About This Course

This course is for anyone who wants to learn more about Diversity and Inclusion in the corporate world. Using my own personal experiences and challenges climbing the corporate ladder to the C-suite, along with the latest in best practice research, I have created “The BOSS Method” to teach how to reduce the impact of Gender Bias in the corporate world. This course will help both men and women understand the real cost of gender bias and stereotypes, and what you can do to start making changes that will have an impact. Learn the dos and don’ts of how to be an effective Ally, and how to avoid the biases that create obstacles for women. If you are an HR leader looking for practical Diversity resources for your company, you can use this course as a teaching tool.

I am an experienced CFO who has transformed the office of Finance across multiple companies and industries. I began my career as an auditor and transitioned into Industry where I found the systems at each business I worked in lacking. I learned how to build Finance teams, the right processes, and then implement the systems to match. I have built high-performing teams and financial models for every size and type of business, and successfully designed and implemented systems including SAP, Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Prophix. My specialty is I speak "business" not accounting, and can explain complex topics in a simple, interesting way. After doing the work for 25 years, I am now sharing my tools and best practices so that the next generation of Finance leaders have the resources they need at hand. I only teach what I have successfully done! In addition to Finance, I am passionate about building better businesses, with Diverse leadership, people-first practices to create healthy cultures that support ALL people equally. After years of putting work ahead of my health, I'm an avid Fitness enthusiast and work to inspire people to invest in their own health. Follow me on LinkedIn for daily content on Fitness, work/life balance, and building healthy corporate cultures.

Credit Information

Is this course eligible for my CPD requirements as a Canadian CPA?

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.

Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.

    Great match for me. As I end my career as a CFO I have seen all of the information in this course over the many years and positions I have been in. I see the gender inequality that continues to occur and the lack of process to address it. I’m sitting here watching and sharing with my husband who is also a CA and president of a company, sharing the information with him in the hopes it filters down to the people he touches in his daily life and work. Thanks for the reminder to look at my role and how I can affect change and diversity.

    Enjoyed this presenter.....she was an A plus in terms of delivery but I didn't care for some of the content which I found to be outdated and not applicable in my experiences or with colleagues in other organizations.
