I was grateful to spend a week teaching and learning. It was an exceptional week working with along side people who I admire and had the opportunity of making mistakes with. Seeing that together, we are all going through the same things and that this work isn’t about perfection. It is an honour to be reminded of the mess and… Read more →
Friday ReFlections (but not on Friday) #FrF
Ok, so it was clearly bound to happen that I would fall off the wagon. I thought about it all day on Friday, what was I going to write about. What was I thinking? So much had happened and it was a good week and then of course life swooped in and said, “actually, I need your attention over here…”… Read more →
Friday reFlections #FrF Connectivity & Translation
Starting a tradition only works if you keep at it. It would have been easy to let this fall off the wagon this week, but here I am! I am going to push through this. This week has been super busy. By Monday evening I already felt like it had been a whole week’s worth of insight, connections and energy.… Read more →
Friday reFlections #FrF
It is Friday afternoon and I thought I would make up a new tradition. When I used to work in an office everyday, Fridays were the days when people mellowed out from the week’s grind. There were longer lunches, chats about what was happening on the weekend and things are winding down. Especially as the days are heating up, I… Read more →
Think Different.
I just discovered a really great quote. In 1997, Steve Jobs put it so eloquently. In posters for Apple, this quote completely resonates with me and I didn’t know they existed until now. Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond… Read more →
How to be a Shift Disturber?
Part innovator. Part entrepreneur. Part rebel. Partly undefined. A shift disturber is really about making changes, shaking things up, provoking a reaction, creating a dialogue, venturing out to the fringes and doing a lonely little dance. Since the term was first coined, there are a few of us who have been tossing the term around and testing out the shift disturbing spectrum.… Read more →

While you were being enlightened…
For 10 days you were peacefully contemplating life, absorbing the purest form of mindfulness and reflecting on thoughts that passed in and out of your mind’s eye, getting to the big “E”. While you were being enlightened I reflected on why I would never want to go on a 10 day silent meditation retreat. Before you left we talked about… Read more →
Feeling Scattered
As summer comes to a close, there is an emergence of people trying to fit in meetings. I love meetings and meeting new people, so a day of 5 meetings is a good day in my books. So on this day, I was especially excited to not only have 5 meetings but then a birthday dinner, a concert in the… Read more →
When the power goes out
You can’t always predict when it’s coming or how long it will last, sometimes just before it happens there is a flicker. It is like you blinked a little longer than usual and before you know it, the power is out. And you are left wondering what happened and what to do next. You can no longer rely on your… Read more →
