Here are some favourite moments that have stuck with me over the last 10 years as a learning partner to leaders of many different generations, levels, and experience

At the end of one of the leadership development sessions which I facilitated, for the EnGender Program of The Executive Minds, a female biochemistry professor who participated, said:

“I thought I needed to lead like a man to succeed in this environment. Now I know better.”

While participating in a conference at McMaster University, Canada, I opened with a presentation on, “Professional Networking: A Renewable Energy Source." During the break, an attendee who considered herself doomed to be a poor networker because of her introverted nature approached me and said:

“You suggested we lean on curiosity when summoning the courage to approach someone for the first time. So, I’m curious, how do you see my success with your help?”

The Canadian Multicultural L.E.A.D. Organization for Mentorship and Training is a non-profit organization that I have volunteered with for over nine years. One unforgettable story was that of a young student who, with the support of L.E.A.D.’s directors, became the first person from her family to go to college. After completing her studies, she returned to give a presentation to new program participants, and when asked why she came back to share her story, she said:

“Because this is where people believed in me before I knew what to believe about myself.”

These are just three of my most precious memories. We're all on a mission. Mine is to help you connect to yours.
