Building Relationships Through Effective Communication Only 7% of our method of communication is based on the words we speak, yet it is amazing how much credence we put on the spoken word. With trust, a questionable value in the workplace today, it is more important than ever before that we build and instill trust with our colleagues and superiors. This session will introduce you to words and phrases that we hear and use every day that can make or break deals and hearts depending on the tone and body language that accompanies them. You will be surprised at how the most basic and routine method of speaking and communicating can be sending terribly negative implications. Find out how to become the positive, articulate communicator that will win friends and influence colleagues.

Individual Pension Plan (IPP) Most people are familiar with RRSPs, which are defined contribution plans. Contribution limits to RRSPs are set by Ottawa (currently 18% of prior year’s earnings to a maximum of $21,000 for 2009). However, what is not determined is the annual income you may receive from an RRSP on retirement. An IPP is a defined benefit pension plan. It sets your monthly income at retirement. An IPP permits the accumulation of greater assets, up to 60% more than an RRSP.
