Speaking

Edward Kenneth Loyst brings great insight into the world of small business – and injects a self-deprecating sense of humour. That is part of his approach to life – keep it interesting, don’t lose sleep over business, and have some fun.

Loyst can pass all this first-hand knowledge and insight along to your audiences – and they’ll enjoy the experience. They’ll smile at his failures and cheer his successes and they will recognize that a good sense of humour is required to survive the roller coaster of owning your own business.

In the past forty years Loyst has survived three major recessions and three significant stock market crashes. He has taken a company public, created franchises and bought, sold, merged and closed businesses along the way. He may have lost a million, or two, in the process, but he has never been bankrupt – very close a few times, but never down the drain because he never gives up.

As a co-founder of the Canadian Franchise Association, Loyst is imminently qualified to talk about franchising – both from the franchisor and the franchisee’s perspective. His numerous business experiences allow him to speak with familiarity about entrepreneurialism, the retail industry and basic business survival. His business and life experiences also make him an expert in positive thinking.

Loyst’s past speaking engagements have taken him around the world. He has spoken throughout North America and in Asia, including Singapore and Manila. Many organizations have engaged his services, including the Canadian Franchise Association, the Retail Council of Canada, the Trade Facilitation Office of the Ontario Government, the Toronto Board of Trade and the Association of Women Executives.
