Former Ambassador Marcy Grossman shares universal lessons that apply to all of us to becoming the best ambassadors of our own lives.
If a Jewish girl from suburban Montreal with a degree in criminal psychology can dare to be Canada’s Jewish female Ambassador to the UAE, then anything is possible. Right?!
She brings a call to action for everyone to embrace their potential, navigate challenges with grace, and radiate positive influence in their personal and professional circles.
Just as ambassadors do in their professional lives, being your own best ambassador for yourself and your organization means:
- Embracing a mindset that transcends the traditional confines of diplomatic roles.
- Navigating life with intention, purpose, and authenticity.
- Showcasing your unique strengths, fostering connections, and leaving a positive impact wherever you go.
- Be resilient in the face of adversity
Marcy Grossman delves into the challenges, triumphs, and the full-scale diplomatic disasters that have shaped her path. She’ll explore how each of us can cultivate the qualities that will allow us to dare to be the great ambassador in our daily lives.
Why? Because being your best ambassador isn’t reserved for diplomats in fancy suits navigating international relations (and yes, the occasional cocktail party).
So, buckle up for some daring travels through the tricks, tales, and teachings from a criminally diplomatic mind. Together, let’s uncover the keys to being our best ambassadors and make a positive impact on the world around us.
Marcy Grossman’s background in psychology forms the basis for her understanding of human behavior. Whether negotiating for a prisoner’s release, leading a team through a global pandemic, or lobbying for a United Nations Security Council vote, understanding the human condition is paramount to success.
Her journey to ambassadorship was far from conventional. It was fraught with obstacles and challenges, and she can’t wait to tell you more because these were valuable learning moments both on the national and international stage. Navigating the complex intercultural relationships you encounter as an ambassador defines your success.
Join former Ambassador Marcy Grossman for an exclusive session on current events and international affairs. With her extensive experience and expertise in diplomacy, former Ambassador Grossman will provide a unique perspective on the pressing issues shaping the global landscape. Gain valuable insights and analysis on key topics that impact businesses around the world.
And, she’ll champion the role Canada has to play on the international stage, recognizing our cultural excellence, innovation, economic prowess, partners, and a celebration of our Canadian values.
Engage with a distinguished speaker who has dedicated her career to promoting international cooperation and understanding.
There are times when you feel the ground is collapsing under your feet. When you have no one to depend on but yourself and no one to blame if things go wrong. When, in spite of the risks, you choose to step up and lead.
Marcy shares her strategies for overcoming the impostor syndrome, building resilience and leading in the most extreme scenarios, even under fire. From her work in prisons and evacuating Afghans during the Taliban takeover to navigating the busiest hurricane season on record and leading hundreds of diplomatic staff through a global pandemic, Marcy has accumulated enough scrapes and victories to help anyone successfully ride the scariest storms.
After a 10-year gig in the prison service, and more than two decades in diplomacy, including as Canada’s first Jewish Ambassador to the United Arab Emirates, Marcy earned a reputation as a champion of global peace and passionate advocate for diversity and women’s advancement in traditionally male-dominated arenas.
In CHANGING THE WORLD IS A WOMAN’S BUSINESS, Marcy inspires women to exercise their right to rise, and organizations to break glass ceilings and gender barriers. She makes the case that corporations elevate their performance and nations edge inevitably closer to world peace when more women take their seats at the leadership table.
The feeling that you were meant for something greater refuses to leave you. Yet, the path to embark on a journey of transformation seems fraught with dangers.
In FROM PRISON TO DIPLOMACY, Marcy unleashes the power of her motto, “If you can see it, you can be it”, and teaches the manifestation techniques she applied to achieve her radical career transformation from criminal psychologist to Canadian ambassador and other seemingly impossible life changes.
