Editor’s
View

We all have our own stories, from the struggles
we face to the moments of joy and triumph we
experience. Yet, there are some individuals
who, through their words and actions, leave a legacy that
transcends their lifetime and continues to inspire people for
generations to come. From the greatest leaders to the
humblest of us all, each person has a story, a journey, and
an impact.
Meet Thanh Campbell, a Vietnamese orphan who has built
a following by sharing his prodigious story. Having grown
up without knowing his birth family and enduring a myriad
of personal hardships and obstacles, Thanh has devoted his
life to helping those less fortunate. He began his journey as
a public speaker, sharing his own stories and experiences.
His impact was so great that people encouraged him to
write his memoir, which he did and is titled Orphan 32.
Through his stimulating story, he has touched the lives of
many and continues to spread hope and resilience to those
around him.
Belief, Faith, and Hope are often perceived as something
conceptual and hard to quantify, yet they are some of the
most influential aspects of a person. It can be the distinction
between persisting and surrendering, between success and
failure, and between pleasure and misery. It is a source of
strength, courage, and resoluteness that can assist us in
overcoming any difficulty in life.
On and off stage, Thanh always shares a feeling of
optimism, even though historically, he experienced a sense
of insignificance being undervalued. He lacked confidence
in himself, so much so that he had a severe apprehension
about speaking in front of others, particularly in front of his
friends, as he believed that they could detect his anxieties.
He is now a professional speaker who tours and speaks to
large crowds for a living. His message connects with many
who also share this disabling phobia.
Overcoming Obstacles
Thanh has consistently encountered difficulty in his effort to
find a sense of belonging. He has felt like the odd one out in
the various locations he has lived, being the proverbial
‘square peg in a round hole.’ He is cognizant of the
affection his friends and family have for him, yet he is
always uncertain of his place and purpose in the World.
His battle was compounded by a deep-seated sense of
worthlessness and insignificance. This was especially
evident in his fear of public speaking. Many other people
can relate to this. As it had a profound effect on his life, he
didn’t believe he had anything worthwhile to offer and was
scared that if he stood up and spoke in front of a group,
especially his peers, people would be able to see through
him. He was terrified of what people would think of him if
they saw the real him; even he was unsure of who that
person was.
When one of his mentors spoke words of truth into his life,
a drastic change occurred inside of him. He moved from
fearful to fantastic when it came to public speaking. His
fear of speaking in public vanished, and he welcomed the
platform. It is not merely about facing and overcoming
fears, nor is it about avoiding them completely; it is about a
shift in perception of the obstacle one fears.
“When stressed, our thoughts will cause our bodies to go
into a fight or flight response, whether it’s real harm or
perceived harm. It’s about radically and genuinely
changing our perception of the obstacle we are facing from
a posture of fear to an attitude of education. We fear that
which we do not know, but we gain wisdom, experience, and
strength from studying it which we do not know.”
Overcoming his fear and anxiety, he was able to channel
them into something pragmatic, enabling him to realize his
professional ambitions. Currently, he serves as the
Canadian Director for Partners Worldwide Canada, and
his tenacity and dedication have paid off, achieving the
level of success he once only dreamed of. His story serves
as a reminder of how to conquer challenges, overcome
obstacles and attain success. Today, he stands as a testament
to what can be achieved when faced with adversity and
choose to cling to faith and hope.
Witnessing a Remarkable Journey
From a young age, Thanh was enchanted by the business
world, taking inspiration from Alex P. Keaton from the
iconic tv show Family Ties; he too would be seen carrying
his father’s old briefcase, dreaming of making it big in
business. He understood the power of money and the
influence it had on the world, as well as the opportunities it
offered. Thanh was captivated by movies like Pursuit of
Happiness, as well as TV series such as Dragons’ Den and
Shark Tank, and was constantly reading about successful
business leaders. He was aware that business could bring
about remarkable outcomes for normal people.

Since then, he has wholeheartedly adopted the Givers-Gain
principle, which is based on the idea that when good people
are entrusted with money, they will use it positively to help
others. His upbringing in a pastor’s family instilled in him
the value of giving to those in need, inspiring him to find
ways he can help people in his own life. Being an orphan
from Vietnam, he is aware of the poverty in his homeland
and works to provide aid to those who are still struggling
around the world. Thus, he is a testament to the truth of the
givers-gain principle: when those with resources use them
to help those without, everyone wins.
Inspiration Behind Orphan 32
Having been employed by various charitable organizations
and inspired by his journey through poverty, he would often
share his story with others to provide a context for his
desire to work in the charitable sector. His story of
resilience, determination, and courage resonated so deeply
that many encouraged him to write his memoir. With this
tool, he could share his story with a wider audience,
offering hope and inspiration to those people who find
themselves in similar situations.
After taking their advice, he self-published Orphan 32 in
2013 and has since sold over 7000 copies. His success has
since been followed by the publication of a children’s book,

Lost and Found: Orphan 32 Goes Home. His books are
available on Orphan32.com and as an ebook on Amazon.
Thanh’s Mission of Hope
With the opportunity to speak to audiences around the
world—on stage, in the media and global press, on
podcasts, at Zoom conferences, and in school assemblies
across Canada—Thanh has had the chance to share his
story and inspire to well over a million people. His favorite
speaking opportunity has been to orphans in Peru and Haiti,
as he has a special connection with those who have gone
through similar experiences.
While sharing his story, he always conveys a message of
hope and resilience; this has been overwhelmingly well-
received by audiences and can be summed up in one word:
Hope.
“No matter the situation, there is always hope that
something better is coming and relief from your pain is
possible.”
His ultimate goal is to provide hope to those in seemingly
hopeless situations and to be a beacon of light, showing
people the way to a better future. Ultimately, he wants to
impart the courage and belief that, no matter how diﬃcult
life can be, things can always get better.

Humbled and Inspired
After coming off the stage and seeing the crowd eagerly
waiting to meet him, often it is to share their life stories
with him; he can’t help but feel humbled by the courage and
resilience of many of these fellow storytellers. These
unsung heroes, in turn, inspire him with their determination
to not only survive difficult circumstances but also strive for
a better life for their families. He often encourages them
that they, too, have stories that could truly serve as a source
of inspiration and that, potentially, they have a story worthy
of being written in a book.
He has also had experiences where “tough guys” will come
up after one of his presentations weeping, sharing how his
story changed their lives for the better and their will to live.
He also loves when people have heard his story a few times,
and they share that they never tire of hearing his story and
they learn something new every time they hear him.
Transforming Poverty with Partnerships
Partners Worldwide began as Partners for Christian
Development in Kenya, recognizing that teaching a man to
fish isn’t enough to eradicate poverty- they must have
access to the market to sell their fish, so they don’t have to
eat fish for a lifetime. To help reduce poverty, the solution
was to create partnerships between Micro and SMEs in
developing regions with business professionals, owners,
and experts in North America. The idea was to have these
mentors enable access to top-tier business training and
mentorship as well as new customers and clients.
This organization is distinctive in that it seeks the business
acumen of business professionals who are willing to
provide their Time, Talent and Treasure to help fellow
entrepreneurs. Recognizing that their business knowledge
and insights are just as valuable as monetary contributions,
their aim is not to lift one individual or family out of
poverty but to elevate an entire community to a higher
quality of life.
Achieving Sustainability and Growth
As they help businesses become more sustainable within
their cultural context, they also give them the capacity to
grow and develop. Through specialized training and
mentorship, business owners learn not only how to keep
their doors open but also how to expand their business so
that they can hire more people to meet the demands of their
customers. Being provided these tools, businesses are
becoming more sustainable, resilient, and profitable. As the
saying goes, a rising tide floats all boats – the success of a
few businesses can increase the quality of life for the whole
community. This is how community development should be
done, not with handouts but by offering a hand-up.
Bridging the Gap for Business Affiliates
The recent pandemic has had a devastating impact on small
businesses all over the world, and it has been especially
hard on the mentors of these businesses—Business
Affiliates (BA)—who can no longer travel to visit their
partners in the mission field. Thankfully, technology has
kept them connected, even when they can’t be together in
person. With the help of video conferencing, online
collaboration tools, and other digital solutions, business
affiliates have been able to stay connected with their
partners and continue to offer them the support they need.
Thankfully, trips to visit their international mentees have
resumed this year.
Finding additional female business mentors in North
America is an ongoing goal for their partners, as the
majority of the entrepreneurs they serve are women. They
are seeking to create more connections between North
American Business Women and Partners Worldwide to
provide opportunities for mentorship and exchange between
female counterparts in developing countries.
Empowering Local Businesses to Reduce Poverty
Partners Worldwide ensures that their Local Community
Institutions (LCIs) with whom they partner are aligned with
Most Influential Business Leaders to Follow in Canada

their mission to reduce poverty through business while also
sharing their Christian values and goals. To ensure the
success of the projects they fund, they have created a
comprehensive training course for LCIs who rigorously
evaluate business proposals on a daily basis.
Partners Worldwide is also creating space in its funding
model for tech companies that are more progressive and
committed to aiding and assisting the business community
in rural and impoverished regions. Technology is helping to
bridge the distance between those who live in rural and
other remote areas that lack access to banking services.
Unveils Plan to Ignite 1 million
Partners Worldwide has set a goal for the year 2030 with
their ‘Vista 2030’ vision: To ignite One million Lights
(Entrepreneurs) which will provide employment to 3
million people and help reduce poverty for 15 million
people Worldwide.
To achieve their goal of fully alleviating poverty in
impoverished regions, they need to expand their reach and
gain access to more qualified entrepreneurs in those
poverty-stricken regions. They want to empower these
individuals to grow their businesses and create positive
change in their communities. By providing them with
access to resources and support, they can help break the
cycle of poverty and help communities thrive.
Thanh’s role as a Canadian Director is to expand the
network of Business Affiliates and donors who will support
their efforts at eradicating poverty. He is also tasked with
the job of increasing name recognition for Partners
Worldwide in the Canadian Charitable landscape. He will
be harnessing the power of influence of his existing
supporters to help more LCIs (Local Community
Institutions) find the Business Affiliate Teams they need and
to have to mentor them towards success. We know that
under Thanh’s leadership, Canada can become a model of
success for other markets.
Prestigious Awards
Amongst his many certificates of appreciation from Rotary
Groups, Probus Clubs, and The UN, and along with his
plethora of letters of recommendation from Political
Officials, School Boards, he is especially proud and
delighted to receive two specific awards. In 2018, he was
honored with the second granting of “The Guys Who Get
It” Award from Illuminessence Women’s Magazine. His
efforts to bring pride back to the city of Hamilton by
highlighting the hard work of those Female Entrepreneurs
striving to make their hometown a better place to live and
do business had been duly recognized. Moreover, he is
humbled and honored to have also been bestowed with the
Paul Harris Fellow Award by the Rotary Club, a
recognition known throughout the world, of which he fully
grasps the significance of wearing the pin.

Survivor, Speaker, Author, and Advocate, Leading with
Resilience and Compassion!
hriving in the face of change requires embracing
Tuncertainty and seeing it as an opportunity for
growth. Each challenge becomes a stepping stone
toward realizing our true potential. As individuals, we can
evolve, learn, and surpass our previous limitations. With
each step forward, we unlock hidden talents and strengths
that we may not have known existed.
An example of possibilities and change is Elizabeth
Gagnon, the Founder of Miss Liz’s Tea Parties, who used
her personal journey of overcoming adversity to empower
others.
Despite a diﬃcult upbringing marked by abuse, grief, and
mental health struggles, Elizabeth emerged stronger and
more determined. In 2015, she brought her vision to life by
establishing Miss Liz’s Tea Parties in Cornwall, Ontario.
Initially, these gatherings were meant to honor the
remarkable women in her life, but they quickly evolved into
a platform for supporting and uplifting the community.
Elizabeth recognized the importance of giving back and
transformed these events into fundraisers to support
individuals dealing with abuse, grief, and mental health
challenges. Expanding her mission in 2019, Elizabeth
launched Miss Liz’s Teatimes Interviews, a powerful media
outlet.
Through this platform, she collaborates with change-
makers, leaders, and advocates from around the world to
raise awareness about critical issues. As an International
Speaker, Author, and Podcast Host, Elizabeth’s impact
extends far beyond her hometown. Her interviews and
insights have touched countless lives, sparking meaningful
conversations on resilience, mental health, and
empowerment.
At the core of Elizabeth’s work is the symbol of T-E-A,
representing unity, support, and empowerment. Through the
ritual of tea time, she creates a safe space for open dialogue
and healing conversations, fostering a sense of belonging
and understanding among diverse communities.
As we sip our tea, let us be inspired by her journey and join
hands in making the world a better place, one teatime at a
time!
Please tell us about your company, its mission, and its
vision. What role did you play in furthering its
development and outreach?
Miss Liz’s Tea Parties began in my home on September
15th, 2015, as a way to honor and celebrate the strong
women in my life. These gatherings brought together
friends and neighbors from my community, creating
connections and fostering friendships.
In January 2016, I decided to move the tea parties to
Cornwall, where I started hosting fundraising events to
support various services that assist individuals facing abuse,
grief, and mental health challenges.
In 2019, I took my business and mission a step further and
transformed it into a media outlet called Miss Liz’s
Teatimes Interviews. This platform allowed me to work and
collaborate with individuals globally, raising awareness on
a wide range of topics. With four seasons and over 250
interviews, I have had the privilege of engaging with guests
from more than 40 countries, shedding light on important
issues that impact not only Canada but also the world.
Scheduling interviews months in advance, I diligently
prepare and promote each guest’s story, business, services,
and programs. As a one-man team, I use storytelling and
awareness initiatives to inspire positive change. Throughout
my journey, I have collaborated with international leaders,
global organizations, PR media, publicists, and change-
makers who share similar values and missions.
Additionally, I have partnered with select guests to
showcase their brands and their impactful work on a global
scale, fostering relationships with other countries and

services that I hope to bring to Canada in the future.
Miss Liz’s journey is only just beginning, and I am excited
to continue making a difference through my tea parties,
interviews, and collaborations.
Miss Liz’s mission is to foster togetherness among people.
With a historical perspective and an eye on the future, Miss
Liz aims to explore the impact of various actions on
humanity. Through the simple act of serving T-E-A
(Teaching Educational Awareness), Miss Liz creates a
welcoming environment where individuals can share their
personal stories of triumph, inspire others, and initiate
meaningful projects and services.
By promoting the idea that something different and
beautiful is possible, Miss Liz strives to revive barter and
trade practices and establish strong global relationships by
collaborating with smaller brands. The vision of Miss Liz is
to create a space that embraces diversity and inclusivity,
thereby bringing attention to the often overlooked aspects
of life. By working together, connecting with one another,
and establishing networks, Miss Liz believes in the power
to change lives. Upholding core values, self-belief, and a
growth mindset, Miss Liz aspires to reach homes, schools,
and communities using the medium of T-E-A. The vision is
to encourage open discussions and pave the way for
innovative leadership.
What was your inspiration to step into the industry that
you are now serving?
Since 2015, my inspiration has come from trying and seeing
different things - from home parties to community events to
virtual interviews. The people who use my services and
support me are my true inspiration. To inspire others, we
must first find inspiration within ourselves by recognizing
and believing in our purpose. To be a leader and set an
example, we need to build a brand that stands out from the
ordinary and encourages others to shine. My goal has
always been to do something unique, be different, and stand
out from the crowd of ordinary experiences.
Offering others the opportunity to believe in their purpose
and aspirations and simply give it a try. Similar to my daily
routine, I exert my utmost effort until I discover more
effective approaches. At the age of four, my Oma motivated
me with a modest yet transformative cup of tea. Her words
lingered and pondered, revitalized and unleashed, and she
persevered. Today, I utilize that same tea to express my
deep gratitude towards everyone I have the privilege of
collaborating with.
Please tell us about your company’s products, services,
and solutions. And how do they stand out in the
industry?
Products I offer are one-on-one interviews, Workshops,
Fundraising Events, Shoutouts, and Sponsorship
Opportunities to have your business and services seen and
heard. I offer my voice for speaking events and community
outreach for different ways of serving T-E-A. Teaching
Educational Awareness, I speak on Abuse, Grief, Mental

health, Peace, and Humanity. I offer merchandise and books
that I have created and written. I am looking for future
investors and creators as well as “COLLABORATIONS
OPPORTUNITIES.”
According to you, what sets your company apart from
other companies within your industry?
The number one thing that sets my business apart from
others is the connections and relationships with people who
prioritize people over profit. Staying connected to everyone
I work with through personal and professional updates with
reunion shows, guest updates on new products and services,
and wins in their lives. I have it so that I am reachable for
any support and help I can offer them by getting them
connected to the right resources they may need. Through
emails and messages with the ones I have collaborated with,
I believe in giving out shout-outs of appreciation and
celebrating their wins, not just my own.
How do you think advanced technology will enhance the
operations of your industry in the near future? And how
is your company preparing for that change?
The future of technology intrigues me, as I see it as a
stepping stone of growth in a different way, and I appreciate
that. I feel it will bring a huge change to my mission and
vision in a positive way, as it can help me create a deeper
virtual understanding through games, books, and robotic
experiences. I feel technology is something we should look
at as a different resource for helping grow our minds to
possibilities. Like my mission, it is a new way of learning
and creating an understanding of what is different that can
help millions around the globe.
Human and technological partnerships are changing.
Technology can help open the creative side of our minds
and get us out of our comfort zones of doing the same
thing. I am preparing my mission and business to bring the
technology side to them. To help not only my country but
also around the globe. The T-E-A is just the start of the
growth to come with an open mind to possibilities with the
help of technology and future ways. The future of
awareness is that your future can change at any time.
Where do you see yourself in the future? Also, how do
you envision scaling your company’s operations and
outreach in the coming years?
Where I see myself in the future and the next 10 years I see
a global franchise of Miss Liz’s Stages, Shops, Educational
Conferences, and conventions. Globally for schools,
businesses, and communities. I see virtual games, board
games, clothing brands, campaigns, and collaborations.
Partnerships, sponsorships, and investors who want to build
the new T-E-A of teaching educational awareness not only
for me but for their businesses and countries too. I see
ambassadorships and even educational products with a
creative style built by the AI of technology. I see endless
possibilities in the future of Miss Liz.

Growth
Eric is a dedicated Conscious Business

crafting solutions for organizations,
their leadership teams, and their

Working closely with internal teams,
he identifies avenues for self-

This united effort is geared toward a

Eric’s overarching mission is to
embody compassion and courage
through purposeful action. He
empowers himself and others to
venture into the marketplace,
constructing the essential structures
and systems needed for individuals to
confidently self-lead within any
organization. This empowerment is
rooted in a commitment to upholding
integrity, ensuring that every
interaction and situation is improved
by their presence.
Empowered by Inspiration
Eric’s transformative journey into
development was sparked by a
profound self-discovery, which began
with encountering the work of Tony
Robbins. Witnessing how Robbins
built an empire of like-minded
individuals, bound by a collective
mission, ignited a realization within
Eric. He recognized the power of self-
development and the clues to success
embedded in Robbins’ path.
Determined to unlock his own
potential, Eric made a resolute decision
to immerse himself in growth. He
became a Platinum Partner, delving

into Robbins’ highest-level
mastermind, committing to “Do the
work” on his self-leadership. This
transformative experience allowed Eric
to cultivate the necessary skills and
mindset to step into any environment
with confidence, embracing the role of
an empowering leader.
Inspired by Robbins’ example, Eric set
forth on a path of self-empowerment,
understanding that true leadership
stems from personal growth. By
dedicating himself to this journey, he
honed the ability to lead authentically
and empower others around him.

Trusting in Yourself
Eric enthusiastically spoke about the
major challenges in his career,
highlighting how they played a pivotal
role in developing his leadership skills.
Among the many challenges he faced,
one stood out as the most important
and meaningful – learning to trust in
himself. Eric realized that when he
cultivated a solution-oriented mindset,
he could tackle any problem with grace
and ease. However, he shared a
difficult phase where his insecurities
and lack of emotional intelligence led
to significant consequences.
He recalled a time when his ego got in
the way, causing his entire team to quit
and clients to gradually drift away. The
root cause was Eric’s struggle to
manage his own insecurities and
emotions, preventing him from taking
full responsibility for his actions.
Instead, he would express
disappointment and anger towards
those who supported him within his
business. Eric recognized that this
behavior was not leadership; he needed
to learn to take ownership of his life
and stop blaming others.
His journey of growth and self-
discovery took him on a transformative
path, one that led him across the planet
“Twice” in search of the wisdom he
sought. Through this transformative
experience, Eric learned to trust in
himself, embrace emotional
intelligence, and take responsibility for
his actions. This personal and
professional growth allowed him to
evolve as a leader, better equipped to
face challenges with resilience and a
positive outlook.
Advice for Aspiring Entrepreneurs
As an experienced leader, Eric shares

Understanding
the Impactof
Influence on
and
Individuals
Society

Influence is an intriguing and pervasive force that
shapes human behavior, decisions, and,
ultimately, our society. From subtle gestures to
bold acts, the power of influence can be both
constructive and detrimental, leaving an indelible
mark on individuals and the collective community.
This article delves into the intricate dynamics of
influence, examining its various forms and exploring
how it molds our thoughts, actions, and values. By
grasping the nuances of influence, we can better
comprehend its potential for positive change and
cultivate a more conscious and empowered society.
The Essence of Influence
At its core, influence refers to the capacity of one
person or entity to affect the attitudes, beliefs, and
actions of others. It transcends boundaries and
manifests in numerous forms, from personal
interactions to the vast realms of media and
technology. Whether it is a persuasive speech, a
captivating advertisement, or the impact of role
models, influence holds the power to alter our
perspectives and inspire us to embrace new ideologies
and behaviors.
The Art of Persuasion
Persuasion, a fundamental aspect of influence, lies in
the art of presenting ideas or arguments in a
compelling manner. Skillful persuaders leverage
The Power of Influence
25

emotions, logic, and empathy to convince others of
their viewpoints. Understanding the psychology of
persuasion equips individuals with the tools to
critically assess the messages they encounter and
empowers them to make informed choices.
The Dark Side of Influence
While influence can be a force for good, it also carries
the potential for manipulation and exploitation.
Unethical use of influence can sway people into
making decisions that are not in their best interest,
leading to negative consequences at personal and
societal levels. Recognizing and safeguarding against
manipulative tactics is crucial to maintaining
individual autonomy and collective well-being.
Influence in the Digital Age
In the digital era, influence takes on new dimensions
through social media, online platforms, and
algorithms that curate content. The echo chambers of
cyberspace can reinforce biases and polarize society.
Understanding the mechanisms of digital influence is
vital in fostering an informed and inclusive virtual
community.
The Role of Influential Leaders
Influential leaders have the power to drive change on a
grand scale. Their actions, values, and vision can
inspire movements and shape history. Effective
leadership demands integrity, empathy, and a
commitment to serving the greater good. By
exemplifying ethical leadership, influential figures can
become catalysts for positive transformation.
Nurturing Positive Influence
Promoting positive influence involves creating an
environment that encourages critical thinking, open
dialogue, and empathy. Education plays a pivotal
role in fostering a society that is discerning,
compassionate, and socially responsible. By nurturing
critical thinking skills and media literacy, individuals
can resist misinformation and make well-informed
decisions.
Harnessing Influence for Social Impact
Influence is a potent tool for addressing societal
challenges. Advocacy campaigns, philanthropic
endeavors, and grassroots movements harness the
power of influence to raise awareness and drive
positive change. Empowered individuals can band
together to advocate for human rights, environmental
preservation, and social justice, thus amplifying their
impact.
Ethical Marketing and Advertising
In the realm of business, marketers and advertisers
wield significant influence over consumer behavior.
Responsible marketers recognize the importance of
ethics and transparency in their messaging. Ethical
marketing ensures that consumers are empowered to
make choices aligned with their values and needs
without succumbing to manipulative tactics.
The Ripple Effect of Influence
Influence does not exist in isolation; it ripples through
society, affecting diverse communities and future
generations. Recognizing our interconnectedness
enables us to be more conscious of the impact of our
choices and actions. By embracing empathy and social
responsibility, we can contribute to a collective wave
of positive influence that extends far beyond
individual boundaries.
Conclusion
The power of influence permeates every aspect of
human life, shaping our beliefs, decisions, and actions.
Understanding its intricacies empowers us to discern
between constructive and manipulative influences,
making informed choices that align with our values.
As individuals, we hold the potential to harness
influence for positive change, driving a more
inclusive, compassionate, and conscious society. By
recognizing our interconnectedness, we become active
agents of transformation with the power to shape a
better world for ourselves and future generations.

Revolutionizing Licensing Process for
International Physiotherapists!
tarting a new journey overseas can be
Sboth exciting and daunting. It brings
with it a plethora of new experiences,
challenges, and opportunities. This is
especially true for aspirant immigrants
trying to navigate the distinctions of a new culture,
country, and education system.
In the case of Dr. Kartik, the road to success was
far from easy. Driven by personal struggles and a
determination to make a difference, Kartik Shah,
Founder Director Trainer of In2Canada, has
embarked on a remarkable journey to revolutionize
the process of physiotherapy licensing for
international professionals. His vision has not only
transformed the lives of countless aspiring
physiotherapists but has also created a global
revolution in the field of education.
He embarked on his journey as an immigrant in
Canada, facing the daunting challenge of adapting
to a new culture, country, and education system. He
soon discovered that achieving success in his
desired field of physiotherapy was a demanding and
challenging task. Despite studying hard and taking
on part-time jobs, he was disheartened by the lack
of progress. The intricacies of comprehending the
physiotherapy licensing regulations in Canada and
the lengthy processes involved took a toll on his
aspirations.
After experiencing failures in the written
component and facing difficulties in the practical
examinations, Kartik had an epiphany. As he
contemplated the idea of finishing all the licensing
procedures in his country of origin, he realized that
doing so would not only make the journey easier
but would also remove the need for odd jobs to
make ends meet. Kartik came to a firm decision in
2017, recognizing the importance of founding a
platform for foreign physiotherapists to obtain
extensive support in becoming licensed
practitioners in Canada. And all of this could be
achieved from the comfort of their own countries.
With his unwavering determination, Kartik brought
his vision to life through In2Canada. It all began
Kar k Shah
Founder Director Trainer
In2Canada

with a modest concept to aid a few
physiotherapists in India, but it soon
evolved into a worldwide educational
revolution. In2Canada emerged as a
platform that not only granted access to
crucial resources but also offered
direction and assistance throughout the
licensing process. Now, foreign
physiotherapists can get ready for
licensing tests, obtain study materials,
and acquire mentorship from seasoned
experts, all from a distance.
In2Canada, spearheaded by Kartik
Shah, has had an exceptional impact in
the realm of physiotherapy. The
platform offers unparalleled support
and guidance to physiotherapists
worldwide, helping them surmount
geographical barriers and attain
licensure in Canada. This revolutionary
initiative has enabled numerous
individuals to achieve their
professional aspirations, with far-
reaching effects that extend beyond
their personal lives. Their success has
rippled out to benefit their
communities and contribute to the
global healthcare landscape.
Let us further explore the prodigious
odyssey of Kartik Shah!
Transforming the Path for
Physiotherapists
Kartik highlighted the challenges that
physiotherapists face when attempting
to enter Canada and how In2Canada is
addressing them. He explained that
becoming a licensed physiotherapist in
Canada requires a step-by-step
licensing process that typically takes
18–24 months. However, securing a
suitable job in Canada can prove
difficult. In2Canada streamlines this
process by providing a dedicated case
manager for each candidate who
guides them through every step of the
process. With the case manager’s
assistance, candidates can complete the
entire process within 6–8 months of
enrollment. Moreover, In2Canada
offers training and instruction on
exams and clinical skills in the
candidate’s home country, allowing
them to maintain their current job and
residence. Additionally, they provide
worldwide lectures to help
physiotherapists master the relevant
techniques and skills required in
Canada.
Comprehensive Training Program
In2Canada provides extensive training
to physiotherapists, encompassing both
the preparation for licensing exams and
the development of clinical skills
necessary for excelling in the
workplace. Additionally, they provide
on-site training to further enhance their
clinical experience.
The team focuses on online lectures
and equips students with
comprehensive study materials,
including notes, demo/mock exams,
and access to peer study groups
worldwide, ensuring their success.
Additionally, they offer international
certificate courses that enable
physiotherapists to refine and
streamline their skills.
Canadian Alliance of Physiotherapy
Regulators
Kartik highlighted the importance of
the Canadian Alliance of
Physiotherapy Regulators in the
registration process. He mentioned that
In2Canada is working with them and
that CAPR serves as the governing
body for physiotherapists who take the
pan-Canadian exams and international
credential physiotherapists. In2Canada
assists candidates in ensuring a smooth
and timely process of paperwork and
guides them through the different steps
efficiently, saving time, money, and
resources. Additionally, In2Canada
enables international candidates to pay
their fees in a reasonable amount of
time and at minimal expense on their
behalf to expedite their registration
process.
Hassle-free Immigration with
Certified Agents
In2Canada facilitates the immigration
process and collaborates with certified
Canadian government agents to
guarantee security and dependability.
In addition, they establish connections
between their clients and candidates to
ensure a seamless and stress-free
transition for those looking to change
their lifestyle, country, and career, all
through a single point of contact.
One piece of advice
that I would like to offer
is, Never Give Up. Yes,
this is the road less
traveled, but that is
exactly why it is
successful. If you are
going to sell coffee, be
the Starbucks of coffee,
and if you are selling
phones, be the iPhone.
And If you want to do
business, be the
In2Canada of Teaching
in a world full of clones.
Stand apart and know
your worth.

hospitals, clinics, care homes, and
private clinics. They are well-versed in
the laws and regulations of each
province, which they follow closely to
assist candidates in obtaining their
licenses, insurance, and job
placements. Moreover, they collaborate

comprehensive support to foreign
physiotherapists in obtaining their
licensing and employment
opportunities in one convenient
location. While some training
providers solely focus on exam
preparation, In2Canada’s suite of
services is exceptional and highly
valued by its clients.
Expert Advice for Success
International physiotherapists often
make the mistake of not conducting
sufficient research, which can lead to
misguided decisions. One such
decision is to opt for the student permit
route, which is not only expensive and
time-consuming but also does not add
any value to their credentials. The
organization invites them for a
personal interview or information
session where they can gain a better
understanding of the concepts and
secure a job in their field of expertise
in their home country. They guarantee
that this approach is quicker, more
accessible, and more cost-effective
than any other available option.
Secrets of Inventive Leadership
“An admonition that I would like to
proffer is to persist resolutely and
never capitulate. This may entail
traversing a path that is seldom
threaded, yet that is precisely why it
has been efficacious. When venturing
into the coffee industry, aspire to
become the Starbucks of coffee, and
when marketing phones, strive to
become the iPhone. Similarly, if your
objective is to engage in commerce,
endeavor to become the In2Canada of
education on a planet inundated with
duplicates. Distinguish yourself and
comprehend your true value,”
emphasized Kartik.

Join us as we delve deeper into the remarkable journey of
Nadiya Albishchenko!
Kindly brief our readers about yourself and your
professional journey so far.
I am a resilient and determined entrepreneur with a
remarkable journey. Brought up in a newly independent
Ukraine, my childhood was marked by adversity, including
domestic violence, separated parents, and ﬁnancial
constraints. At the age of 19, I began working to support my
education, realizing that earning opportunities were limited
in my country.
Despite my fear of venturing into unknown territories, I
embraced the belief that a ship is not built to stay at the
shore. This led me to Egypt at 23, where I worked tirelessly
to support my studies and family. As a Ukrainian woman in
a foreign land, I faced numerous challenges, including
stereotypes and even sexual harassment.
Undeterred, I persevered and seized opportunities in the
United Arab Emirates, working my way up and eventually
collaborating with renowned global leaders in the FMCG
industry. It was during this time in the food service sector
that I discovered the biased perception of Ukrainian women
and the negative image of Ukrainian products.
Motivated by this realization, I founded INAS EXIM, an
organization dedicated to elevating Ukrainian dairy
products to the same level as their European and Oceanic
counterparts. In parallel, my passion for preserving nature
and creating a sustainable future led me to participate in
initiatives like the Woman Talent competition and the
Mystique brand, which raise awareness about
environmental challenges and promote sustainable
practices.
38

In September 2022, I released my first business book,
“Synergy: A Synopsis of an Elite Business Partnership,”
which recounts my journey from an ordinary child to a
successful entrepreneur. This book delves into my
experiences in international trade, business management,
and the values that have shaped my career.
Please tell us about your company, its mission, and its
vision. What role did you play in furthering its
development and outreach?
INAS EXIM LLC is a company founded with a mission to
elevate Ukrainian produce to the Middle East and African
regions. Our vision today is to be a leading player in the
food industry. Consequently, the founder and leader of
INAS EXIM have played a pivotal role in shaping the
company’s development and outreach. By leveraging their
expertise in international trade, business management, and
networking, they have been instrumental in establishing
partnerships with leading distributors in the MENA region.
Overall, my role in furthering the development and
outreach of INAS EXIM has been centered on driving
growth, fostering partnerships, and promoting
sustainability. Additionally, by aligning our mission and
vision with my values, I have played a significant part in
shaping the company’s trajectory and positioning it as a
progressive and socially responsible player in the industry.
What was your inspiration to step into the industry that
you are now serving?
INAS EXIM was not born through inspiration but rather
from a dream held by a young girl. However, it was built
with determination, passion, commitment, discipline, and a
strong belief in its eventual realization. Despite facing
numerous challenges, years of hard work and focus have
resulted in INAS EXIM becoming an inspiration to many.
Please tell us about the products, services, and solutions
offered by your company. And how do they stand out in
the industry?
INAS stands for International Network for Achievable
Solutions, and we thrive to provide endless solutions for all
sectors in the food trade markets. Retail, HoReCa,
industrialized, and private label—we work for and with our
clients to provide seamless opportunities.
Tell our readers about the major challenges in your
career. And how they aided you in developing your
leadership skills.
The Russo-Ukrainian War posed a significant challenge to
my business, INAS ExIm LLC. To ensure survival, I
downsized the company and managed operations in the
UAE alone. Seeking alternative suppliers from Europe,
Canada, and beyond, I diversified our sources of goods.
Taking advantage of soaring energy prices in Ukraine, I
secured deals with new partners. While Ukraine resumed
exports, I maintained alternative options to ensure stability.
These challenges honed my leadership skills, demanding
quick thinking, strategic decision-making, and adaptability.
I learned the importance of analyzing situations, making
tough choices, and staying flexible in the face of
uncertainty. These experiences have been invaluable in
developing my abilities as a leader.
As an experienced leader, what advice would you like to
give to aspiring entrepreneurs and enthusiasts who wish
to venture into the industry that you are in?
My advice for entrepreneurs is to believe in themselves,
trust their abilities, and have confidence in their ideas. Take
the initiative, invest in yourself, and be willing to take risks.
Stay curious, network, and seek support. Be resilient, learn
from setbacks, and adapt. Surround yourself with positivity
and seek inspiration from successful entrepreneurs. Stay
educated, embrace continuous learning, and stay focused on
your goals. With passion, determination, and self-belief,
you can overcome challenges and achieve success.
39

I would also highly recommend reading my book Synergy:
A Synopsis of an Elite Business Partnership, which I have
authored along with a friend, an ally, and my business
partner.
Give us a few testimonials from your students or parents
and awards or recognition that accurately highlight

those seeking success in the business world. It offers
