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 …

Day of Pink 2019

April 9, 2019 by Annemarie Shrouder Leave a Comment

It’s Day of Pink tomorrow, April 11, 2019. I have seen the rows of pink shirts on display at my daughter’s school, with words of encouragement and advice on how to be more caring. I hope that these are words that go beyond the assignment and the t-shirt slogan, and show up out loud on 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 …

How far have we come?

January 16, 2019 by Annemarie Shrouder 2 Comments

This past weekend, I overheard a telephone conversation between my 6-year old daughter and her dad. He was watching a documentary about Ruth Bader Ginsburg and was explaining who she is and her work. Here is some of what he said (I’m paraphrasing): “Ruth Bader Ginsburg was a lawyer. When she …

Diversity AND Inclusion

October 24, 2018 by Annemarie Shrouder 1 Comment

Diversity and Inclusion are lumped together (we even shorten it to D&I) but the reality I see as a consultant is that they aren’t often practised together. As our populations continue to diversify, and as organizations come under the spotlight for their commitment (or lack thereof) to …

Memory, Diversity and Inclusion

October 17, 2018 by Annemarie Shrouder Leave a Comment

This week I’m re-reading a book by David Cameron Gikandi called A Happy Pocket Full of Money. It’s a great book about the mindset of abundance. I highly recommend it, it’s a fascinating read. It’s my second time through, and of course different things are jumping out at me this time. Here is …

The Royal Wedding, Diversity, and Inclusion

May 22, 2018 by Annemarie Shrouder 1 Comment

Yes, I admit it! I watched parts of the Royal Wedding on the weekend. I wasn’t planning to, but then the thought of showing my 5-year-old a non-white princess got the better of me at 8pm. And I heard the commotion about the sermon by “the Black preacher”, so I had to watch. I was inspired by …

The Gerber Baby and Inclusion

February 18, 2018 by Annemarie Shrouder Leave a Comment

Ah… the chance to write about something positive! As you may have heard, the 2018 Gerber baby is Lucas Warren. And he has Downs Syndrome. Hooray for broader representation. Hooray for another chance to confront and challenge bias. And hooray for something to celebrate. And take a moment to …

The Lorax, and Catching Happiness

January 21, 2018 by Annemarie Shrouder Leave a Comment

Lessons from The Lorax Last Thursday night we took out 5-year-old daughter to a theatre production of The Lorax (the Dr. Seuss character who “speaks for the trees”). She was enthralled with the stage performance, the dancing, the singing and the large puppet that was the Lorax. There were a few …
