Guest Speaker

We are excited that Dilnaz Waraich will be joining this retreat and conducting a workshop for our group.

Topic: Women and Transitions

Research shows ninety percent of women stated that they ‘expect to transition’ within the next five years. Rather than be frustrated, learn tools to go through the transitions and how this can be a rewarding and healthy time in your life. Women and Transition takes a deep dive into triggers, decisions, barriers and action steps to have a healthy transition.

Dilnaz Waraich is an educator with over 23 years of experience in gifted and culturally competent classrooms from preschool through college. She is passionate about creatively inspiring people to understand themselves through their past experiences with Envision Education Strategist. Her coaching helps the three key stakeholders invested in schools to find solutions in building stronger relationships while understanding cultural competency. She is also invested in interfaith work at Muslim Community Center, Catholic Theological Union and Chicago Theological Seminary. Dilnaz has her M.Ed. from Northwestern University and B.S. from Loyola University.
