🛎 In this episode, Marc sits down with Human Connection Expert Tina Varughese, author of the insightful book 50 Shades of Beige: Building Bridges While Breaking Bias. 🌏 With over 22% of Canada’s population being foreign-born—and even higher in urban centres—leaders face an urgent challenge: navigating cultural differences to drive engagement, retention, and profitability.
