On today's episode, I am interviewing Caroline Codsi, the Founder & Chief Equity Officer of Women in Governance, as the first guest of the Unmistakable Series, on Speaking with Women.A Citizen of the world, fluent in four languages and having lived on three continents, Caroline was born in Beirut and grew up in the civil war. A highly sought-after speaker, Caroline has addressed audiences across the globe, including two TEDx. She has also done more than 100 fireside chats with preeminent CEOs, Chairs of Boards, and global public figures, including Hillary Clinton, Justin Trudeau, and Chrystia Freeland.Widely quoted in national and international media, she is the recipient of numerous awards from prestigious organizations including from the United Nations' Women's Committee, the Quebec Business Women Network, The Federation of Chambers of Commerce or the New Delhi Women's Economic Forum.

Caroline is a Forbes Business Council member.Caroline's word: Unwavering self-beliefShe was for me, an example of a woman who was putting herself out there intentionally and as I found out later, the fact that she were putting herself out there in the service of such an important cause made her an even more compelling role model.Now there is something really different about the way she took charge of that cause: parity in corporate spheres of power, namely boards. With her organization, she build artifacts that would support and then legitimize organizations that were meeting the standards of parity.The certification her organization gives made it and her absolutely unmistakable in that space. Her commitment to fighting injustice, which you will hear very early in our interview, took a life of its own by creating a powerhouse organization and throwing her full genius for putting herself out there behind that commitment.She is a study in what is possible when a woman has an unflinching belief in her capacity.3:45 - Caroline speaks about her childhood, the impact of the Lebanese Civil war on her and her family, and how it shaped the woman she became8:35 - The lessons learned from moving to Paris at a young age, trying to survive by leveraging her communications and networking skills13:38 - I ask about where her self-belief comes from, and she explains the role her family played in it18:50 - Her thoughts on how women can be less tough on themselves, and how to keep persevering in the face of hard times24:42 - How Caroline has flipped the script with Women in Governance, and ‘names and fames' organizations that are making progress when it comes to Gender Equity29:00 - Caroline's three key takeaways: be authentic with your message, be visible, be generousYou can find Caroline on LinkedIn, Instagram, and TwitterHer work: Women in GovernanceIf you loved this episode, please rate and review on iTunes!If you want support with your visibility head to www.thebeauvoirgroup.com or book a chat with me here I love to hear from you!

Are you a parent who will soon be permanently moving to Canada? Do you often ask yourself how will you raise kids away from your home country? How will you ensure you'd give them the better future you've been dreaming of? How will you make it successful in Canada? Hi! My name is Andrea and I'm the Canadian Immigrant Mommy. I moved to Canada in 2015, together with my husband and 2 children. Now, we have 2 more kids, so that makes us a family of 6. This is my first episode as the Canadian Immigrant Mommy. Join me as I share my journey with you as I navigate my way to becoming a successful Canadian immigrant and achieving that dream future for my children - which is the ultimate reason we moved here. My goal is to document our lives in Canada as a first generation immigrant with No friends nor family when we arrived here. Well, of course, 6 years later, that has changed. We found distant relatives and made new friends. But I'm sure you'll agree, nothing beats your immediate family and childhood friends from home. I plan to create regular content that will give you a glimpse of the immigrant life in Canada, as well as give you advice on how to make it successful here. From finding a job that makes you happy, saving money, finding a house and of course, raising a family. Feel free to send me a message when I haven't released an episode in a week. That will keep me accountable in my mission to help you become a successful Canadian immigrant parent too!

"Learn to not bet on the horse, but on the jockey." Is there a way to mitigate risk when investing in Startups? These co-founders may have solve the riddle. Sam Chandola and Thamer Matar are serial entrepreneurs. They are the classic Investorpreneur, they have shared their secret to evaluating deals. Each of them have achieved so much success in raising capital, for their previous projects and their current fund where they invest into startups. This show is very specific as to their sharing of how they grew this fund and the importance of soft skills to working with investors. I promise this show is packed with insights with their on the ground knowledge of which industries are more likely going to make it big and which sectors to avoid. Sam Chandola is the recipient of the 2014 BC Business Top 30 under 30 award, the RBC Top 75 Canadian Immigrant award, and the 2017 TMX Canada's Next 150 award. He routinely talks about entrepreneurship at events and universities such as Pecha Kucha Nights, University of British Columbia, Simon Fraser University, and the Center for Digital Media.

I wanted to create a level-playing field for prospective immigrants. I wanted to write a book that would be a quick and simple read for immigrants who could use the information to apply to Canada themselves.
