Affirmation, acceptance and adaptability with Ariana Shamsuddin

Students, New Grads, and Career Seekers, Welcome to #CoffeeWithConvery. This podcast is an intimate, upfront and personal coffee chat approach with some of the amazing and inspiring talent I have met over the years.

On today’s podcast, my guest is Ariana Shamsuddin.

Ariana is in high school attending the Terry Fox Secondary School and resides in Maple Ridge, British Columbia, Canada.

Ariana and I got connected through a very special person in both our lives, the one and only Sarah Wells. If you do not know Sarah Wells you should. Sarah is an Olympic hurdler and Pan Am Silver Medalist, an Amazing Race Canada participant and founder of her Believe Initiative founded fittingly on a message of resilience. Through 6 degrees of Sarah Wells, both Arian and I have been deeply involved in Sarah’s Believe Initiative. If interested, you can find more information on the Believe Initiative at believeinitiative.com.

Ariana is not just your average high school student, Ariana is a TEDx Speaker who recorded her first talk “Keys to Growth” as a Grade 11 student in June 2022 with the TEDxGleneagleSecondary. Ariana is the Believe Leadership Student Director and past Chapter Head of the Believe Leadership Course at Terry Fox Secondary. She was also Loran Scholar Semi Finalist this year. Founded in Toronto in 1988, the Loran Scholars Foundation is a national charitable organization awarding scholarships for students entering post-secondary in Canada.

I had the chance to sit down with Ariana to discuss Affirmation, acceptance and adaptability and I am happy to share our conversation with you, enjoy!
