Rebecca Doll - at work, at home, at play: learning things the hard way!
http://www.rebeccadoll.wordpress.com
Rebecca is Founder and Head Coach of Bestseller Bootcamp located within the Centre for Social Innovation in Toronto. She lives downtown Hamilton and is active with the South Stipeley Neighbourhood Association and the South Sherman Hub. As a result of this recent immersion into a vibrant residential neighbourhood, a thriving professional community and her daily trek around the golden horseshoe, Rebecca is exploring new ideas like cooperation and collaboration. Rebecca has a lot of first-hand experience being herself but is new to the whole community thing. Unless you count family.
This blog is dedicated to all the hard-working community-builders; though you be unsung, your music will resonate for generations.
