Thankfully, my guest today, Senator Karen Sorensen, is also approachable, generous, and has a wit and sense of humour about her that makes everyone feel welcome in her presence. Fresh into her new appointment as one of Canada’s newest Senators, Karen’s story is one full of pivots that she has parlayed to create each new and exciting next step. With her life in Canada crossing East to West and back again, we discuss her multi-faceted career, including her path into politics, first local and then at the federal level. Karen shares valuable lessons for, and the importance of, cultivating strong relationships and community, both personally and professionally. And, why she states, “being the Mayor of Banff was the privilege of my life.”
