<h4>Workshop Facilitator: Carmen Leibel</h4>

Carmen Leibel has turned from news anchor to entrepreneur. After a successful career working in broadcast journalism, as an anchor, reporter and producer with CTV for more than 15 years, Carmen is now helping people of all ages become more confident public speakers.


Carmen recently launched Project Five, a business idea that sprouted during the pandemic. As a mom, she started to notice how much youth were socializing and communicating online. (And let’s face it social media isn't going away.) But to become more confident people who can present, share ideas and opinions, eventually nail that job interview and become a successful employee or employer, public speaking is a crucial skill to have! Carmen decided she wanted to use her years of experience to help people of all ages and launched her business in 2023.


Since this fall Project Five has helped hundreds of people communicate with confidence. This includes elementary, junior high, high school, and post-secondary students, an Olympic gold medalist, high-level hockey players and business owners!


In previous years, Carmen also spent time working in the Office of Public Affairs with the University of Alberta helping researchers, students and professors prepare for media interviews and with public speaking. She has also dedicated time with local organizations, as an emcee and volunteer, such as the Lois Hole Hospital for Women, St. Albert Sturgeon Hospice Association, Rivers Edge Counselling Centre, Canadian Breast Cancer Society, Wellspring Edmonton, Edmonton Down Syndrome Society, and Autism Speaks.
