For those whose “Mother tongue” is not English (and possibly, to some of us, for whom, it is!) Catherine gives some Great tips on “How to become a better Communicator”.

Hello Catherine, thanks a lot for a really helpful tutorial. I have to admit that it has worried me slightly about the extremely high standard of communication that I have to aim towards for success in Canadian workplaces.

The attendees were engaged and enjoyed the talk. I am sure everybody present learned something new about Canadian culture that will be helpful in their career and/or personal life.

Hi Catherine, I am writing this as a testimonial after attending a recent talk of yours at MOSAIC. The talk was so entertaining with various props. It gripped my attention for the whole 1 hour. I usually get distracted after about 30 minutes, but your talk kept me in focus throughout. I would absolutely recommend anyone to attend your future talks.
