Gabrielle Scrimshaw is a young professional with a passion to create social impact.

Born and raised in Northern Saskatchewan, Gabrielle is a proud member of the Hatchet Lake First Nation. She has studied international business and policy in Australasia, Asia, the Americas and Europe. In addition Gabrielle became the youngest Associate accepted into one of Canada’s most competitive post-graduate finance programs.

Most recently Gabrielle co-founded a national not-for-profit for Aboriginal Professionals and was named the 2013 First Nations Youth Achiever by

Indspire. She is a regular contributor for some of Canada’s largest national media outlets, and has been profiled by Forbes, the CBC, CTV, The Globe and Mail, and the Huffington Post, among others.

Since moving from her small community in Saskatchewan to Toronto in September of 2010, Gabrielle has been an Associate in the Graduate Leadership Program (GLP) at the Royal Bank of Canada. As one of the most competitive post-graduate programs in the country, the GLP program is based on the notion that effective leaders come from a breadth of knowledge and experience. The program teaches Associates how to lead, manage and think from an enterprise-wide level by rotating Associates within RBC every six months over a two-to-three year period. Through the program Gabrielle has held roles in Corporate Citizenship, Canadian Banking, Finance, and Wealth Management.

In 2011 Gabrielle was selected as one of Toronto’s twenty-five up-and-coming city leaders through Civic Action’s DiverseCity Fellowship. That same year Gabrielle co-founded the Aboriginal Professional Association of Canada. The organization is a first of its kind in the Greater Toronto Area and offers services and programming to First Nations, Métis and Inuit professionals.

Prior to this, Gabrielle was a program leader and volunteer with one of Canada’s premier youth programs, Junior Team Canada, where she led trade missions to Peru, China and Malaysia. Gabrielle was also selected as a Canadian representative for the G8/G20 MY SUMMITS program in 2010 where she facilitated over 120 international youth delegates. Also through the program Gabrielle was chosen as one of four young professionals to attend the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) and CEO Summits in Japan as a Voices of the Future delegate. There she discussed foreign policy and international trade with public officials, including Prime Minister Harper, as well as Fortune 500 Chief Executives. Gabrielle is the first First Nations representative to be selected for the honour in Canada’s history.

Gabrielle is passionate about diversity, leadership and innovation. As the first in her family to pursue post-secondary education and travel the globe, she is a believer in what hard work and a positive attitude can accomplish. In 2013, Gabrielle was honoured as Indspire’s First Nations Youth Recipient, considered the highest honour the Indigenous community bestows upon their own achievers.

Doug Lipp, the author of Disney U and the former head of Training at Disney’s Corporate headquarters, is a world-renowned speaker and acclaimed expert on value-based corporate culture, customer service, leadership, change management and global competitiveness.

Doug enjoyed a unique career with Disney, beginning in 1981, and was fast-tracked into an exclusive Disney management training program, where he was quickly promoted to a leadership role in the prestigious Disney University.

During this time, Tokyo Disneyland (TDL) was in its initial stages of development. It was vital that the “Disney Way” be implemented in its first theme park overseas. Doug was chosen to help train visiting Japanese executives in this philosophy before TDL opened. For two years, Doug helped manage both the construction and operations phases of TDL, including hiring and training more than 4,000 Japanese employees. Doug later penned the first of seven books titled The Success of Tokyo Disneyland. The highly acclaimed book is one of the first to address the effects of culture on business.

Disney Corporate After completion of TDL in 1983, Doug returned to Disney’s headquarters to lead corporate training initiatives. At the time, Disney was undergoing tumultuous change. Not only was the company preparing to release its first-ever PG-rated movie, but it was also experiencing change in leadership, away from a family-led business. Disney was threatened by hostile corporate raiders, and the leadership team was under constant attack. Eventually, Michael Eisner stepped in as CEO, joined by COO Frank Wells.

Doug continued to work at Disney’s corporate office during this period of new leadership and strategic growth. The new Disney strove to cater to a broader audience, developing a product line to appeal to both youngsters and adults —from The Little Mermaid and Toy Story to Pretty Woman and ESPN. Eisner and Wells demonstrated an ability to respect the company legacy and brand, while also creating new markets. Doug worked alongside Disney’s leadership team, where he witnessed these strategic developments first-hand. When Doug speaks about “Disney,” “customer service,” and “change,” he brings an intimate perspective from a time of historical significance at Disney.

The Birth of G. Douglas Lipp & AssociatesDoug’s entrepreneurial spirit overtook him-again! In 1993, The Pebble Beach Company contacted Doug to lead a 30-day “Disney-esque” customer service training initiative. After successfully completing this contract, Doug established his own training and consulting firm. G. Douglas Lipp & Associates.

Doug and his wife, Pam, have grown G. Douglas Lipp & Associates for more than 20 years. Pam oversees marketing and administration, while Doug hits the road on consulting and speaking engagements.

5 GREAT LESSONS FROM BOB NICHOLSON16 Years Leading Hockey Canada

1. Put good people around you“Our last Olympics was a perfect example with people like Steve Yzerman and Mike Babcock, every staff person was involved in so many areas that’s how you put a great group together and that’s how you have fun and also win.”

2. Don’t be afraid to change your mind“The first time I met Steve Yzerman he changed my mind. He was so passionate, he thought that he could do a lot better job than he did in Vancouver. He gave me the reasons why and he really wanted the challenge to try and go compete in Russia. That’s where it started.”

3. Create a great network“We were not in very good financial shape. We had to really look at putting together a good business plan and not rely on government. We had to sit around and wait for government to give us our dollars. We really developed an overall strategy for sponsorship. I think the other key is we really reached out to more stakeholders at the International Ice Hockey Federation, the NHL, Canadian Hockey League and all of our branches and then really put together a comprehensive program for hockey in the country and around the world.”

4. Even when it’s hard, try to find balance“You have to have a really supportive family. At times you get so engulfed in it you lose connection with friends. That’s got to be important because there has to be some balance in your life. You have to carve out your own personal time. I’m not real good at that, (laughs). In today’s world you can go 24/7 and still have lots to do, so you have to realize that.”

5. Use others to bring change“There’s always resistance in hockey in our country no matter what. That’s why you make sure to get some of the most knowledgeable people in hockey around you on those type of ideas. If you have good people selling quality programs it doesn’t take too long until people want to become part of it. It was a lot of work by a lot of people and making sure that you buy a lot of people into it.”

A product of Brantford, Ontario, Wayne Gretzky was born in January 26, 1961. By the age of 2, his father had Wayne on skates and by 5 he was a local attraction.

The making of a superstar was born. Wayne Gretzky was playing and excelling in the game of hockey with players twice his age and height. A record that is still held today has Gretzky scoring 310 goals with his Novice team. By the 1976-77 season he had caught the eyes of the Ontario Hockey Association. He played three games with the Peterborough Petes as an underage player before joining the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds a year later.

Wayne Gretzky turned professional at the age of 17 with the Indianapolis Racers of the World Hockey Association. After eight games Gretzky was traded to the Edmonton Oilers...and “The Great One” had arrived. Following the merge of the two professional leagues (WHA and NHL), Wayne Gretzky became the talk of hockey rinks around the world. During the 1980’s, Gretzky won individual awards which included the Hart Trophy as the NHL’s most valuable player nine times, as well as leading the league in scoring seven times. While an Edmonton Oiler, Gretzky re-wrote the record book in the NHL (by the time he retired he held over 60 NHL records).

Following the 1987-88 season, Gretzky was traded to the Los Angeles Kings. Gretzky had an immediate impact not only with his new team, but also with hockey in the United States. Gretzky continued to dominate the league, and led his Kings to the Stanley Cup Finals during the Stanley Cup Centennial year in 1993.

After a brief stint in St. Louis during the latter part of the 1995-96 season, Gretzky finished his career on Broadway in New York. He spent three years as a Ranger before

retiring following an emotional farewell speech in front of his beloved fans at the conclusion of the regular season in 1999.

Along with his four Stanley Cup rings he won with the Oilers, Gretzky’s award cabinet includes Lester B. Pearson Trophies (as MVP of the league voted by the players), Lady Byng Trophies (as the leagues most gentlemanly player) along with a host of other trophies and awards from All Star games and International tournaments and events.

But as important, Wayne Gretzky attended banquets and performed charity work. He signed autographs and put smiles on a million children’s faces merely by being friendly and accommodating. As great as he was on the ice, he was even more outstanding as an ambassador, a hockey humanitarian, a lover of the game and of life. Gretzky’s induction into the Hockey Hall of Fame on November 22, 1999 confirms his place in society not only as one of the greatest players to represent the NHL but also one of the finest men hockey has ever known.

The Edmonton Oilers ownership had made the near-fatal mistake of trading away Wayne Gretzky, Canadian hockey’s “national resource.” The next year, the team found itself in 3rd place in its division, failed in the first playoff round, and were eliminated. Even with a talented team, after two consecutive Stanley Cup wins, they did not deliver. Eager to change the situation, Oilers owner Peter Pocklington called on Lou Tice, of The Pacific Institute, to help. “I told him I’d do it, with one condition.” relates Lou. “If the Oilers won the Stanley Cup, he’d pay me double. I spent many days with the team members, and they uncovered the attitudes that were keeping them from winning. The team went from the doldrums to the top, and I got paid double!”
