The latest in the Women Driven series of in-person events, organized by the Motor Vehicle Retailers of Ontario (MVRO) and moderated by automotive journalist Petrina Gentile, will be held on September 18th from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the Canadian Museum of Nature in Ottawa.
The event builds on three key areas: Professional Development Keynote: “Unapologetically Me: Harnessing the Power of Your Personality Type,” Networking & Community Building, and Leadership Panel.
The first pillar is an exploration of how a person can lead authentically by embracing their unique personality traits. It features Jessi Kessel and Farah Mohammed of Beepzz, and Nancy Murray of Deloitte. The last pillar, Leadership Panel, delves into the findings of Deloitte and the MVRO’s Engaging Employee Survey. It focuses on issues like work-life balance, mentorship, representation, and more.
“Our focus is on creating lasting impact — whether through the meaningful connections formed at our events, the actionable insights shared by our inspiring speakers, or the strategic conversations that help shape a more inclusive and equitable automotive industry,” said Liz Kearney, Project Manager with the MVRO and the chief organizer of the Women Driven series. “Every participant and partner plays a role in driving that change forward.”
The next event following the Ottawa session will be in London, Ontario, on September 24. More information about both in-person events and registration is available here.
