Landing a job takes more than a great résumé. Sometimes, the biggest hurdle isn't getting qualified. It's feeling ready.
In this episode of Workforce Unscripted, we're joined by Iona Frost, Executive Director of Dress for Success Toronto, to explore the power of confidence, mentorship, networking, and community in helping women move forward in their careers.
From overcoming barriers in today's job market to supporting women entering or re-entering the workforce, we're talking about why career success goes far beyond qualifications.
Because sometimes, the right support can change everything.

The Communication Crisis: Reaching Employees in a Hybrid World
We’ve never had more ways to communicate at work. So why does it feel like no one’s getting the message?
In Episode 33 of Workforce Unscripted, Christine Marinho and Melissa Tabakian sit down with Amanda Cupido, Executive Podcast Advisor at The Walrus, award-winning podcast producer, TEDx speaker, author, and founder of Lead Podcasting, to unpack the communication crisis happening in today’s hybrid workplace.
From overflowing inboxes to under-read newsletters, we’re exploring why traditional workplace communication is falling flat, what employees actually want to hear from leaders, and how organizations can build real trust and connection when teams aren’t always in the same room.
Because good communication isn’t about saying more. It’s about making sure people want to listen.
