#SAITfaces: Jennie Gilbert

“For so long, we have set change up to be a big hairy monster. Change doesn't have to be scary."

SAIT is leaders, innovators, entrepreneurs, community builders, originals.

Meet our #SAITfaces

If you’ve met Jennie Gilbert #hereatSAIT, lucky you! 🙂

A double threat as a continuing education and corporate training instructor, Jennie is an expert in all things 21st-century skills — collaboration, psychological safety, leadership, resilience and the like. Basically, everything you need to succeed, especially in the new and next normal.

“For so long, we have set change up to be a big hairy monster. Change doesn't have to be scary. Know that it's coming, understand what’s in your control, be ready for it and take it all step-by-step.”

A dynamic and compassionate professional whose background spans two continents, four career paths (including mom to a family of five) and a wide range of experiences within the corporate world, Jennie’s classes are relatable, fun and engaging.

“The best part of my job is the people. Plus, no two days are the same. Creativity and innovation are expected, and I don’t have to live by a title or label.”

In 2019, Jennie received SAIT’s ‘Original’ Star Award — an award for a SAIT employee whose unique approach in their work enhances SAIT’s brand through their innovation and best-in-class solutions — an obvious winner to us! ✨

a view of the moutains and stream in between

Oki, Âba wathtech, Danit'ada, Tawnshi, Hello.

SAIT is located on the traditional territories of the Niitsitapi (Blackfoot) and the people of Treaty 7 which includes the Siksika, the Piikani, the Kainai, the Tsuut’ina and the Îyârhe Nakoda of Bearspaw, Chiniki and Goodstoney.

We are situated in an area the Blackfoot tribes traditionally called Moh’kinsstis, where the Bow River meets the Elbow River. We now call it the city of Calgary, which is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta, Region 3.
