Dr. Jessica O’Reilly is a board-certified sexologist committed to helping clients enjoy healthy, pleasurable sex lives. She has completed her PhD in human sexuality with a focus on training teachers to deliver effective sex education and splits her time between public speaking engagements, freelance writing, program development, and consulting in the field of sexual health.

She loves her job (obviously!) and works with private, public sector and corporate clients to promote the sex-positive perspective. Her work takes her on the road from the sunny shores of Mexico to the cold Boreal forest of beautiful Fort McMurray and she relishes every moment.

Jessica is also passionate about social justice issues and a proud supporter of Stepstones For Youth, a Toronto-based charitable organization that provides programming and social supports for at-risk youth and their families. She encourages young professionals and entrepreneurs to join her in the campaign to provide mentorship, community supports, and recreational activities for children in need.

When she is not talking or writing about sex, Jessica loves to cook, eat, drink wine, glamp, and play ultimate frisbee. You can check out her work at www.jessicaoreilly.com.

How Volunteering Can Help Young Professionals’ Careers

Why Should Young Professionals Volunteer?

Don R. Campbell is a Canadian-based real estate investor, researcher, author and educator.  He is president of the Real Estate Investment Network (REIN) and Cutting Edge Research Inc. He and his experienced team are leaders in providing Canada’s most current real estate investment education programs and economic research materials.

Don is the author of the best-selling Canadian real estate book Real Estate Investing in Canada. Published in May 2005, with over 41,000 copies sold, it is the all-time best-selling real estate book in Canadian history.  Real Estate Investing in Canada 2.0 was released in 2009 with an update on current market conditions and includes a section on property management to help investors better manage their portfolios.  Don’s second book, 97 Tips for Canadian Real Estate Investors was released in 2006 and became a #1 best-seller with over 20,000 copies sold.  His third book, titled 51 Success Stories of Canadian Real Estate Investors, was released in December 2007 and chronicles real estate investors’ stories and follows with detailed analyses of their journeys so that all investors can mirror the successes and avoid the pitfalls.  81 Financial and Tax Tips for the Canadian Real Estate Investor, released in February 2010, is a practical, compact, and easy-to-understand guide to accounting and tax-saving strategies.

Don’s entertaining and informative presentations have been attended by thousands of real estate investors across North America, Australia and Ireland. He can speak in detail on any market in the country and is not afraid to tell the truth about where the market is headed.  His research and systems have been developed and refined yearly for the last 18 years and are based solely on proven Canadian strategies that work in today’s market environment.

Today, REIN has more than 3,000 members who range in age from 16 to 70; many have been members for more than 100 months. REIN does not sell properties, but instead provides education and unbiased economic research and analysis.

Most likely to be seen:

On stage or in the media across the country sharing our latest research on the Canadian Real Estate Market. Exploring the world, discovering new and exciting travel experience. If not these two places, on my farm with family, friends raising organic meat and veg and enjoying amazing meals.

What’s Notable?

Especially notable right now is the trend towards young professionals taking control of their own finances, not relying upon one single advisor (or their parent’s beliefs). This is a great sign as I started taking control when I was 23 and haven’t looked back since. Never buy your investments from the person who profits from the investment’s sale. Pay for unbiased research and advice, then go make your choices elsewhere – that way you know there is no conflict.

Director of Digital Engagement, Weber Shandwick Canada.

I was born in a small town called St. Thomas and moved to Toronto back in the 90s to attend Ryerson and to take over the world of television. Then television died and I jumped on the internet bandwagon and haven’t looked back.

A digital strategist and communications professional by day, and a relentless and random socialite by night, I’m always looking for the next cool thing, both in the digital world and the “real” world – whatever that is.  I’ve been told that I possess the energy and at times the maturity of a small child.  I think that’s a good thing as I’m always up for an opportunity to learn and explore something new.  I hope to bring that very spirit to Notable.

Most likely to be seen:

At Toronto tech community events, out and about in the west end, playing a sport, hitting a patio (weather permitting) or anywhere from a concert or comedy night to a little hole in the wall restaurant to a Raptors or TFC game, and at Notable parties, of course. I’m all over the place!

What’s notable?

Something that changes the game – by this I mean something that gets people talking about the potential of what could come as a
result of it.  This could be something that changes the world or just puts a smile on your face.
