A huge thank you to Mark Patterson, Emily Madden, Zachary J. Rose, Sumentha D'Souza, Ron Samson and the rest of the Magnet for including me in a truly special couple of days Magnet Network Live last week. ❤️ 🤯 It was an inspiring gathering of leaders across higher education, career services, government, and technology/service providers in open conversations thinking about the Future of Work/Education and how we can come together to ensure a bright future for Canada and beyond. I learned a ton, had some great conversations, saw some good friends and met some amazing people working on some important problems in a gorgeous setting. What more could you ask for? Well, in addition to the people and knowledge it was the food, drinks, music and venues with Distillery District as a backdrop that put it over the top. Loved the vision from when I first heard it, but the execution surpassed my imagination on all fronts! 👏 Super excited for the future and look forward to working with some of these great people to create a brighter future (of work) for Canada!
