\nKelly Lendsay\n
Kelly Lendsay is the President & CEO of the Aboriginal Human Resources Council. He also leads its\xa0sister organization, Kocihta. In this episode of the podcast, we discuss the work of the council and Kochihta. The council helps create demand from companies to hire Native employees. Kocihta helps create the supply of these workers.

\n\nKelly\u2019s work goes\xa0beyond Canada. We discuss his efforts to build relationships in the U.S., Australia and beyond. He expects\xa0Kocihta\u2019s impact to be global in the next five years. The council\u2019s work along with Kocihta\u2019s work is exciting.\xa0Can the U.S. adopt a similar model?
\nWe also discuss mentorships. These relationships are so important. This topic warrants its own post.\xa0But Kelly offers great advice about surrounding oneself with mentors.
\nIt was awesome to interview Kelly Lendsay. My interview with\xa0Ambassador Harperwas\xa0technically\xa0international. He spoke from his post in Geneva Switzerland. But the Ambassador is a U.S. citizen. Kelly Lendsay hails from Canada. I am excited to connect with a brother from the North to share ideas on the podcast.
\nOverall, this episode continues to confirm why I started the podcast. There are NextGen Natives taking action everywhere. The more we can connect people, share ideas and incite action the better!
