Beginning her career in the financial services sector, she earned success quickly and was given early opportunities for advancement as well as high-profile leadership training. But despite a fierce work ethic and excellent track record of success, after several years in the corporate world, Caroline hit what she describes as a cement ceiling. \u201cIt was more than a glass ceiling because, with glass, you can see what&#8217;s going on above you,&#8221; she says, indicating that she had no clarity into if or how she could move to the next level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finding herself without access to advancement opportunities, Caroline decided to take on a new challenge. \u201cI decided to concurrently start teaching for the post-secondary sector,&#8221; she says. \u201cIt was part-time, a hobby really. The pay was so low it barely covered the parking \u2013 but that wasn&#8217;t the point. I remember thinking that this role was opening a door to something that was bigger for me \u2014 I just didn&#8217;t know how it was all going to fit.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While still in industry in a senior executive role, Caroline taught, on an adjunct basis, for the next three years. Her student evaluations were very strong, and she thrived in her role as an educator. She launched a side business in 2010 \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdnhr.com\/\" data-dig-id=\"LP-57419-a1315bce\" data-dig-category=\"LP\" data-dig-action=\"link click\" data-dig-label=\"Canadian HR Solutions\" class=\"rbc-link-format\">Canadian HR Solutions<\/a>, Inc. (CHRS). At the same time, she earned a second master&#8217;s degree, this time in Adult Education, and decided to transition out of the corporate world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI looked at the whole situation and what I was experiencing,&#8221; she says. \u201cIt became clear to me that I needed to make a change and the world of workplace learning and higher education felt like the right fit.&#8221; She took a role as Associate Program Director at Ryerson University and moved on to take an academic chairship position at another institution, which gave her an opportunity to take the reins in academic administration roles in multiple public post-secondary institutions. \u201cThis is where I learned how educational businesses are built and run,&#8221; she says. \u201cEducational services are one thing and educational institutions are another. They go together but they are not the same thing.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b><i>\u201cNo one was going to take the kind of bet on me that I needed to take on myself.&#8221;<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At this point, Caroline evaluated her options. She could take on the position of a CEO of a college or university, pursue full-time professorship, go back into corporate \u2026 or do something completely different. \u201cAs I wondered what to do, it became clear to me that no one was going to take the kind of bet on me that I needed to take on myself. Hand in hand with that, I realized that no one was going to pay me my worth.&#8221; And with that realization, and five years of her side hustle behind her, Caroline decided to take the full leap to entrepreneurship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Caroline had been teaching off and on for nine years, all while working in the corporate sector. She had a long list of teachables under her belt, at all levels \u2014 from certificate and diploma levels to post-graduate and MBA instruction. She had been called upon to be a Subject Matter Expert in curriculum development and program development and was also called upon to be a consultant with provincial governments to help develop and execute on their Talent Acquisition strategies. As she assessed her business prospects, however, it occurred to Caroline that she needed to change her audience to the professional market given the revenue opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI remember taking a two-day training course on entrepreneurship,&#8221; she says. \u201cI walked into the room and started counting the number of people in the audience. Knowing how much the instructor was charging, I did the math and realized how much they would make over the two days. When I launched our first programming under the Canadian HR Solutions, Inc. (CHRS) umbrella, it was in a similar logistical format.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That year, Caroline started with one offering and soon found ways to add other courses and package them in order to add greater value to participants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Expanding her business with offerings and locations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A few years into running her business, Caroline determined that there was an opening for sensitivity training in Canada based on her many years in the workplace. \u201cBased on legislative, Human Rights, societal, and workplace changes, I could just tell there was going to be a need,&#8221; she recalls. \u201cOur goal is to create workplaces that are psychologically safe, and from my own experience in professional settings over the years, there have been a few experiences where I didn&#8217;t always feel safe.&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sensitivitytrainingcanada.com\/\" data-dig-id=\"LP-57419-7c11b90c\" data-dig-category=\"LP\" data-dig-action=\"link click\" data-dig-label=\"Sensitivity Training Canada\" class=\"rbc-link-format\">Sensitivity Training Canada<\/a> became a new business under the Canadian HR Solutions, Inc. (CHRS) parent brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A tech-forward approach pays off<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>From the start, Caroline had introduced a technology channel and delivered live web workshops to her clients. This approach enabled her to push her footprint across the country, as clients had the choice of doing a live web course or having a local facilitator work with them if they preferred in-person learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When COVID hit in 2020, Caroline found that her early investment in technology gave her the option to seize the opportunity ahead of her. \u201cIt occurred to me that the world was now online like never before. I created <a href=\"https:\/\/wwlrn.com\/\" data-dig-id=\"LP-57419-1730bc30\" data-dig-category=\"LP\" data-dig-action=\"link click\" data-dig-label=\"Worldwide Workplace Learning\" class=\"rbc-link-format\">Worldwide Workplace Learning<\/a>, a new business under Canadian HR Solutions, Inc. (CHRS).&#8221; Worldwide Workplace learning is a repository of online, self-directed courses, carried in three languages \u2013 English, French and Spanish. With audiences around the world, Worldwide Workplace Learning enables anyone from anywhere in the to choose a program, course or workshop, purchase it, and complete it online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Creating a community<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Caroline&#8217;s third business under the Canadian HR Solutions, Inc. banner is the <a href=\"https:\/\/canadianhracademy.com\/\" data-dig-id=\"LP-57419-e2f82562\" data-dig-category=\"LP\" data-dig-action=\"link click\" data-dig-label=\"Canadian HR Academy\" class=\"rbc-link-format\">Canadian HR Academy<\/a>, which offers professional development courses and programs to professionals who work in the HR space, enabling them to accelerate their careers. Its flagship program \u2014 the Certified Talent Management Practitioner Program (CTMP) \u2014 is the first of its kind in Canada and has been extraordinarily popular. \u201cIt occurred to me in 2020 that we had so many people go through this flagship program there was an opportunity to mobilize that community,&#8221; says Caroline. \u201cWhen COVID hit a lot of people were thinking about retooling. So I launched The <a href=\"https:\/\/ctmpca-society.mn.co\/landing?from=https%3A%2F%2Fctmpca-society.mn.co%2Ffeed\" data-dig-id=\"LP-57419-660ecac1\" data-dig-category=\"LP\" data-dig-action=\"link click\" data-dig-label=\"CTMP Society of Canada\" class=\"rbc-link-format\">CTMP Society of Canada<\/a> and built an exclusive platform for us. We now have a membership base of people who have taken this particular credential with us.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through The CTMP Society of Canada, there is professional development programming available, as well as boot camps and a National Talent Management Summit, which is held biennially.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Making workplaces better in Canada<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When asked what sets Canadian HR Solutions, Inc. (CHRS) \u2014 and the brands beneath it \u2014 stand out in the market, Caroline answers that their selling proposition is simple: We help make workplaces in Canada better. They do this in two ways. First, by working with leaders, training them how to support their culture so that people can feel safe and do their best work. Second, they work with employees to help advance their careers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe make workplaces in Canada better. That&#8217;s our reason for existence. It&#8217;s why I started my business,&#8221; Caroline says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Caroline Power&#8217;s success has been built on a foundation of hard work, the foresight to seize opportunities and the courage to follow her instincts. She also has tremendous energy and passion for her work. \u201cI love what I do,&#8221; she says. \u201cEven when it&#8217;s a 15-hour day \u2014 which is most days \u2014 I&#8217;m pumped. I am pumped because I get to do this. I&#8217;m pumped because I&#8217;m doing it for me and because I am helping other people find their way.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-rbc-rbc-default-collapsible\"><p><button class=\"collapse-toggle collapsed\" data-target=\"#collapse834a1009\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"collapse834a1009\" data-dig-id=\"LP-57738-834a1009\" data-dig-category=\"LP\" data-dig-action=\"accordion closed\" action-closed=\"accordion closed\" action-opened=\"accordion open\" data-dig-label=\"Things our lawyers want you to know\"><span>Things our lawyers want you to know<\/span><span>Things our lawyers want you to know<\/span><\/button><\/p><div class=\"collapse-content collapse\" id=\"collapse834a1009\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-rbc-collapsible-inner-block collapse-inner\">\n<p>This article is intended as general information only and is not to be relied upon as constituting legal, financial or other professional advice.
