Is you online behaviour damaging your friendships and relationships with others?
Part of our privilege to be living in a country like Canada is that we have the opportunity to exercise our ability to speak up, even if we’re not believed or what we say isn’t appreciated or accepted. Even if we’re the one lone voice.

How can women keep the momentum going in their career when they keep being sent back to the Start Again position?
