The Importance of Innovation for Ontrepenters

There’s nothing quite like entrepreneurship, and it takes grit, courage, and most importantly hope – the rest are lessons Catherine Clark is happy to share!

Named one of Ottawa’s Forty Under 40 by the Ottawa Chamber of Commerce, Catherine Clark is a nationally respected broadcaster, emcee and the President of Catherine Clark Communications, providing strategic communications and public affairs advice to individuals, institutions and corporations. 

Through her work in television, radio and print, Catherine has interviewed Canada’s most influential people, and is co-founder of The Honest Talk, a new, multi-platform podcast and event experience targeted at a dynamic, professional audience of women who are looking for more – out of themselves, out of their businesses and elected leaders, and out of the world around them.

She has hosted and co-produced two historical documentaries, The Residences and Inside Centre Block, is the Giving Back columnist for Ottawa at Home Magazine and writes for the Montreal-based IEFA Magazine.

“You don’t start up a business without a lot of hope and belief in yourself. It’s a tough time for entrepreneurs, and I want them to keep faith in themselves.” 

In this week’s episode of the #StartupCanadaPodcast, sponsored by Mastercard and Ceridian, Catherine discusses starting your entrepreneurial journey, and staying true to your hope and belief in yourself.
