Unlock Your Potential: The Power of Career Conversations with Leaders

May 5, 2025

Imagine having a conversation with someone who has navigated the Ontario Public Service (OPS). Someone who knows the ins and outs of career success. This is the power of seeking private, career mentoring and professional development sessions with the 13 Deputy Ministers, Assistant Deputy Ministers and CIO’s through their generous donations to the 2025 Federated Health Charity Auction.

Our executives have been where you are and know what it takes to succeed. By engaging with them, they will uncover insights you may not have considered, provide honest and constructive advice – pushing you to refine your skills, achieve your OPS career goals and ultimately become the best version of yourself.

Plus, we all know that building relationships with leaders expands our professional network and can provide connections that lead to collaborations, new opportunities, and a wealth of resources. A strong network is like a safety net, supporting you throughout your career journey.
