General Inclusion and Employee Engagement

Mastering Inclusive Presentations, Meetings and Communications
with Denis Boudreau
In any team environment, communication is crucial. Yet much of our communication in the workplace is still
inaccessible to the very people we’re trying to reach. Whether it’s those with colour vision deficiency, compromised vision or hearing, cognitive issues or a range of other common invisible conditions, most of us risk leaving out a large part of our audience every time we have a meeting, present an idea, or share information. In this engaging presentation, inclusive communications expert Denis Boudreau will provide insight, easy-to-use tools and practical advice from real-life situations that will allow you to communicate effectively to your diverse audience.

Decolonizing Wellness Through Sacred Feminine Wisdom

Many professional people struggle to end the cycle of burnout, exhaustion and stress. At the same time, most of us have been taught, through learned and inherited trauma, to over-consume, ignore our feelings, and practice domination over others and the environment. This Indigenous wisdom program helps both men and women recognize oppressive self-care practices and return to a more gentle, cyclical, and connective nature that leads to sustainable wellness.
