Welcome to Women in Leadership on the Secret Life of Entrepreneurs! 

Today's guest, Jo-Anne Dusel, Executive Director of PATHS brought me to tears when she revealed the incidence of intimate abuse in our province.   We can do better. We must do better.  

Jo-Anne is also the winner of the 2019 Award for Social Justice with the YWCA of Regina Women of Distinction.  

Please tune in and share her passion.   If you, or someone you know, needs support for intimate partner violence, please contact https://pathssk.org/.

Dr. Emily Bamforth joins us today on the Secret Life of Entrepreneurs in our series, Women in Leadership, to talk about her secrets of success and how she has enjoyed the "thrill of the dig" since early childhood.   

The winner of the 2019 Award for Science with the YWCA of Regina, Emily has long had a passion for science and encouraging more women to pursue STEM careers.  Emily is a paleontologist with the Royal Saskatchewan Museum, where she works primarily out of the T.Rex Discovery Centre in Eastend, SK. 

During research for her masters degree, Bamforth discovered and named three new fossil species. While completing fieldwork in Grasslands National Park for her PhD, she collected and catalogued more than 14,000 fossils.

Welcome to an exciting episode of the Secret Life of Entrepreneurs! 

Today is our second episode in the Women in Leadership series and our guest today is Nigora Yulyakshieva.  Nigora was the winner of the YWCA of Regina's Women of Distinction Award for Mentorship.  A political refugee, Nigora arrived in Regina in 1999 with her husband and two small children, seven months pregnant and not knowing any English. 

She had an engineering degree in Uzbekistan, but was told she may never work in her field in Canada. She enrolled at SIAST to study Canadian engineering, then obtained her bachelor of science in industrial and civil engineering in 2002 and professional engineering status one year later. 

She currently serves as the City of Regina’s manager of roadway preservation.

Join us for the first in our series, Women in Leadership, when Pam Klein from Phoenix Group will join me with Miriam Johnson from the Saskatchewan Roughriders, to talk about their role in the Powherhouse Media Group, Media and Manifestation to Mobilize Women western Canada Accelerator happening in September 2019.

On today's episode, I went off-roading with a class of Gr. 5 & 6 students to learn what they think about entrepreneurialism; what it is; why someone becomes an entrepreneur and what their future endeavours might look like.  

Tune in for this extra special episode with a group of really great students. They impressed me with their knowledge, confidence, insights and spelling abilities!

So looking forward to this week's guest on the Secret Life of Entrepreneurs!  

Tiffany Wolf from Helium Communications joins me to talk #ladyballs, communication success and the biggest FAIL ever (not hers).   

She also shares her insider tips on communication for local business and offers up a sweet deal exclusively for audience members.   

Do. Not. Miss. This.
