Equity, Diversity & Inclusion Associate

Chantoy Williams is the Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Strategic Advisor for Médecins sans frontières (MSF)/ Doctors Without Borders Canada, where she works to help MSF progress towards refining and implementing an MSF Canada EDI vision that fosters a safe workplace-community in which all individuals are valued, empowered to use their voice for its social mission, and where they can develop a strong sense of belonging.

Prior to her work in the non-profit EDI space, she worked for the Ontario Public Service in the Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services, where she worked as a Senior Policy Analyst in the Advocate for Community Opportunities Secretariat, as part of the Youth Strategies Branch. In her policy research and analysis, she worked to uncover issues affecting marginalized communities, and develop recommendations on opportunities for engagement and support. Her work contributed to establishing an advisory group focused on supporting young people, especially those in marginalized communities, to bring solutions to help overcome social and economic barriers, exacerbated by the pandemic. She was a key member in the communication strategies with stakeholders, networks, and community partners for the Black Youth Action Plan, resulting in a significant funding increase.

Chantoy holds an Honours Bachelor of Arts in Law & Society, and Philosophy, and is currently working towards a Canadian Certified Inclusion Professional designation where she plans to use the competencies gained to continue to fulfill her passion of promoting change, advancing diversity and inclusion, encouraging community engagement, and designing inclusive solutions for stakeholders and partners.

Executive Coach Associate

Chris Alder, Executive Coach and Facilitator, has been working globally with executives and senior leaders for the past 12 years across a whole wide range of industries. He is passionate about helping leaders move beyond their current perspective and reality and transform themselves and their leadership in order to better navigate the complexities of the ever-changing business world.

He completed his coaching studies with Integral Coaching Canada in their Master Coaching program and went on to train as a senior faculty member with them in 2015 where he now teaches their ICF-accredited program in Europe and Canada. This deeply transformative coaching approach is based on some of the latest theories from Harvard developmental psychologist Robert Kegan and Integral theorist Ken Wilber, and drills deeply into hidden assumptions and beliefs that limit clients’ ability to thrive and grow.

This supports his own development and continued growth as a coach while inspiring and informing his coaching work with his clients. Originally from the Isle of Wight in England, he now lives in the hills of Scotland with his wife and daughter.
