Episode Synopsis

In this episode of Tune Up Your Warrior, host Jenny Chen sits down with Aki Temiseva, President and CEO of the United Nations Association in Canada, to explore the global talent crisis—through a systems lens, not a diversity checkbox.With over two decades of leadership experience spanning four continents and organizations like World Vision and Right To Play, Aki brings a powerful global perspective on workforce development, inclusion, and international collaboration. Born in Finland and raised in Zambia, he now champions equity and peacebuilding through Canadian diplomacy and global partnerships.Together, they unpack why outdated systems—not a lack of talent—are the real crisis, how global models are leading where North America is lagging, and why allyship means using privilege to open doors for others.This conversation is a masterclass in quiet, grounded leadership—and a powerful call to reimagine what inclusive, sustainable systems could look like for the next generation.To find out more about Aki and the United Nations Association of Canada, visit www.unac.org.
