Professional “mingling” can be awkward, embarrassing, and borderline terrifying. In this hour-long interactive workshop, participants will learn how to master the art of networking, no matter how naturally it comes. Whether you’re looking to make your networking events more effective or empower your employees with a valuable skill, this workshop will give your community the secrets to success.
How do you see beyond the CV? How do you hire people who will be truly invested in your company and bring actual diversity to your workplace? In this 30 minute presentation, you’ll learn why it’s important to hire for values and character, not just a checklist of professional accomplishments.
While Corporate Social Responsibility sounds great in theory, it’s often just a superficial way for a company to “look good” or comply with protocol. In this 30 minute presentation, you’ll learn how CSR done right can create a meaningful impact on your local community, save your company money, and attract unique talent.
Does one demographic have a monopoly on greatness? In this hour-long presentation, I’ll reveal how I ran my own business for 17 years with no quotas, but managed to build a team that was truly diverse. Together, we’ll venture into a non-PC safe space where we’re free to challenge today’s diversity policies in favour of meritocratic diversity that actually provides equal opportunity to all.
There’s an accepted narrative that women struggle more in the business world than men. But is it true? In this 30 minute talk, I’ll share my own inspiring journey from highschool dropout to successful founder and investor, including the unexpected obstacles along the way. Your audience will gain a new appreciation for one of life’s most important lessons: how to turn your perceived weaknesses into your greatest strengths.
