On the 28th of May (last Saturday), I had a fascinating day. Let me re-phrase that. Most of my working days as a speaker are fascinating as every group has its own personality but this blog is about a gig in my hometown of Yorkton, Saskatchewan. It’s a place that most people have never heard […]

Diversity…Yes, This Again!
It has been a while since I posted a new blog and I offer no excuse as you could probably care less, although I’d love to think you do! I have had a fascinating couple of weeks and here I go being Canadian again…sorry if this sounds like boasting. Darlene and I (The life and […]
The Complexity Of Diversity
I sometimes struggle with this blog. If you have been following it for a while, you’d know that I went through a “Ranting Phase” and it was exactly that…a rant, which of course is never “positive”! The trouble is, of course, always being “positive” can appear to be contrived and an avoidance of the negativity […]
Why So Mad?
There’s a psychic/medium, Danielle Egnew who posted a blog recently about Donald Trump. If you want to find it, it’s from a site called “Call To Light Press” and I have never heard of it or her. The tag line for the article is “Why Donald Trump is the best thing to ever happen to […]
Workplace Health Hacks
How’s Your Attitude? It’s a good question, really. There is a slight problem though. What is Attitude? I know, deeeeep question? But seriously. Attitude isn’t just how we approach life. There are some practices that can provide fuel for the fire that for some people may be burning a bit low. I was privileged to […]
Happy Anniversary…To Me!
I truly meant to write this sooner but I have actually been waffling a bit. So much to write about, so little time! There’s Chris Rock at the Oscars and him slamming the whiny ones about lack of colour at the Academy Awards! There’s the shocking political race in the U.S. where I’m waiting for […]
Be A Giver…Not A Taker
This blog is going to sound self-serving and I want to begin by stating, today that is not my intention, never is. I am a professional speaker who has always had a goal to better society, not brag about how amazing I am. Today, I am basking in a human glow. My wife and business […]
Device Addiction…Time For Rehab!
My wife and business partner, Darlene, were just on a ten day excursion that took us to our beloved Antigua (in the Caribbean) for R&R and an awesome gig in Orlando on the Disneyworld property! My point? I have decided that way too many people are addicted to their devices and it’s time for some […]
Prejudice…The Choice
In our house, we say “There are no coincidences”, yet last night it seemed like one to me. In the span of one minute, and by complete chance on my part, I was watching some television last evening when a news promo for a Seattle TV Station briefly mentioned how upset some people are about […]
David Bowie…The Imprint!
I try to avoid jumping on “bandwagons” since having no arms, it would be unsafe, but seriously, today, I want to write about something that “everyone” who was touched by David Bowie is posting…their feelings about the loss of such a profoundly complicated human being. In fact, let’s remember he “was” human. Those who didn’t […]
