Give to Gain – Restore, Reflect, Reconnect

Women in Communications and Technology - NCR, Invest Ottawa and introducing the official launch of Tech2Step Ottawa.

We’ve spent the month celebrating women’s achievements. Now we close with a collective exhale.

In a time of AI disruption, economic pressure, job loss, and workplace uncertainty, success without restoration leads to depletion.

Refuel before you pour. Restore before you rise.

We are inviting you to experience a blend of live coaching, real conversation, and a restorative community walk to help you rebuild energy, strengthen your voice, expand your leadership capacity, and grow the social capital that sustains you through change.

• Intentional networking for meaningful connection
• Live, scenario-based coaching sessions
• Small-group speed coaching audience-centric interactive conversations
• The official launch of Tech2Step Ottawa, that includes a guided Tech2Step Community Walk to reflect, recharge, and integrate

We begin with a short, inspirational leadership segment grounding the evening in the spirit of International Women’s Month.
