As Verna Meyer put it so beautifully, diversity is being invited to the party and inclusion is being asked to dance!
Join our mentors and mentees for what promises to be an exciting and valuable interactive learning session on examining hidden biases and leading inclusively, facilitated by Karima Kara. The seminar is a forum for the Ottawa community and recent newcomers to Canada to engage in rich conversations related to:
- Communicating more effectively across cultures and leading more inclusively
- Examining hidden biases and assumptions
- Applying best practices when working across cultures and navigating the Canadian workplace
We will also invite our mentorship alumni to share their successful mentorship experience and cultural transition experiences. Refreshments will be provided and parking is free along the street after 5:30 pm.
