About the Event


Issues? Nothing we can’t handle!

Bring it on: bring your issues, challenges, ideas and dreams to this interactive pragmatic session on issue resolution. Wanted to implement that new way of doing business but just cannot seem to get traction? Trying to improve the attitude of a colleague or subordinate — or supervisor? Attempting to make those Zoom meetings more lively? In this interactive session, we will explore those issues that pertain to our lives as collaborators, project managers, designers and more. Prepare to engage and succeed!

Registrants, please reflect on real or potential issues you experience and email them to [email protected] by January 18th for anonymous inclusion in the activities.

An award-winning educator in mechanical engineering, Katherina has connected with scholars and industry representatives across Europe, Australia, Asia and the Americas, demonstrating by example her mode of authentic inclusion. A strong advocate for fairness and instilling a sense of belonging, Katherina teaches engineering, project management and social responsibility courses for Camosun College and for the University of British Columbia, manages international projects as President of the Lokhorst Group Ventures and is a sought-after speaker on a wide range of project management, policy development and governance topics that focus on authenticity. Dedicated to creating an increasingly inclusive culture in engineering, Katherina applies her mastery of interdisciplinary studies by developing policies and delivering courses that instil learners at all levels and in all industry sectors with a deep understanding of the impact of technology on society and with a passion to make the world a better place for all.
