I started in IT, solving systems problems and streamlining workflows. But the deeper I went, the more I saw that communication (not just software) is what truly transforms teams. When I stepped into leadership, I realised: 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘧𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘪𝘴𝘯’𝘵 𝘷𝘰𝘭𝘶𝘮𝘦. 𝘐𝘵’𝘴 𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘯𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵. 𝘓𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘱 𝘪𝘴𝘯’𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘭. 𝘐𝘵’𝘴 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯. I studied speaking, emotional intelligence, NLP, and facilitation. I went from the quiet girl who avoided conflict… to a coach, speaker, and movement-builder helping others find their voice too. Now, I’m on a mission to redefine confidence and leadership, so every voice feels safe, seen, and strong. If you want to lead with clarity, speak with impact, and build trust that lasts, you’re in the right place.

As a fan of Evan Roderick, I’ve always found his journey to be a powerful example of determination and quiet ambition. He’s not just an actor and songwriter—he’s someone who turned unexpected change into opportunity, and that’s what makes following his work so rewarding. I first saw Evan in Arrow, where he played Detective Nick Anastas. His performance was subtle yet compelling, and it immediately made me want to learn more about him. I was surprised to discover that before acting, he had played Division I hockey at UMass Lowell. After an injury ended that chapter of his life, he didn’t give up—he changed direction and committed himself to the arts. Growing up in Vancouver, Evan Roderick Anderson was focused on hockey from an early age. He attended multiple schools across British Columbia to follow his dream of playing at the highest level. Along the way, he also began working in commercials during the summer. These minor early roles gave him experience in front of the camera, even before acting became his full-time pursuit. After leaving hockey, Evan returned to Vancouver and took acting seriously. He trained through workshops and participated in independent film projects, building his skills one role at a time. That steady growth became clear when he took on the role of Justin Davis in Netflix’s Spinning Out. His performance was layered and emotionally honest, earning him recognition from viewers worldwide. Evan’s upcoming role as Dylan Roberts in If I Run is another exciting step. The character is emotionally complex, and it’s the kind of part that allows him to show even more depth—his Leo Award nomination in 2023 for Sealed with a List felt like a well-deserved moment of acknowledgment. In addition to his acting career, Evan is also creating music. His single, “Early Years,” gives fans a glimpse into his reflections, adding a new dimension to his work. Evan Roderick continues to grow as both an actor and a songwriter, and being part of his fan community has been an inspiring experience.

Shani Reisnour is a seasoned paramedic with 20 years of experience on the front lines of emergency care. Throughout her career, she has witnessed firsthand the devastating impact of the nation's ongoing drug crisis, responding to countless calls involving substance use and its tragic consequences. However, the crisis hit far closer to home than Shani could have ever imagined. Despite her extensive training and expertise in the medical field, she found herself facing the painful and personal reality of substance use disorder within her own family when her daughter fell victim to addiction. What began as a mother's worst nightmare quickly became an all-consuming battle. The overwhelming presence of fentanyl—a drug that doesn’t discriminate—sent shockwaves through her world, shattering the illusion that no one was truly immune to this epidemic. Watching her daughter struggle with addiction, Shani was forced to confront the harsh realities of the crisis in a way she never anticipated. The urgency of the situation and the devastating impact on her family challenged her understanding of the epidemic she had spent years responding to and forced her to rethink how deeply addiction can affect every facet of a person’s life, regardless of their background, education, or profession. It was a sobering realization that the fight against addiction is not just a medical one—it’s also deeply personal, emotional, and requires a level of resilience and community support that is often lacking. This experience ignited Shani's resolve to not only continue her professional efforts, but to become a vocal advocate for others who find themselves in the same heartbreaking position. Driven by the desire to make a tangible difference, Shani founded Mya’s Mission Foundation Inc., a nonprofit dedicated to decreasing or eliminating the financial barriers that often prevent individuals in North Dakota from seeking treatment for substance use and mental health disorders. As the Director, Shani has led the foundation in providing critical grants to individuals seeking treatment services. These grants allow people to access the care they need, enabling them to break free from the grip of addiction and mental health challenges. Through her work with Mya’s Mission, Shani is helping create a future where those struggling with addiction and mental health issues have a better chance of receiving the care they need to rebuild their lives. She is passionate about breaking down the stigma surrounding substance use disorder, and works tirelessly to ensure that individuals and families know they are not alone in their journey to recovery. As a speaker, Shani draws from her personal and professional experiences to deliver powerful messages of hope, resilience, and the importance of proactive intervention in addressing the crisis of addiction. Her story, both heart-wrenching and inspiring, encourages communities to take action, providing education and compassion in the fight against addiction
