2017 WATERLOO STAFF CONFERENCE KEYNOTES
Harness the Hurricane: Adapt Boldly, Nimbly, Quickly to Extreme Change
Change is constant, unpredictable and accelerating. Extreme change can – much like a hurricane – leave you dizzy, dazed and disoriented, as though the earth is moving under your feet. Even if you survive the storm, you know more is coming.
When Women Lead
This presentation combines humour and personal reflections on women in the 21st century and why the women’s movement is unfinished everywhere. Dr. Samantha Nutt’s often satirical take on hot topics such as “Lean In” and whether “women can have it all” offers an engaging, thought-provoking, and entertaining examination of the challenges women still face in the world and how women (and men) can advocate for change. This presentation supports the University of Waterloo's participation in the UN Women’s HeForShe campaign.
