EXECUTIVE PARTNERSHIPS & COMMUNITY SERVICE

FORBES™ Councils provide exclusive opportunities to publish on Forbes.com, one of the best-known business authorities in the world.  As a member leader of the Forbes™ Council, we lead the team of Brand Identity experts and share thought leadership through written articles on Entrepreneurship, Executive Leadership, and Professional Development.  And, as an Advisor to Harvard Business Review™, we offer insight and contributions to content developed, enriching perspectives on ideas from HBR's publications on executive leadership. 

In partnership with Dr. Heidi K. Gardner at Gardner & Co.™ through Harvard Law School™, we are accredited and trained to access and administer the Smart Collaboration Accelerator.  The Accelerator is a psychometric assessment that will support all consulting engagements for clients in every industry and every country across the globe; transforming the world of virtual work in your organization through smart collaboration. 

We are committed to giving back to the community and are honored to support the missions of organizations that resonate for us personally. In 2025, we are engaging in new initiatives to re-energize a United Nations Association in Canada™ presence in Calgary, which includes helping restore hope and belief in a better future in alignment with the United Nations’ principles. We’re committed to making an impact, and honored to bring our leadership and experience to the organization. 

In support of  Make-A-Wish® Canada, we were honored to represent one of the 100 diverse female leaders from across Canada as an inclusive 2023 Ambassador in helping Make A Wish raise $1 Million dollars.  As a Women for Wishes participant, we joined the campaign and worked to unite with women across Canada to acknowledge and celebrate granting wishes; together, creating life-changing moments for children with critical illnesses. In continued support of Make-A-Wish® Canada, we are honored to publish our Extra(ordinary) Executive articles that capture 20 inspirational leadership journeys into a book, with 100% of the proceeds donated to  Make-A-Wish® Canada indefinitely.

As a former Leader for the Startup Canada™ Startup Women Program, we committed our time to mentor Canadian women business owners in Startup Canada's Startup Women program to give women entrepreneurs the building blocks they need to start and grow their business, and help coach them through their entrepreneurial journey. In addition, we continue to support Startup Canada's Global Pitch Competition annually as a Judge, helping determine the potential for Canadian businesses to scale globally. 

As a former Board Director for Lean In Canada, and the former President of Lean In Calgary, we supported the Lean In organization's mission to help women achieve their ambitions; and create an equal world where all voices are heard; helping build opportunities for women leaders through the Women At Work Circles program who inspire growth, new perspectives and life lessons. We advocate for women to make their dreams a reality, while standing united for equality. 

As a former speaker for the Work Wellness Institute™ in Canada, we supported their mission to positively impact workplace health practices by presenting on best practices, case studies, and relevant research in diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives toward mental health awareness and well-being.
