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. Thank you again to Christie for your wise words and for being part of the event. #ForPeopleForCommunities #IWD2025 #minervabc #surreybc #vancouver #women ... See MoreSee Less

We're reflecting on the powerful insights shared at our sold-out Women’s Leadership Forum — a space where women gathered to connect and learn from inspiring women leaders. One memorable question asked of our panelists: What advice would you leave us with as we continue to grow, lead and #bloom? “Whenever I'm facing a challenge where I have to speak up about something and that's uncomfortable, where I don't fit in a room, I think ‘If I speak up now, what’s the worst that can happen?’” said Leya Behra, Deputy Director, Climate Action, City of New Westminster. “I try to dive in with that perspective in mind and then remember to always be true to myself with whatever my next move is.” Thank you again to Leya for your wise words and for being a part of the event. #ForPeopleForCommunities #IWD2025 #minervabc #surreybc #vancouverbc #women ...
