ISEAD and CUSW Leading and Learning Together with Valerie Vanderwyk - Episode #16

In this powerful and heartfelt episode, host 𝗗𝗮𝗻 𝗣𝗹𝗲𝘅𝗺𝗮𝗻 sits down with 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲 (𝗩𝗮𝗹) 𝗩𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘄𝘆𝗸, Executive Director of ISEAD - Indigenous Skills, Employment, Apprenticeship & Development - a national Indigenous not-for-profit committed to supporting Indigenous youth, communities, and their pathways into education, training, and the skilled trades. Val shares her personal story as a Mi'kmaq woman and Sixties Scoop survivor, and speaks openly about the importance of community, lifelong learning, and building relationships based on trust, sincerity, and shared responsibility. She reflects on ISEAD’s longstanding partnership with CUSW, describing it as an unwavering relationship rooted in mutual respect, support, and a genuine sense of family. Together, Val and Dan explore reconciliation as a personal journey, not a checklist. Reconciliation is a daily practice that shapes how we learn, work, and show up for one another. They discuss mentorship, culture, safety, the ripple effect of leadership decisions, and the importance of creating psychologically safe spaces where people can grow, heal, and contribute in meaningful ways. This conversation is honest, warm, and deeply human. It highlights what is possible when organizations come together with aligned values, open hearts, and a shared vision for long-term positive impact in communities across Canada.
