Leadership Café with the Canadian Mental Health Association
Sarah Hamid-Balma
Lyne Moussa
Over the last year, Members of the Company of Young Professionals have heard from C-suite executives and learned about leading B.C. industries. During this Leadership Cafe event, we will turn the tables and allow CYP Members to share their creativity and insights on the topic — how can companies in the Greater Vancouver area more effectively address the issue of mental health in the workplace?
This Leadership Café is open to all CYP Members, but those belonging to a Peer Leadership Group certainly won't want to miss it. Get a jump start on your Big Idea Video Contest project by bouncing preliminary ideas off the Canadian Mental Health Association.
This event will kick off with a reception and remarks from local thought-leaders and following that, guests will gather into teams to formulate ideas that address some key questions which will be sent to all registered guests in advance of the event.
Why you need to attend:
- Contribute meaningful ideas to the issue of mental health in the workplace and hear from the Canadian Mental Health Association
- Test your preliminary ideas and get feedback from industry experts before embarking on your Big Idea Video Contest project with your Peer Leadership Forum team
- Connect with Members of the CYP Program in a fun and stimulating environment and compete in teams for great prizes.
Capacity is limited so register early to avoid disappointment.
