Celebrating Our Journey and Planning For the Future!
The ENW team, champions, proteges, and employers, got together for an extraordinary event to celebrate the Empowering Visible Minority Newcomer Women to Succeed in the Canadian labour Market program since it began 6 months ago! It was an excellent opportunity for protégés and champions to share testimonials about their progressive journey in regards to giving back, building confidence, compassion and friendship. It was also an opportunity for employers to highlight critical points and give advice on adaptable measures for supporting and working successfully with professional newcomer women.
International author, speaker, trainer and coach Lisa Anna Palmer was the keynote speaker and gave an uplifting talk about “Connection through compassion, courage and competence as Leaders.” This got participants thinking of more ways to show compassion, build their connections and demonstrate their leadership competencies during this difficult time. One of the key tips which she provided to the audience is for us to be compassionate with ourselves. #Covid-19.
Special thanks to the ENW team for such an amazing initiative that provides empowering tips to support newcomer women as they integrate into the Canadian labour market.
