Women in Power: Urmi Hossain – Career Journeys, Leadership & The Power of Mentorship

In this episode of Women in Power, I sit down with Urmi Hosain, a financial sector professional, self-published author, speaker, YouTuber, podcaster and mentor based in Montreal, Canada.

We take a Q&A approach to explore Urmi’s journey, from growing up in Italy with Bangladeshi parents and navigating her cultural identity to her university experience in Montreal and the challenges of securing her first graduate job.

We discuss her career journey, the importance of building a personal brand, developing professional skills and making connections when entering the workplace.

Urmi also shares her work with Women in Leadership, where she leads the Montreal chapter, supporting and empowering women through leadership development, networking and mentorship opportunities.

Throughout our conversation, we explore the importance of having a mentor, working collaboratively with men, balancing career and personal life and staying grounded through exercise and self-care.

We also discuss her biggest inspiration, Meghan Markle, her advice to the next generation entering their careers and why she believes in trusting the process.

Join us for an honest conversation about identity, career development, leadership, mentorship and inspiring the next generation of women to recognise their potential.
