North Vancouver's Claire Yeung will be guiding an interactive workshop and giving the keynote address at the upcoming Multicultural Women's Conference and Fair Thursday, March 31 in Vancouver.

The inaugural event is bringing together multicultural and immigrant women from the local area for a day of empowerment and possibilities, according to a press release.

The free event is being presented by Canadian Immigrant magazine as a way to enhance opportunities for newcomers and multicultural women alike. It is also intended to provide a chance for refugee women to come out and connect with others in their new city.

Yeung is an author and life coach who immigrated to Canada at the age of six. Her motivational workshop, Become the Heroine of Your Own Story, is hoped to help attendees articulate what is important to them, how to bring balance to the various aspects of their lives and assist in empowering them to create the life they truly want to live.

Yeung was a successful attorney for more than two decades until a health crisis three years ago led to a career change. Since then she has become a certified Whole

Person Coach, and penned The Eighty-Year Rule, a guidebook for anyone wanting to create a new life from where they are today.

Yeung states in the release that she's pleased to offer this interactive and fun workshop focused on work/life balance, since for so many women that's part of a larger puzzle. Bringing balance to various aspects of your life, knowing what you want to accomplish and taking the first steps to accomplishing your goals is key to career success and personal empowerment in work and life, she adds.

The Multicultural Women's Conference and Fair comes from a holistic perspective and was designed to touch on everything from career success to community involvement, to parenting, to health and home buying. The event aims to provide a space where women can get advice and inspiration to help them achieve their personal and professional goals.

In between sessions, attendees can peruse the trade show of exhibitors from the social services, educational and employment sectors (including some hiring employers). In addition, they can receive one-on-one advice at several "Ask the Expert" clinics. Admission is free, and all speaking sessions are on a first-come, first-served basis. Attendees are advised to register at canadianimmigrant.ca/womensfair.

The event will be held at the Croatian Cultural Centre from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
