“Your career may never be linear, but it still has value. You need to be clear on the lessons you’ve learned, the unique value you provide because of your path, and align them with the ethos of the company you’re looking to join. ” I used to feel little weird speaking to people about getting a job as an entrepreneur, but it’s all leadership, it just looks a little different. Connecting, providing value, and building relationships will help you in your career, no matter what path you take. Thank you to the team at Dress for Success Toronto, Joya Mukherjee, Iona Frost Tahiyat Islam, HBSc., Kirsten Eastwood,Tanvi Joshi and the whole team for having me on this amazing panel. Please connect with your local Dress for Success and see how you can support the next generation get what they deserve in their careers.

“How we present ourselves in spaces and how we're perceived is really important — and first impressions go a long way," says Dress for Success Toronto programs manager Joya Mukherjee, who believes fashion is more about confidence than clothes. 👕👖👞👗 In partnership with CityNews Toronto, The Green Line Team took the TTC to Willowdale to learn how the nonprofit helps local underserved women unlock their career potential.
