SUMMARY:Favoriser l’équité des genres : approches efficaces pour attirer et retenir les talents
DESCRIPTION:Les femmes continuent de faire face à des défis uniques dans les secteurs de l’agriculture et de l’agroalimentaire\, particulièrement au Québec et au Nouveau-Brunswick. Cet atelier virtuel de 90\nminutes (Zoom) est conçu pour aider les responsables RH et les gestionnaires à mieux comprendre ces enjeux et à poser des actions concrètes pour recruter\, retenir et soutenir les talents féminins. Grâce à des échanges entre pairs et des conseils d’experts\, les participants prendront conscience des barrières systémiques et culturelles\, partageront des pratiques exemplaires et développeront des stratégies concrètes. Joignez-vous à nous pour cette session interactive avec des exemples propres au secteur\, des discussions en petits groupes et des exercices pratiques le 24 février à 10:00 am EST.  \n  \nAutres dates de session: \n\nJanvier 20th: Favoriser l’inclusion et la rétention par des rétroactions efficaces\nMars 17th:  Préparer l’avenir –  planification de la relève pour des milieux agroalimentaires inclusifs\n\n  \nConférencière:  \n \nCorinne Adam \nFounder and President\, Corinne Adam Coaching and Consulting Services Inc \nCorinne works with senior women leaders in mission-driven organizations or roles who feel called to evolve into a deeper\, fuller version of themselves. Her coaching philosophy is rooted in three decades of frontline experience: she spent 30 years working at the intersection of people\, systems\, and change in Corporate Responsibility/Sustainability and Humanitarian Assistance\, partnering with corporations and\nnot-for-profit organizations across the globe. (link to LinkedIn profile) Her path took her from public relations through international communications in conflict zones\, to labor auditing across global supply chains\, to leading sustainability as a VP for a publicly\ntraded Canadian company\, and finally to launching her own consultancy—a journey across 12 countries that deepened her conviction that lasting change requires turning inward. That work taught her something fundamental: impact starts from within. When people are\nseen\, heard\, and supported\, they become architects of change—reshaping themselves first\, then their organizations\, communities\, and the world around them. This insight led her to coaching. She saw that when people are aligned with their values\, aware\nof their patterns\, and supported with care\, they can lead themselves and others with greater clarity\, confidence\, and compassion.\nCorinne has woven together training in Non-Violent Communication\, Mindfulness\, Appreciative Inquiry\, Collective Trauma\, and Integral Transformative Practice® to create her own distinctive approach. She is a certified Integral Associate Coach™ and member of the International Coaching Federation\, as well as a trained Positive Intelligence Coach™\, bringing evidence-based mental fitness to complement her Integral Coaching expertise.
