Our Presenter: From Janice MacInnis’ early days at Dal as a shy quiet secretary in the President’s Office, her career has shifted dramatically to her current role of Manager of Organizational Health in Human Resources. She has dedicated herself to self-improvement and readily shares her learnings and failures with others. She is known for her personal, caring approach, which allows people to sense that she genuinely wants the best for everyone. Come hear from the shy secretary who alternated between creeping and leaping into the work that fulfills her.
