“To encourage reflection of our own personal/professional leadership journey, and to strengthen awareness of the importance of creatively fostering environments of belonging.”
The virtual event is on Feb. 10 from 9:30am to 11am. It begins with some networking time; Wisdom begins her talk at 10am.
Tickets are $20 and are available at https://www.ticketscene.ca/events/35884/.

All registered attendees will be invited to a follow up session, led by CWOW vice chair Barbara Lustgarten Evoy, on Feb. 17 at 8am. This will be an open discussion on what was learned and reflections following the presentation.
