Growing Pains: Honest Conversations with Canadian Women Founders

Every founder reaches a point where growth feels less like an opportunity and more like an obstacle.

Join The Osborne Group on November 18 at 12:00 PM EST for a candid conversation hosted by Osborne Principals Maryann Scandiffio and Jay Katz. Featuring Michelle Faber, Jenn Harper, and Suzie Yorke, three accomplished Canadian women founders from diverse industries and different stages of growth, this discussion will explore the realities, challenges, and lessons of scaling a business in Canada today.

This is not a polished success story or a PR-driven panel. It’s an honest conversation about what it really takes to scale a business in Canada today. From overcoming growth barriers and navigating uncertainty to making difficult decisions and staying resilient, our speakers will share the lessons they’ve learned building companies from the ground up.

These founders have experienced the challenges that every growing business eventually faces and found ways to move through them. Their insights are practical, credible, and applicable for anyone looking to grow their business.

Whether you’re just beginning your growth journey or managing the complexities of scaling an established business, you’ll leave with valuable perspectives, actionable advice, and the reassurance that you’re not alone in the challenges you face.

At The Osborne Group, we’ve spent decades helping organizations grow and navigate change. We know what good looks like at every stage — and we know how rarely founders get access to that kind of honest, experienced perspective in one room. Reserve your spot today and join the conversation.
