VANCOUVER, BC, June 30, 2021 /PRNewswire/ - Thinkific Labs
Inc. ("Thinkific" or the "Company") (TSX: THNC) , a leading
platform for creating, marketing, and selling online courses, today
announced the launch of the third annual Think in Color Summit.
Thinkific's annual speaker and workshop series is aimed at
driving forward diversity and inclusion in business and
entrepreneurship by featuring traditionally underrepresented
entrepreneurs and giving them a platform to share their expertise.
This year's event features a lineup of notable female entrepreneurs
who will provide tips and strategies on how to build and scale a
business using digital products and online courses.
"I remember going full-time in my online business and being
excited about the journey ahead. But the people in the online
business space at that time didn't look like me at all," says XayLi
Barclay, online course creator and Think in Color host. "I needed
to see people who represented my experience and struggles, and
learn how to break through barriers to become successful. With
Think in Color, we're excited to bring together a group of
remarkable entrepreneurs who are people of color to share how they
built their businesses with skill and courage, challenged their
fears, and overcame real obstacles on the way to creating their own
success stories."
2021 marks the third year in a row
for Thinkific's Think in Color Summit. The event reflects
Thinkific's ongoing commitment to empowering people of color with
the tools and knowledge they need to succeed. Following the Summit,
a curated 5-week Think in Color Accelerator coaching program will
be available to help attendees immediately apply their learnings
and create their first online course.
"I learned so much at Think in Color," says Herty Zon, a 2020 Summit attendee. "Like the
importance of having a strong personal brand, how to own my voice
and be confident speaking, to be confident on video, and so much
more about different aspects of business. It was extremely
valuable, and it honestly exceeded my expectations!"
