In a recent interview with The Washington Post, Hoss Zaouali shared his perspective on how technology is reshaping the way we learn, work, and lead. While he and the Voilà Learning team are recognized as Canadian pioneers in EdTech, he closed the conversation with a powerful reminder for executives and decision-makers:
“Nothing will beat the handshake.”
That’s why Hoss and his team are taking their work offline and hitting the road. Across Canada, they are meeting with Ministries of Education, school boards, teachers, parents, and administrators—in person. This cross-country initiative, proudly funded by the Government of Canada, is designed to give education leaders the tools and confidence to thrive in an AI-driven world.
For leaders in business and public service alike, the message is clear: digital transformation must go hand in hand with human connection. Voilà Learning builds ultra-collaborative virtual classrooms for language learning, but believes that authentic, face-to-face dialogue is where trust and strategy truly take root. This is particularly timely as U.S. tariffs highlight the strategic importance of investing in Canadian-made solutions.
Thanks to a major federal grant, this national initiative will deliver practical workshops on:
- The real impact of AI on organizations and education
- How to leverage AI tools effectively without losing the human element
- Leadership strategies to save time, boost productivity, and strengthen collaboration
By engaging communities directly, Voilà Learning ensures that leaders and managers at every level walk away not just with ideas, but with actionable strategies to drive performance in an AI-enabled future.
See you in Edmonton. Let’s build the future—hand in hand.
