Nadia moved to Calgary in 2006 with her family, and graduated in 2018 from Mount Royal University with a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology. Today she is the president of Nadia's Hope Foundation, founded in April 2019, about a year after her younger sister Nadia was tragically murdered in a case of domestic abuse in Calgary in March 2018. The foundation has been raising awareness on domestic abuse, Nadia's story and the statistics we see in Canada.
“Our goal is to raise awareness through education by presenting to the public as well as high schools in Airdrie and other towns and cities, to give proper resources and information that people can take on unhealthy relationships and where to go for help. We want to emphasize that abuse does not discriminate against anyone, regardless of age, religion, culture, socioeconomic background, ableism, or any other stereotype that society instills on victims. We want to share Nadia's story as much as we can and be able to prevent this from happening to anyone else.
I have been a strong media presence since my sister's passing in March 2018, and have used this as a platform to bring awareness of the rise in statistics of domestic abuse. My family teamed up with Shoppers Drug Mart, as well as the Calgary Emergency Women's Shelter to share Nadia's story as well as raise funds to go towards their shelter. We have also become involved with Gems for Gems when they decided to name their first scholarship in honour of my sister Nadia. I have also attended a conference on International Women's Day that was hosted at the McDougall Centre by the Uturn Project.”

Born an enterprising, forward-thinking and original "Avant-Garde" female, I believe in living a mission-inspired and purposeful life!
I am passionate about inspiring women to live into their potential and elevate their confidence, especially visionary female leaders who are looking to scale up their business venture. My work is primarily with Founders, Leaders and professionals (6-figure+), and mission-inspired businesses or social enterprise groups, those who empower other women are especially exciting to work with. After serving on Boards, and as a corporate VP and Director, with 8 start-up experiences - evolution and constant expansion are keys to life being interesting and purposeful.
My expertise is with:
* Women's Growth
* Confident Conversations
* Mentorship
* Knowledge sharing through speaking, writing, radio, coaching, mentorship and women's resource groups.
Teaching women to Flourish in business is a passion. I am a Speaker, Author, Coach, and Mentorship Chair, with my book “Words, Women and Wisdom: The Modern Art of Confident Conversations” coming soon (anticipated release - summer 2018), and host for the Words, Women and Wisdom Show (BBS Radio) to elevate confident living. When women elevate their confidence, are heard and valued, they make more impact, have more fun and greater success in business! Professionally I am a Certified Executive Coach, Chartered HR Professional and Reiki Practitioner, Certified in Emotional Intelligence - on the team for the Coaches Business School.
I believe...
Where POSSIBILITY, PURPOSE & CONSCIOUSNESS meet, we Flourish!
Are you ready to elevate your confidence - you're in the right place...
Warmly, Yvonne
