As a result of stubborn inflation and stronger then expected economic growth signs are becoming more clear that Canadians could be seeing interest rate hikes sooner then previously anticipated.

Bank of Canada’s Mark Carney did not directly state that higher rates were on the way however, he did issue his clearest indication to date that his year-old commitment to keep the policy rate at the record 0.25 per cent until July was “expressly conditional” on inflation remaining tame.

In a speech to a business audience, the bank governor noted that both underlying core inflation and economic growth have grown slightly stronger, although broadly proceeding as expected.

The tip-off to economists was that he changed his language on his conditional commitment on interest rates, which has led to historically low rates for both consumers and businesses in Canada and helped the country recover from recession.
“This commitment is expressly conditional on the outlook for inflation,” he told the Ottawa Economic Association.
It was the first time Carney has undercut the commitment in such pointed language.

“They still have considerable latitude, but the changes that would be required to their forecast are consistent with hiking rates sooner than markets are anticipating,” said Derek Holt, Scotiabank’s vice-president of economics. He said Carney may move as early as June 1.

But Holt stressed that Carney’s overall message to Canadians is that rates will remain low by historical standards for some time.
“No matter what, we emerge from this with lower rates at the end point of the hiking campaign than in past cycles. He’s saying the outlook is clouded with risks and there’s a number of reasons to expect growth to be lower than past cycles.”

This year the event will be March 25, at Burlington Convention Centre.
For more information about Women As Career Coaches visit HIEC website.

Young women need access to adult role models who are willing to share their career pathways and encourage the goals and dreams of youth. Since its inception in 2005, attendance at WACC has increased nearly 50% with over 580 female mentors and youth in attendance at the last event.

I attended last year as a Career Coach and I can tell you – it was nothing short of inspirational!

Good News! There is also a Men As Career Coaches because young men need access to adult role models too!

The next Essential Message Teleseminar - Wednesday, March 25th, 2010 - 3 pm EST

As I have mentioned Michel Neray of The Essential Message before, many of you probably already know that he is my business coach. I love attending his teleseminars because I always pick up a nugget I can use.

As an affiliate member of The Essential Message, I would like to invite you to join me for the next teleseminar,
Coaching The Corner Office – Increase your fees 500% by helping Fortune 500 Executives Keep Their Job.

Michel will be speaking with Marie Guthrie, Founder of Career & Life Tracks Coaching and I am interested to find out how she was able to increase her fees 500%!

Sign up before March 17th for the Early Bird rate $17.77

Before 2009, Marie Guthrie earned a decent living from a combination of corporate consulting, leadership & team coaching, and private executive clients in career crisis. Like most coaches, all of her business came from referrals of highly satisfied clients.  But with more coaches entering the market, she found that even corporate paid work was becoming commoditized.

Marie has over 20 years experience as a senior executive in the very exclusive world of the Fortune 50. (That’s not a typo!) She is an innovative business leader, professional coach and productivity consultant known for building employee capabilities needed to achieve personal and business goals. 

Please join me, Cheryl Scoffield, Executive Sales Support, for this Essential Message teleseminar on March 25th.
