Bilingual format was GREAT! Natural and in the spirit of duality:)
This topic is very timely as well as interesting as we look to broaden both our own understanding as well as the culture of our workforce in this space.
I would recommend this session to my colleagues and I liked the resource list she handed out a lot.
Karima has facilitated intercultural effectiveness/effective communication workshops for OCISO employees and mentors. She brings a depth of knowledge and enthusiasm to her work. Karima can read an audience very well and adjust to individual needs while delivering the content beautifully.
The response to Karima’s cultural sensitivity workshop to the Queensway Carleton Hospital Leadership Team was amazing! Judy Brown
Learners were left highly motivated and engaged in Karima’s workshops that flowed beautifully!
At the SAIT School of Business, Karima was excellent to work with, quality input to our SMEs, a good editing eye and always timely and friendly to work with.
Karima delivers valuable information in an inspiring and captivating manner. She's an excellent bilingual speaker and her passion for the subject matter (culture, hidden bias, inclusive leadership) is infectious!
Karima’s presentation enhanced our awareness of diversity, inclusion and best practices to uncover unconscious biases in the workplace. She is a very knowledgeable and engaging speaker!
Overall, really informative, Karima was a fantastic speaker and it helped me understand my personal bias.
From the moment she introduced herself, we were captivated by her enthusiasm, depth of knowledge and ability to connect with everyone - no small task considering we were well over 100 people.
