Description
What do senior women leaders know now that they wish they’d known at 22, 32, or 42 — and how are they thinking about what comes next?
Confessions of a Leader: What I Wish I Knew brings together women leaders from the TMU alumnae and broader TMU community for a candid, cross-generational conversation about careers, leadership, and the future of work.
In this moderated discussion, speakers will share the lessons behind the titles — the decisions that shaped their paths, the risks they nearly didn’t take, and how they’ve navigated money, power, burnout, and boundaries while building meaningful careers.
Speakers:
Sandra E. Martin, Standard Editor, The Globe and Mail
Sharon Avery, President and CEO, The Toronto Foundation
Marci Ien, Broadcaster and former Minister for Women and Gender Equality and Youth of Canada
Christina Kramer, Senior Executive Vice-President and Group Head, Technology, Infrastructure and Innovation, CIBC
Ru Taggar, Executive Vice-President, Chief Nursing and Health Professionals Executive, Sunnybrook Health Science Centre
