About the workshop
Research shows that leadership cannot be singularly defined and is perceived differently depending on cultural and national differences. Effective leadership is a notion of positive influence, as leadership is strengthened by our customs, beliefs and values.
The First Nations Women in Leadership Workshop provides an essential platform for aspiring, existing and emerging leaders. This workshop creates a forum to share stories, wisdom and a passion for leading with the body, heart, soul and spirit. Discussions will delve into how we combine our cultural roles with the responsibilities of the business world. We will also explore strategies to effectively put ourselves forward for workplace opportunities.
This two-day event gathers First Nations women from across the country to reflect on cultural heritage and refine leadership strengths as we pave the way for the next generation of First Nations leaders.
