More than once, I've had high-level business and company folks "admit" to moving people up through the ranks into leadership and management roles without providing training to support them in these new positions.

It's never been clearer:

Anyone can have a leadership title/role - and yet not have a leadership bone in their body.

It's a skill that can be learned, though - yet requires a whole bunch of other (human) skills to do it well.

Masters Weekend. ⛳️⛳️⛳️

When you have a great day, and you're bone-and-brain tired...

And you still FEEL GOOD.

Love the work I get to do.

Had a great time attending the #TurningTides leadership conference today.

Inspirational. Motivating. Insightful. Moving. Actionable.

All the good things.

My speedometer turned over 200,000 km this afternoon on my way home from the city...with many more to add this month!

I keep telling my vehicle what a fantastic, reliable specimen she is...

Celebrated #IWD2025 at the Black Loyalist Heritage Centre yesterday.

Definitely a place I need to return to and learn from.

You have a business plan.

You have a marketing and branding strategy and a content plan.

You make sure standard operating procedures are in place.

Your HR policies are good to go in a handy employee handbook.

You have a solid sales strategy.

You know these are essential for success.

Have you ever had a moment of such clarity - such KNOWING - that you knew you could never go back?

What is it about a sunny March 1st that whispers:

"Get out the rakes and the shovels. The backyard needs you."

🌱🌻🍀

You very quickly gain clarity on what your priorities (business AND life) are when you're down-and-out with a crappy cold/flu bug.

Why do we forget that when we feel better? 🤔😅

Gotta love voice messages that have the person on the other end calling from their workplace saying they want to nominate you for a business award...💃💃💃

Happened to me this afternoon! Exciting!

Today in Nova Scotia, we’re honoring and celebrating Nora Bernard, a Mi'kmaq activist who fought hard for justice, recognition, and compensation for Residential School Survivors.

Slow, stormy, Sunday. ❄️🌨

Reading. 📚

Couch nap. 😴

Watching the Genesis Invitational. ⛳️

Life is good. 😊

Two years ago, I started writing a book.

I wrote over 50K words.

Then, for a variety of reasons, I didn't write anymore or do anything with it.

Now, this week, I printed off what I have and I'm refamiliarizing myself with it.

This is it's year!

Can't wait to dig into this book!

Have you read it?

While my brain keeps giving me subtle reminders that I could be doing so many (work) things today, I'm reading the second book in a fictional series I've had for a long time, but never finished.

And it FEELS GOOD.

Down-time is a worthwhile energy investment - it's going to be a busy week. 🎉

Brand-spanking new here - literally a minutes old profile. I'm usually a lurker first, but pffffftttt...it's 2025, let's change things up!

Who should I be following?
