Failure is a ruthless teacher. It doesn’t coddle, doesn’t ask for permission, and certainly doesn’t arrive at a convenient time. Yet, for all its brutality, failure is a master sculptor.

Leadership in Crisis: Hope is Not a Strategy
Lately, Canada has been spending a lot of time bracing for impact, caught in the gravitational pull of America's turbulence.

I See You. Take Your Time.
We move too fast. Not just in how we rush through our days, but in how we expect things from others - quick responses, immediate results, instant understanding.

The Vanishing Act of a Life Well-Lived

I’ve always believed that Canada is a country of builders. We don’t always make a big deal about it, but we have this quiet, determined way of solving problems. We innovate, we adapt, and we find workarounds when things don’t go as planned. But for all that resourcefulness, we don’t seem to own … [Read more...]
You Can’t Pour From an Empty Cup: Why Taking Care of Yourself Comes First
I’ve always believed that taking care of others is a core part of being human. Whether it’s leading a team, supporting a friend, or even just showing up for your family, giving your energy to those you care about feels right. But here's the thing I’ve come to realize in my own life: you can't … [Read more...]
The Quiet Confidence of a Country That Doesn’t Need to Be the Greatest
I’ve never understood the obsession some countries have with declaring themselves the greatest. It’s as if the louder you say it, the more true it becomes. But real greatness doesn’t need a microphone. It doesn’t have to be shouted from rooftops or woven into political speeches. It isn’t … [Read more...]
