There is a line from one of our favourite movies, “Hidden Figures” that I believe may be one of the best quotes ever! It’s delivered by Al Harrison, played by Kevin Costner. The movie itself is based on Margot Lee Shetterly’s book of the same name, and is the true story of three black women, […]

Caves Are For Bears Not Humans
I have never ordered a meal from “Skip The Dishes”, “Grub Hub”, “Uber Eats” or the disturbingly increasing number of these services. Okay, we get pizzas delivered and for a treat, Chinese Food. But before you call me a hypocrite, I’d like to point out what concerns me. The Internet promised a whole new world. […]

Had the great joy of joining my friend Jane Atkinson on her Podcast.
Workplace Diversity: Much More Than Politics
“Southeast Asian and Chinese companies with more women on their boards delivered better financial results then those dominated by men, according to a study by International Finance Corp.” Bloomberg News I live a fascinating profession. Yes, I said that correctly. I had a remarkable observation last week while […]
Oh Canada! I Choose To Celebrate!🇨🇦
I’m actually feeling extremely reflective today. Unless you live in a Canadian cave, hard to miss the extra celebration this July 1st for Canada’s 150th Birthday! Yep, in 1867, the nation of Canada became official. Not exactly the same place back then, thank god. In fact, I can vividly recall 1967 when we had the […]

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 […]
Merry Christmas! A Guest Blog By Darlene Law
I have blogged many times about my impatience with the “Politically Correct” and ironically, this time of year seems to add the spotlight to this topic because of the debate between ” Merry Christmas” and “Happy Holidays”. My wife and business partner, Darlene spent a fair amount of time and thought to write this short […]
Facebook Friends?
Today (November 17) is apparently “Official Un-Friend Day”. My “real friend” and colleague, Mike Kerr, posts the “Official Day” notification every day. Quite fascinating the “days” there are. I was going to write a Facebook post on this but it was getting too long so decided to blog about it. This is a fascinating subject […]
Hire A Pro!
I was recently a guest speaker at a fundraiser for a charity and with respect to the group, it will be anonymous for this blog. It was a hugely successful event and I was personally thrilled to hear that their total money raised in two programs in one day, a breakfast and a lunch, was […]
