We offer self-empowerment workshops and business mentorships to help build more confident, emotionally intelligent and resourceful adults. Using the principles of integrity, goal setting, and responsibility learned through business, we aim to inspire hope, instill healing, raise awareness and promote mental well-being and self-empowerment in Canadians aged 18 to 28
