 Melanie Nicholson welcomes Colby Delorme, president of the Imagination Group of Companies and co-founder of Influence Mentoring Society, into a conversation about Indigenous inclusion into business. Melanie and Colby discuss unifying Canada with Indigenous history and culture, how corporations can take the lead, and the differences between equity and equality. Colby Delorme has twenty-eight years of experience in business and, as a Metis person, a personal viewpoint on Indigeneity and inclusion. He addresses Truth and Reconciliation with the idea that many people think the truth part is over when all groups and people are at different stages of truth-telling and many are floundering on reconciliation. Colby and Melanie explore how corporations can include Indigenous people, communities, and businesses into company policies and procedures, how Canada as a whole is not unified and interested in its Indigenous history, and why none of us should wait for a government-led reconciliation effort. It’s an important, and ongoing, conversation that everyone should be part of.“I think Canada would be better positioned to do the work we're doing today if as a nation we were proud of our Indigenous heritage. I think the problem that we have is that in Canada we believe that we are a free country, we are a leader in the world of representing how good a country can be or is. And we haven't been honest with ourselves in understanding our own heritage and our own history and being able to come to grips with the fact that some of these atrocities that have occurred here, we actually taught other countries how to do it. And I think that has put this really difficult barrier in us being able to say, Well, who are we?” - Colby DelormeAbout Colby DelormeMr. Delorme has built multiple businesses and is currently president of Imagination Group of Companies.

Colby is passionate about creating new and sustainable opportunities in business for Indigenous peoples, and I am excited to dive into the theory behind incorporating Indigenous culture and learnings into a corporate culture with Colby. How does it work? Is it actually working and what can companies do to move their way forward into an Indigenous space?
