Who was your bestest boss? I am talking about the person you reported to for whom you would do anything. The one you took your best ideas to, the one for whom you did your best work. The one you trusted to have your back, to understand you. They always had time to show you […]
Apparently, we have a huge problem in business these days. The employee. Specifically the ones we can’t find or we can’t keep. This problem is not new. But it is getting worse. This seems a tad odd because, for the most part, businesses are still not at the pre-COVID level of employment. YET they face […]
I am quite taken with the terms before-times and after-times. As in pre and post-pandemic. This week, hubby and I took the car in for some work and decided to grab a Starbucks – as walk-in customers. The place was like a massive cavern because all of the usual 30 or so tables with chairs […]
Change is everywhere, and I am so glad you are on this journey with me. So far, I have shared with you that the world is FINALLY changing, how what the older generations have for too long supported is quickly crumbling, and what my definition of a real leader is. And how we must get […]
As a business owner, you are bombarded with aggressive, strong and ‘manly’ messages. You have heard all of them. “You gotta have a Plan.” “Push to your Goal.” “Stay focussed on your Vision.” Articulate your Why.” Honestly, it’s enough to make your head spin, isn’t it?

Do you ever wonder how to “create space”? I know I have! Who was it that said the best part about spring cleaning or regular purges was removing the dust, the clutter, and the too old and too broken? Now THAT is all about creating more space, right? Creating space in today’s crazy world is […]
Are you excited about the vaccination rollout? I am. Here in Canada, we’ll be in a ‘majority are vaccinated at least once’ situation very soon. Which means we can begin the reentry process into our new lives. I have been thinking about that reentry and imagine there will be several circumstances we have never encountered […]
I had a cable and connectivity scare this week and want to share with you some of the lessons learned. Especially if you work from home-–either as an entrepreneur, solo entrepreneur or even an employee, this is for you. My internet was down for the entire day NOTHING. No internet, no landline, no WiFi. NOTHING. […]
This year, my husband and I celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary. We have been legal for 35 and have known one another for nearly 40. Or, as he likes to say, Honey, I have been with you for more than half of my life. There is one trait my hubby has that I adore. He […]
