Managing a team isn’t always straightforward—and the best lessons often come from real experience.
While this conversation draws from Diana Stirling’s experience leading large teams of youth, the insights shared are highly applicable across all levels of business, team development, and hiring.
Join us for April’s Biz & Bites as guest speaker Diana Stirling shares insights from leading Penticton’s largest employer of youth across four local businesses. Through a candid and engaging Q&A-style conversation, Diana will dive into what’s worked, what hasn’t, and what she’s learned along the way—both the hard way and the fun way.
Ticket Includes: Networking | Lunch | Professional Development
Penticton Chamber Members $35 | Future Members $45
Together, we’ll explore:
How to attract and hire great people in a competitive, seasonal market
Creative approaches to fast and effective hiring (including a nine-minute hiring process)
What it really takes to lead and motivate Gen Z teams
Building a culture where employees step into responsibility and leadership
Lessons learned from operating multiple businesses within one community
With a team of over 150 staff—primarily high school students—Diana brings a unique and practical perspective on leadership, communication, and team culture.
Whether you're hiring, managing, or growing your team, this session will offer honest insights, practical ideas, and a few stories you’ll likely relate to.
