About Our Speaker
Lindsey Schultz
CEO, MRC Recruiting
Lindsey Schultz is the CEO of MRC Recruiting, a firm that specializes in connecting top talent with premier companies in the mining sector. With a strong background in strategic recruitment and a passion for building meaningful relationships, Lindsey is dedicated to understanding the dynamic landscape of the industry.
Her role enables her to travel extensively, engage with industry leaders, and stay at the forefront of emerging trends that influence the future of mining. Despite facing impostor syndrome herself after choosing a career as a mining recruiter—recognizing she wasn't male, wasn't an engineer or deeply technical, and didn't have over 20 years of experience—Lindsey has turned these challenges into a platform for advocacy.
She is deeply committed to empowering women in the workforce, mentoring candidates, boosting their confidence, and helping them overcome similar feelings of doubt. Her expertise and personal journey not only make her a leader in recruitment but also an advocate for women aiming to excel in male-dominated industries.

Event Details
Many of our WIMDI members work in highly-compensated industries and have financial privilege. Many of us also have financial privilege that is created by or directly tied to colonial injustice (eg: those of us who own homes on indigenous land).
We recognize that not all of our WIMDI members are in stable financial positions and that many rely on free tickets. We are passionate about keeping WIMDI accessible to everyone, regardless of financial position. We have a "Free" ticket category at this event for those who need it, but we encourage any member with financial stability to choose a paid ticket and participate in supporting Indigenous women.
Our events are interactive and will require your attention and input throughout the course of the event. We'll take several bio breaks throughout this event.
- 5:30 pm - The event starts with mingling, socializing, and small-group networking. We recommend putting your webcam on* (even if you've already transitioned to work-is-over-dress-like-a-slob mode) to help you make the strongest possible connections with your new WIMDI friends!
- 5:45 pm - The workshop starts! This talk will contain interactive elements, question prompts for you to complete, or other activities that make multi-tasking difficult.
- Get out your notepad and prepare to soak up some knowledge.
This event is live-only and a recording will not be distributed after the fact. We'll email you the login info for the Zoom meeting before the start of the event.
