Happy October!
I love working with The DeBruce Foundation because I’m personally passionate about helping others expand their career pathways. As a consultant, I get to help The Foundation with really dynamic work in the space of communications, partnerships, and special projects.
Recently, I had the opportunity to use my “Developing Others” Agility to work with members of The DeBruce Career Corps, Sidney and Brian, to help them prepare for a speaking event. Sidney and Brian interviewed Tiffany Dufu as part of the United WE 30th Anniversary Event in Kansas City, and they were fantastic!

Virtual Reality + Workforce Development
Our partnership with Goodwill of Western Missouri & Eastern Kansas leverages virtual reality technology to help individuals develop their Agilities and workforce skills.
“…The goal of these sessions is to have people practice the uncomfortableness of using these work activities in the safe space, so when they encounter them in the real world, they’re more comfortable in dealing with them.”
Learn more about this initiative from Senior Director, Daryl Williams, and Anita Davis of Goodwill via a recap of a recent Future of Work roundtable.

Expanding Pathways at We Work for Change
At We Work for Change, hosted by United WE, DeBruce Career Corps members Sidney and Brian had the opportunity to lead a Q&A session with keynote speaker Tiffany Dufu!
In this month’s blog, Sidney reflects on her experience, what she learned about career pathways from the leaders she met, and the advice she won’t soon forget.
