As we look ahead to the new year, a new generation of leaders are on the horizon, eager to reshape the corporate paradigm and reimagine what the future holds. <\/span><\/h2><\/div>

To attract, retain, motivate and inspire these top performers, incentive travel must go far beyond business as usual\u2014and offer the transformative solutions this new generation seeks. <\/p><\/div>

Across Canada, visionary thought leaders are reimagining incentive travel to offer unique rewards and deeply inspiring experiences your high achievers can\u2019t find anywhere else. <\/p><\/div>

One such leader is Lori McCarthy<\/strong>, chef, outdoorswoman, cultural storyteller and TED speaker, hailing from the province of Newfoundland and Labrador on Canada\u2019s eastern coast. <\/p><\/div>

As founder of Food Culture Place, Lori offers unique cultural food residencies in Mobile, an untouched gem on the Avalon Peninsula,<\/strong> home to small communities and minke whale. <\/p><\/div>

At Lori\u2019s workshop\u2014between a seabird sanctuary and wilderness reserve\u2014and out on rugged island terrain, your high performers will enjoy culinary activities tailored to their own interests. <\/p><\/div>

From seashore foraging, game butchery and wild game cookery to visiting other local chefs, hunters, fishers and elders, your team will be immersed in the island\u2019s traditional food culture. <\/p><\/div>

But there\u2019s more to these experiences than meets the eye.  <\/p><\/div>

Lori is fiercely committed to keeping the foods of Newfoundland<\/strong> on plates for generations to come\u2014and passing on the pride to those who will inherit the island’s bounty. <\/p><\/div>

In doing so, she is reimagining business events and incentive experiences as an enriching, living practice that leaves a lasting mark on participants and organizers alike. <\/p><\/div>

Lori shared these insights at Destination Canada\u2019s Walk \u2018N Talk session at PCMA Convening Leaders, explaining that it\u2019s all about taking care of the past, present and future. <\/p><\/div>

\u201cThriving means growing, innovating and inspiring. Thriving means aligning every action\u2014big or small\u2014with values that create real impact,<\/em>\u201d she said. <\/p><\/div>

\u201cIn order to thrive we have to take care\u2026to think not just about the present moment, but about the future\u2014about balance, sustainability and taking care.\u201d <\/em><\/p><\/div>

In rethinking incentive travel and business events, Lori dives deep into what can motivate participants. <\/p><\/div>

\u201cIf we can create a sense of belonging\u2014a feeling that connects people to a place, a moment or a community\u2014then we can inspire them to care. And when people care, they take action.\u201d <\/em><\/p><\/div>

This sense of belonging is what makes Lori\u2019s incentive experiences so powerful, driving top performers on a deeper level. <\/p><\/div>

\u201cThese experiences, where people stand shoulder to shoulder with community members in their kitchens and fishing shacks\u2014getting their hands dirty and truly engaging\u2014are about so much more than showcasing skills or traditions,<\/em>\u201d she said.  <\/p><\/div>

\u201cWhen people feel truly connected to a place, they carry it with them long after they leave.\u201d <\/em><\/p><\/div>

As Lori sees it, this creates an extraordinary opportunity for incentive travel organizers and the high achievers participating in these experiences. <\/p><\/div>

\u201cThis is our moment to rise, to create events that resonate far beyond their timelines, and to leave behind something meaningful, something lasting.\u201d <\/em><\/p><\/div>

With visionary thought leaders reimagining incentive travel across the country, Canada is a unique resource of unconventional inspiration\u2014the perfect place for your top performers to find the transformative ideas they need to lead boldly into the future.  <\/h2><\/div>
