to take part or how to support students taking part, send me a DM. #negotiationskills #education #supportive #negotiationtraining

Tomorrow marks the beginning of the annual European flagship Private Debt conference in London. The agenda promises an engaging and insightful event, to say the least. I'm thrilled to once again contribute by moderating a debate on the topic of “who’s issuing better credit?”, and are co-leading the IC Panel  alongside #GabriellaKindert. During the debate, we'll delve into the perspectives of various GPs across the middle market spectrum (#Dunport, #FederatedHermes, #Ares). It's sure to be an intriguing exchange of arguments across the aisle where LPs can gain a deeper understanding of the nuances behind each dedicated strategy, as none of the panelists adhere to a cookie-cutter approach to direct lending. The IC Panel will feature three real-life case studies presented by GPs (#NorthwallCapital, #ZenzicCapital, #FruxCapital), sparking discussions on whether the loans should be issued, or if the deal should be rejected outright. Having hosted this panel with Gabriella for many years, I anticipate a lively discussion that offers LPs valuable insights into how loans are evaluated within a GP's framework. Overall, I'm excited to reconnect with familiar faces as the event feels like a "class reunion" with so many long-standing participants. #PrivateDebtInvestor, #PDI, #PrivateDebt, #PDIEurope, #PrivateCredit, #SigloCapitalAdvisors
