The Power of Leadership

January 28, 2020 by Annemarie Shrouder Leave a Comment

Last week, Goldman Sachs announced that they wouldn’t be granting any companies IPO certification if they don’t have at least one diverse director on their Board. Well....! It is amazing to me what can happen when someone influential (or a business in this case) draws a line in the sand about …

Forging a New Path – Harry, Meghan and D&I

January 14, 2020 by Annemarie Shrouder Leave a Comment

I had a whole other topic planned and written for this week, but Harry and Meghan’s announcement has given me pause. When I heard the news that they would be stepping down from Royal duties (and that the Queen hadn’t been consulted first) I was with my daughter. As I explained it so she could …

Don Cherry – and how we can miss the bigger picture of inclusion

December 9, 2019 by Annemarie Shrouder Leave a Comment

I’m a little late to the party, but wanted to wrap up my representation series before moving on. By now, Don Cherry’s remarks and his subsequent firing are old news. But what intrigues me most about this story is how we defend ourselves, and what those defenses tell us about awareness and …

Technology and Access

September 11, 2019 by Annemarie Shrouder Leave a Comment

As many of us are aware - we live in a technological world. Wifi at home and in public spaces with which we can access information from our laptops, tablets, and cellphones. Email addresses that are accessible from any of these devices - and even via apps to make it easier to connect. When we are …

The Importance of Asking Questions

May 28, 2019 by Annemarie Shrouder Leave a Comment

Last week I had an experience that reminded me how important it is to ask questions so we can  see more. I was at Paramount Restaurant for dinner. Paramount is owned by a man who is Muslim and I have seen a prayer room in one location. I would not be surprised if that is standard: another example …

Voice of Women for Peace

May 14, 2019 by Annemarie Shrouder Leave a Comment

Last weekend I accompanied my mother to the 2019 Awards Gala for Voice of Women for Peace, held at the 519 Community Centre in Toronto. Voice of Women for Peace (VOW) is a grassroots organization that next year will turn 60. That’s quite something for an NGO. And it is the oldest women’s …

Exploring Resistance – Part 3

May 7, 2019 by Annemarie Shrouder Leave a Comment

Over the last two weeks I’ve been exploring resistance – specifically to immigration and to the  accommodations we make (and/or are asked to make) for individuals who are new to Canada and who are bringing different beliefs and customs with them. If you missed them, here are Part 1 and Part 2. The …

What Gandhi Didn’t Say

March 27, 2019 by Annemarie Shrouder Leave a Comment

This past week I was at the Global Influence Summit, run by Joseph Ranseth. Joseph has spent years studying the movements of Gandhi and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, and teaches this to thought leaders in their commitment to change. The Global Influence Summit was about starting movements. As you …

Cultural Competency vs Cultural Humility

February 26, 2019 by Annemarie Shrouder Leave a Comment

Over the weekend I was considering cultural competency versus cultural humility. If you’ve been to one of my workshops, chances are you’ve heard me talk about the latter as a new (and more appropriate) point of reference than the former in terms of D&I work. Cultural Humility Cultural …

What if we put the I first?

February 20, 2019 by Annemarie Shrouder Leave a Comment

Diversity and inclusion. D&I. What if we put the I first? Imagine what might change? This week I’m thinking (again) about Board diversity. The lack of diversity and the need for diversity on Boards of Directors is something we have been hearing about for years. Last week I was at an …
