One week later, we are still reflecting and celebrating the words shared at our sold-out Women’s Leadership Forum, a space for women to hear from our esteemed panel of women leaders. One of the questions asked of the panelists was what advice they would like to leave us as we all continue to grow, lead and #bloom? ![]()

“Get comfortable with being uncomfortable,” shared Christie Sparklingeyes, Talent Acquisition Manager, The Castlemain Group and Minerva BC Board member, to a nodding crowd who smiled back at her as her words resonated. ![]()

We celebrate the women who have led with discomfort, who have challenged the rooms and systems that have historically not had seats at the table for them. We stand with all the women pushing past barriers, making their voice heard, pulling out their chairs and bringing in other women. ![]()
