Overview

As a follow up to her popular keynote at Cannexus21, Canada’s Career Development Conference, Zabeen Hirji will be offering a free webinar to further explore “Building a Future of Work that Works for All.” We didn’t get to all the great questions – that’s what this session is about.

Who Should Attend 

Those working in career advising, employment services, guidance counselling, workforce development and human resources management. Anyone in the broader career development system including educators, employers and policymakers will also benefit.

Whether or not you were one of our 2,300 attendees at Cannexus, all are welcome to this free online event.

You can watch (or rewatch) Zabeen’s Cannexus keynote and fireside chat with Magnet’s Mark Patterson (45 minutes) in advance.

Zabeen will continue to discuss themes related to our shared purpose in helping people unlock their potential, achieve career success and build inclusive prosperity. Key themes:

• The Future of Work is Human. We are boldly re-imagining “work from anywhere,” lifelong learning, employee agency and responsibility, diversity and inclusion.
• The Future of Leadership is Human. Trust through transparency and authenticity, empathy, inclusion, compassion.
• The Future of Prosperity is Human. This is a pivotal moment for us to grasp with passion and courage. Our challenge is to create Work that Works for All, establishing inclusive prosperity to power our country for generations.
• This is your time to multiply your impact. We will talk about how to hold and start these conversations.

At a unique time when we are more aware of our interconnectedness but also our inequities, join us to hear Zabeen’s call to action: “We are instruments of change. We have agency to turn this moment into a movement. Leadership is not a title, it is action and behaviours.”
