Jessica Mulroney, Jillian Harris and Sangita Patel team up for The Atelier conference

1/13

June 28, 2019

Two of Canada’s most successful and inspiring entrepreneurs were in Toronto for an incredible day all about women in business earlier this month.

Jessica Mulroney and Jillian Harris were joined by host Sangita Patel and a host of other incredibly successful businesswomen at The Atelier conference.

This was the event's second year. It is run by The Atelier Collective, which was started by Angela Osborne and Taryn Herritt. The two, who have been friends for years, decided to start a business conference that was not only inspirational to them and others, but that left participants feeling energized thanks to experiential content.

Jessica, who has styled many people including <strong><a href="/tags/0/sophie-gregoire-trudeau">Sophie Grégoire-Trudeau</strong></a>, had lots of wisdom to impart to the crowd! She told Sangita how much she enjoys working with brides, how passionate she is about her work with <i>CityLine</i> and <I>Good Morning America</i>, and her best strategies for managing stress. She said she loves to exercise to banish her anxiety!
<P>Her key takeaway was that every single person is just figuring things out as they go.
<p>“Nobody has their stuff together, and if they say they do, they are lying!” she told the audience.

Jessica, who has styled many people including Sophie Grégoire-Trudeau, had lots of wisdom to impart to the crowd! She told Sangita how much she enjoys working with brides, how passionate she is about her work with CityLine and Good Morning America, and her best strategies for managing stress. She said she loves to exercise to banish her anxiety!

Her key takeaway was that every single person is just figuring things out as they go.

“Nobody has their stuff together, and if they say they do, they are lying!” she told the audience.

Jessica and Sangita also took some time during the day to hang out and enjoy each other's friendship.

Jillian's keynote centred on the idea of the "evolution of failure" and how downs - along with ups - help us learn and grow throughout our careers.

The Canadian TV personality and interior designer, who partnered with Saje Wellness last year, was joined by some of her team members, who spoke about working with her. Jillian also pointed out that success is a joint effort. She praised those who were with her on stage, including Tyler Evans, Shay Merritt and Mindy Crawford, saying they are key to why she's achieved so much in her career.

Jillian's main message for the audience was it's important to take risks, make mistakes and learn from them as we grow in our careers.

In addition to energy breaks held throughout the day, participants were also able to take advantage of a special happy hour, coffee bar, headshot studio, pop-up vineyard and beauty boutique. It looked like a really wonderful, enriching day!
