SUMMARY:Good Reads for Strong Roots - Don't Be Yourself: Why Authenticity Is Overrated (and What to Do Instead)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a thought-provoking discussion of Don’t Be Yourself\, a bold and insightful book that challenges one of today’s most popular self-help mantras: “just be yourself.” Renowned psychologist Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic draws on decades of research to argue that authenticity—at least as it’s commonly understood—may be holding us back more than helping us thrive. \nRather than clinging to rigid ideas of who we are\, Chamorro-Premuzic makes the case for adaptability\, emotional intelligence\, and self-awareness as the real keys to success—in work\, relationships\, and personal growth. We’ll explore questions around identity\, leadership\, and what it truly means to grow as a person. \nWhether you’ve read the book in full or are just curious about its central ideas\, all are welcome. Expect lively conversation\, honest reflection\, and new perspectives on what it really means to be “yourself.” \nRegister \nAll proceeds from this event will support a local Canadian charity. \nDon’t have the book yet? \nBuy Now

SUMMARY:Learn to Learn: Plan Your Learning Year with Intention
DESCRIPTION:Learn to Learn \n		\n\n	\n	\n		\n				\n\n	\n\n	\n\n	\n				\n			\n			\nPlan Your Learning Year with Intention\n\nMost professionals don’t fail at learning because they lack discipline.They fail because they never stop to plan their learning strategically. \nCourses get started and abandoned.Books pile up unread.Budgets for professional development go unused — or are spent without impact. \nLearn to Learn is a once-a-year opportunity to pause\, step back\, and intentionally design your learning for the year ahead. \nThis is not a motivational workshop.It’s a planning and decision-making session. \nDuring this live workshop\, we will work directly with the Quiet Tenacity Yearly Learning Planner — a structured template designed to help you reflect\, plan\, track\, and evaluate your learning across an entire year \nYou will leave with a clear\, realistic\, and personalized learning plan for the next year — aligned with your goals\, your capacity\, and the realities of Canadian workplaces. \nWhat We’ll Do Together\n1. Plan your learning year — end to end \nYou will work with a structured yearly template to: \n\nreflect on skills you actually need (not just what’s trending)\,\nprioritize learning instead of overloading yourself\,\nmap learning across the year in a way that is sustainable and measurable\,\nthink through time\, energy\, and budget — realistically.\n\nThis is about learning with intention\, not accumulation. \n  2. Understand the Canadian PD & learning landscape \nYou’ll receive practical insights into: \n\nhow professional development budgets work in Canadian organizations\,\nwhat employers actually value when it comes to learning\,\nhow to leverage internal learning\, external programs\, and informal learning\,\nwhere people often leave value on the table — simply because they don’t know how the system works.\n\nThis section helps you learn strategically\, not blindly. \n3. Examine habits\, blind spots\, and learning myths\nWe will look honestly at: \n\ncommon myths about learning (including learning styles and productivity beliefs)\,\nhabits that feel productive but don’t lead to results\,\nwhy “more effort” often doesn’t equal better outcomes\,\nhow neuroscience\, behavioural psychology\, and technology can support — or sabotage — your learning.\n\nYou’ll assess whether your current learning processes are actually helping you achieve results — and what needs to change. \nRegister \n\n\n		\n					\n\n	\n\n		\n\n		\n\n	\n	\n\n	\n		\n									\n			\n\n		\n\n		\n\n		\n			\n\n\n	\n				\n			\n	\n	\n			\n\n		\n				\n									\n	\n		\nWho this workshop is for: \n		\n\n	\n	\n\nImmigrants and internationally educated professionals navigating Canadian workplaces\nProfessionals who invest in learning but don’t see proportional results\nPeople who want a clear\, calm\, and structured learning plan for the year ahead\nAnyone tired of reacting to trends instead of choosing deliberately\n\n		\n	\n	\n	\n		\n					\n\n	\n\n	\n				\n			\n	\n	\n			\n\n		\n				\n											\n	\n	\n	\n	\n		\nFormat & Delivery \n		\n\n	\n	\n\nLive\, interactive online workshop\nReflective\, practical\, and discussion-based\nNo jargon.

It’s about developing the awareness and tools to navigate all kinds of difference — gender\, generation\, profession\, communication style\, worldview — far beyond ethnicity alone. \nWhy it matters now\nToday’s workplaces are layered and fast-moving. Your project team might span five time zones. Your client’s decisions might be shaped by a political climate and cultural views you’ve never experienced. The colleague you clash with might not see the problem you’re trying to solve — and you won’t know why unless you can slow down\, notice\, and ask the right questions. \nCuriosity is what turns those moments from potential roadblocks into breakthroughs. And yes — research shows it can be developed. \n\nHow we do it\nOver three live\, half-day sessions — and in the flow of your real life between them — you’ll explore: \n\nThe difference between curiosity as a trait and curiosity as a state you can switch on.\nWhat fuels or shuts down your curiosity (and how to shift it in the moment).\nA practical “taxonomy of questions” so you stop asking what’s easy and start asking what’s useful.\nHow curiosity works inside emotional intelligence and cultural intelligence.\nHow to use curiosity to diffuse tension\, find common ground\, and open space for better ideas.\n\nBetween sessions\, you’ll live your learning: tracking moments of curiosity\, swapping stories in a private group chat\, drawing insight from films\, real-world cases\, proverbs\, and even fairytales that reveal insights. \nOnce a year\, you’ll have the option to join our in person Cultural Curiosity Community gathering — a social\, off-the-clock space for curious minds to connect\, share\, and inspire. \n\n\n		\n					\n\n	\n\n		\n\n		\n\n	\n	\n\n	\n		\n									\n			\n\n		\n\n		\n\n		\n			\n\n\n	\n				\n			\n	\n	\n			\n\n		\n				\n									\n	\n		\nContent Highlights \n		\n\n	\n	\n\nDecode Your Cultural Lens – Recognize the values\, habits\, and assumptions that shape how you see and respond to the world.\nMap New Environments with Purpose – Learn a framework for quickly understanding and adapting to unfamiliar cultural\, generational\, or professional settings.\nBuild Relationships Across Differences – Use targeted\, curiosity-driven questions to connect with colleagues\, leaders\, and career sponsors in meaningful ways.\nNavigate Conflict with Cultural Curiosity – Apply curiosity to uncover root causes\, reduce tension\, and find solutions in diverse work environments.\nLead with Curiosity to Unlock Innovation – Create team cultures where differences drive creativity\, problem-solving\, and shared success.\n\n		\n	\n	\n	\n		\n					\n\n	\n\n	\n				\n			\n	\n	\n			\n\n		\n				\n									\n	\n		\nTarget Audience \n		\n\n	\n	\nProfessionals working in diverse environments who want to strengthen their ability to navigate differences\, build trust\, and collaborate effectively across perspectives.\n \n	\n		\n\n	\n	\n	\n		\nFormat/Delivery \n		\n\n	\n	\n		\n	\n	\n	\n\nThree-week interactive online experience with half-day live sessions and between-session real-life practice.\n\n	\n		\n\n	\n	\n		\n					\n\n	\n\n	\n				\n			\n	\n	\n			\n\n		\n				\n									\n	\n		\nInstructor \n		\n\n	\n	\nInna Rozum-Tuka — experienced training and development professional with over 20 years in learning program design and delivery.\nRead full bio here. \n	\n		\n\n	\n	\n	\n		\nCertification \n		\n\n	\n	\nCertificate of completion. \n	\n		\n\n	\n	\n	\n		\nPricing \n		\n\n	\n	\n$997.00 CAD + Taxes\nFor group discounts on 2 or more participants\, reach out to info@quiettenacity.com

SUMMARY:Performance Review Preparation Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Performance Review Preparation Workshop \n		\n\n	\n	\n		\n				\n\n	\n\n	\n\n	\n				\n			\n			\nNavigating performance reviews can often stir up anxiety and uncertainty\, especially when conducted across diverse cultural landscapes. This situation is particularly prevalent in the current global workforce where diversity is a significant strength\, yet brings with it its unique set of challenges. Notably\, cross-cultural differences in communication styles\, feedback reception\, and work ethics can sometimes make the process complicated. However\, evidence shows that companies with diverse teams outperform their peers by 35%\, emphasizing the need for effective management of such teams. \nPresenting our comprehensive workshop\, Performance Review Preparation Training\, designed to empower both employers and employees\, including Internationally Educated Professionals (IEPs)\, with the understanding and preparation for performance review processes within the Canadian culture. \nJoin us and walk away with an increased cultural sensitivity\, improved ability to conduct performance reviews\, enhanced communication skills\, and better team relationships. Let’s demystify the performance review process together\, promoting a harmonious work environment irrespective of cultural differences. \nRegister \n\n\n		\n					\n\n	\n\n		\n\n		\n\n	\n	\n\n	\n		\n									\n			\n\n		\n\n		\n\n		\n			\n\n\n	\n				\n			\n	\n	\n			\n\n		\n				\n									\n	\n		\nContent Highlights \n		\n\n	\n	\n\nUnderstand and navigate these cultural differences in feedback\, helping you build stronger relationships with your teams.\nDevelop culturally sensitive strategies for conducting performance reviews\, enhancing your communication for more efficient feedback management.\n\n		\n	\n	\n	\n		\n					\n\n	\n\n	\n				\n			\n	\n	\n			\n\n		\n				\n									\n	\n		\nTarget Audience \n		\n\n	\n	\nIEPs unfamiliar with Canadian performance review culture\, enhancing their understanding and preparation\, and fostering improved relationships and collaboration within diverse teams. \n	\n		\n\n	\n	\n	\n		\nFormat/Delivery \n		\n\n	\n	\n		\n	\n	\n	\n\nOnline\n\n	\n		\n\n	\n	\n		\n					\n\n	\n\n	\n				\n			\n	\n	\n			\n\n		\n				\n									\n	\n		\nInstructor(s) \n		\n\n	\n	\n20+ years of industry experience in program design and certified in multiple disciplines. \n	\n		\n\n	\n	\n	\n		\nPricing \n		\n\n	\n	\n$250.00 CAD + Taxes

SUMMARY:Good Reads for Strong Roots - Jolted: Why We Quit\, When to Stay\, and Why It Matters
DESCRIPTION:This quarter\, we’re reading Jolted: Why We Quit\, When to Stay\, and Why It Matters by organizational psychologist Anthony Klotz . In this insightful book\, Klotz explores the pivotal moments\, or “jolts” that make us question our work\, rethink our careers\, and decide whether to stay or move on. Drawing on research and real‑world examples\, Jolted gives us a fresh\, science‑based framework for understanding not just why we consider quitting\, but how to navigate those turning points with intention and clarity. It’s a thoughtful and practical read that will spark meaningful reflection and discussion about work\, purpose\, and the choices that shape our professional and personal lives. \nRegister \nAll proceeds from the ticket sales of this event will support Heal a Mother’s Heart\, an international fundraising and awareness campaign organized by the Maple Hope Foundation\, dedicated to supporting women in Ukraine who have lost their loved ones to the war \n  \nDon’t have the book yet? \nBuy Now \nCheck out our next sessions:\nAugust 13 – Good Reads for Strong Roots – Breaking Free: Stop Following Expectations and Start Following Yourself \nNovember 12 – Good Reads for Strong Roots – Vibe: The Secrets of Strong Connections in a Lonely World

SUMMARY:From Unseen to Sponsored
DESCRIPTION:A quarterly circle conversation on professional sponsorship\n \n\nYou can be capable\, experienced\, and hardworking — and still remain unseen. \nMany highly skilled internationally educated professionals are told to keep networking\, keep proving themselves\, and keep waiting for their moment. But career growth is not shaped by performance alone. It is also shaped by trust\, advocacy\, and who is willing to speak your name in the rooms that matter. \nThat is where professional sponsorship comes in. \nJoin us for an intimate quarterly circle conversation designed to help you better understand what professional sponsorship really is\, why it matters\, and how to build meaningful professional relationships with integrity. \nThis evening will bring together curated perspectives from senior leadership\, executive recruitment\, and immigrant career strategy to make visible what is often invisible in career growth. \nDate: June 9\nTime: 5:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m.\nLocation: Verity Women’s Club\nCapacity: Limited to 30 attendees \n\nWhat this conversation will explore\n\nwhat professional sponsorship actually is\, and how it differs from networking or mentorship\nwhy many highly skilled professionals remain visible but unsupported\nhow trust\, credibility\, and advocacy are built in professional spaces\nwhat makes sponsorship meaningful\, ethical\, and mutual\nhow to move from being overlooked to being genuinely backed\n\nWho this is for\nThis circle is designed for highly skilled internationally educated professionals who want to better understand the unwritten side of career growth and build stronger\, more meaningful professional relationships. \n\nWhy fee is non-refundable\nThe registration fee for this event is intentionally modest. \nIt is far below the value of the experience and serves as an accountability token — a small but meaningful commitment that helps keep our brain engaged in learning\, growth\, and follow-through. \nImportant registration note\nSeats are limited to 30 attendees. \nWe are offering registration to our Quiet Tenacity community first before the event goes live on our public calendar. Once it is publicly released\, we cannot guarantee that seats will still be available. \nIf this conversation speaks to where you are right now\, register today. \nRegister Now

SUMMARY:Shchedryk: A Garden of Even™ Holiday Celebration
DESCRIPTION:Join Quiet Tenacity presented by Garden of Even™ for its second annual holiday celebration Dec 2nd\, 5:30pm – 8:30pm\, Toronto. \nThis year\, two women from the Garden of Even™ exhibition are brought into conversation across centuries: Mary\, the young woman at the center of the Christmas story\, and Olha Kobylianska\, the visionary Ukrainian writer who imagined a different future for women and the world around them. \nAt first glance\, they appear worlds apart. But look closer\, and striking parallels emerge. \nThrough her signature immersive storytelling and historical reframing\, Kadie Philp\, Founder of Garden of Even™\, traces the revolutionary visions that connected these women—and how their courage to trust what they knew transformed the worlds around them. \nRooted in the spirit of Shchedryk—the Ukrainian composition that travelled the world as Carol of the Bells—the evening also celebrates the beauty and depth of Ukrainian holiday traditions through seasonal music\, imagery\, storytelling\, and cultural ritual. \nFrom the hills of Nazareth to the Carpathian mountains\, audiences will journey through story\, art\, and history to discover a new way of seeing Mary and Olha\, and perhaps themselves. \nThe evening features a curated Garden of Even™ exhibition\, including a newly commissioned portrait of Olha Kobylianska by Ukrainian artist Daria Haltazova\, inviting audiences into a deeper encounter with Ukrainian cultural history and the enduring power of visionary women. \nPositioned at the threshold of the holiday season and the new year\, Shchedryk is an invitation to reflect on the stories that shape us\, the visions we carry\, and the worlds we are capable of bringing into being. \n		\n\n		\n\n	\n	\nWhat to Expect: \n\nA reimagining of the Christmas story celebrating the full spectrum of women’s agency\, power\, curiosity and consent\, where Olha Kobylianska and (mother) Mary meet across centuries. \nAn exploration of Kobylianska’s life and work introducing audiences to the depth of her’s and Ukrainian cultural and intellectual history\, placed in dialogue with one of the most familiar stories in the world.\nFireside chat placing Mary’s and Olha’s story in today’s context exploring the themes outlined in keynote.\nSeasonal music and entertainment showcasing Ukrainian cultural holiday traditions.\nBespoke Holiday Reception/Celebration in a curated space with the Garden of Even™ Exhibition showcasing the newly commissioned portrait of Olha Kobylianska.\nPremium wine and bites\nGarden of Even™ curated marketplace\n\nJoin us for an unforgettable evening—and meet Mary and Olya for the first time. \nEarly Bird Registration
