About this Event

Close International Women’s Month with Intention



We would like to present a dynamic ecosystem collaboration between

Women in Communications and Technology - NCR, Invest Ottawa and introducing the official launch of Tech2Step Ottawa.


We’ve spent the month celebrating women’s achievements. Now we close with a collective exhale.

In a time of AI disruption, economic pressure, job loss, and workplace uncertainty, success without restoration leads to depletion.




Give to Gain is simple:

Refuel before you pour. Restore before you rise.

We are inviting you to experience a blend of live coaching, real conversation, and a restorative community walk to help you rebuild energy, strengthen your voice, expand your leadership capacity, and grow the social capital that sustains you through change.



What the Experience Includes

• Intentional networking for meaningful connection
• Live, scenario-based coaching sessions
• Small-group speed coaching audience-centric interactive conversations
• The official launch of Tech2Step Ottawa, that includes a guided Tech2Step Community Walk to reflect, recharge, and integrate



Opening Reflections & Keynote

We begin with a short, inspirational leadership segment grounding the evening in the spirit of International Women’s Month.

Welcome & Opening Reflections
Sonya Shorey - President & CEO, Invest Ottawa & Area X.O

Keynote
Tania Leppert - VP CTO, Ericsson Canada

🤝 – Give Back. Build Influence. Grow Together. Discover how community leadership, ERGs, and volunteering expand social capital and accelerate career growth.



Speed Coaching Circles

Continue the conversation in small, focused groups with our featured coaches.

These intimate sessions create space for honest dialogue, real questions, and practical guidance you can apply immediately. Whether you’re navigating change, rebuilding after uncertainty, or preparing for what’s next, this is your opportunity to gain clarity, insight, and momentum in a supportive setting.



Tech2Step Community Walk

We close the event, in celebration of women, on a side by side guided, reflective walk to recharge, connect, and step into spring renewed.



Come As You Are

Not your suit-and-heels event.
Wear comfortable clothes. Bring your sneakers. Leave restored.


This isn’t just the end of International Women’s Month.
It’s the beginning of a more sustainable way forward.

Close the quarter grounded.
Move forward refueled and ready to give, lead, and gain.
