Meet Your Instructor

Hi, I’m Shauna. I created this free training because I want to help you get the job of your dreams, no matter your race or where you’re from.

I know first-hand that racism shows up in the workplace in lots of ways.

It’s the hiring manager who uses the n-word. It’s the colleagues who make off-colour remarks because they think I’m white, like them. It’s those vague but powerful prejudices that run like currents below the surface of office politics.

It's wrong. But so is perpetuating the dishonesty that bias is history. So, I’ve taken everything from my personal and professional experiences to create programs that confront racism head-on to move the dial for underrepresented professionals. If BLM has taught us anything, it’s that pretending racism doesn’t exist is one of the most dangerous attitudes of all.

On top of my personal experience, I’ve got a Master’s Degree in Business, I’m a Chartered Professional in Human Resources, Senior Certified Human Resources Professional, University Instructor and CBC Career expert Columnist.
