Creativity isn’t just about making art—it’s about navigating uncertainty, solving problems, and thriving in the face of change. I help innovators and entrepreneurs build mental fitness so they can do just that. Excited to explore and share on Bluesky!

When the American ports were closed to the "coffin ships" of Ireland, the port at Quebec welcomed the orphans of the famine.
It is why you see the Irish flag flying proudly to this day in Montreal and Quebec.
It is a bond that built our nation.

For innovation to flourish, organizations must create an environment that fosters creativity; bringing together multi-talented groups of people who work in close collaboration together — exchanging knowledge, ideas and shaping the direction of the future.

If this made-in-Canada tiny chip lives up to it's billing it will be a game-changer for electricity conversion. @dariussnieckus.bsky.social reports www.nationalobserver.com/2025/03/06/a...

Could a fob-size power chip supercharge solar energy — and everything else? One B.C. start-up thinks so

Vancouver-based Daanaa’s 'system on a chip' could make large-scale renewables projects cheaper and more efficient — and bring solar-powered cars closer to reality. The startup is seeking the first com...

Canadian here. Thanks for your support. It warms my heart to read all the comments. One warning for our adversaries: do not mistake our being nice with weakness.

Nice to meet you Stuart. I’m new to Bluesky and like many others arrived here after exiting from Twitter. Lately I’ve been caught up in politics but will get back to posting about creativity, mental health and well-being, and innovation. Thank you for considering me for your SPs. 🙏🙂

I recently participated in a children’s art project at the Vancouver Art Gallery. So nice to spend an hour painting and unplugging from the digital world for the day. Something I should do weekly.

Creativity thrives in uncertainty. When the future is unclear, creativity is a necessity.

🎭 Improvise & adapt
🔍 Stay curious
🤝 Collaborate with diverse minds
🎨 Make space for play & reflection

Uncertainty = opportunity. How do you stay creative when everything feels up in the air?

Are we all in Plato’s cave or does posting here make a difference, especially when everyone is in their own bubble. I genuinely would like to know. 🙏
