What is Cultural Competency Training?

Indigenous Cultural Competency Training by Karhiio is a transformative educational experience.

It delves into the unique worldviews of Indigenous Peoples, highlighting the deep connections between culture, values, and the land. This training aims to share the particular histories, current experiences and future hopes of diverse Indigenous Peoples and organizations.

Understanding builds respect and from that, the opportunity to truly understand one another and collaborate in meaningful ways.

Nella is an excellent strategist. Her ability to see the full organizational picture and develop integrated goals, objectives and tactics across silos is exceptional—and she marries this approach with a thoughtful, compassionate, and encompassing Indigenous perspective. The result is truly meaningful, high-impact work that supports people at all levels to contribute to Reconciliation.

Matthew McCreary Chief of Staff, Athabasca University

Nella is a rare combination of strategic acumen and organizational competence, with an extremely high work capacity. This manifests itself in her ability to operationalize strategic principles in ways that reflect institutional priorities even – or perhaps particularly – in contexts of budget and other constraints and she undertakes this work with a spirit of humility and reciprocity.

Dr. Chris Andersen Dean, Faculty of Native Studies, University of Alberta

As a strategic consultant, Nella has the innate ability to see the forest through the trees. It’s through this clearing where she develops clarity in solving complex issues. She converts that clarity to build a solid foundation of trust with her clients. I can count on her to not only deliver results, but deliver them in a manner that is clear, decisive and impactful. And finally all of this is wrapped in empathy. Her experience across a broad spectrum of projects, gives her the unique ability to put herself in her client's shoes, and the audiences she is trying to reach. That's a rare gift and experience in this industry.

Sonia Piano Principal, Brand Piano

Nella has great compassion for the people she works with and cares deeply that the work is done in a Good Way. She is a great asset to any project.

Elder Fernie Marty Papaschase First Nation

Working with this Indigenous-led business has been a transformative experience. Their committment to Indigenous strategy not only honours traditional knowledge and values but also fosters sustainable practices within our community. Their approach seamlessly integrates cultural wisdom into every aspect of their operations, resulting in impactful solutions that resonate deeply with both clients and stakeholders alike.

Anthony Valente, P. Eng

Nella is at heart a teacher. She shares her own experiences and her knowledge of Indigenous-led work so that clients have the understandings needed to work from a place of respect. She wants those involved to not only learn what they did not know but to understand with empathy. This bridge building changes the people who work on these projects for the better and creates impactful outcomes.

Anya-Milana Sulaver Founder, Peeps Magazine

Every time I work with Nella, my project benefits from her insightful and thoughtful approach to the work. Because of her collaborative style, I also walk away with a deeper understanding that I can apply to my other work—and to my life.
