👋🏼 Hey Reader, I hope you’re finding ways to enjoy your summer! I’m getting ready for the Winnipeg Folkfest. It’s something I do every year - 18 of the last 52 anyway! Despite the rising temperatures, my excitement isn’t dampened because these are the four days in July that I wait for all year.

👋🏼 Hello Reader, Last week, I had the joy of spending quality time with my family as we celebrated my kiddo's transition from high school to university. It’s such an exciting time for us. Throughout the week, we encountered some pretty intense moments. Instead of trying to control everything or force outcomes, I asked a lot of questions, particularly, "What do you need right now that would make things a little easier?" This approach was invaluable, helping both overwhelmed grandparents and...

Hey Reader, Did you know my first job was yard maintenance? Oh yes. For several summers, my best friend and I went around town painting fences, weeding gardens, and cutting grass.

I have just as much passion for career development since starting my coaching and consulting business in 2018. It’s truly amazing that I get to connect with folks across the globe to equip them with the tools and...

👋🏼 Hey Reader, This week is a short week masquerading as a long week. It always happens that way. Where we're expecting ourselves to do 100% of the work in 80% of the time. So, it’s time to adjust what 100% looks like and that starts with setting expectations - for me and others around me. And in a short week, that means I kick up the prioritization a notch. I’m still committed to bringing you some small bits of great information in the world of work that I believe helps you redefine how...

👋🏼 Hello Reader, How’s your May going? Mine is flying by. It’s a good kind of flying as there are a lot of things I have going on.
