Setting Your Vision for 2021
Happy New Year! 2020 has been a year like no other. Many of us experienced challenges, setbacks and uncertainty. If 2020 has taught us one thing, it’s to slow down and focus on what matters most. And, no matter what you’ve experienced this past year, you made it through and now, it’s time to start…
Leading and Living Using a Values-Based Approach
One of my favourite authors is Stephen Covey. He is the master when it comes to helping you identify your values and live your life from that perspective.

Staying Positive in Challenging Times
There’s no denying that the world today is different. Some say we are living in an Age of Fear. For myself, I like to stay abreast of what’s happening in the news and world around me, but I’ve actually gotten to the point where I’m afraid to turn on the news. I don’t want to…
Taking Yourself and Your Business/Career to the Next Level
At the very core of our being is who we are as a leader. Without knowing what’s important to us, what we stand for, and what our purpose is, we cannot expect to lead our lives, our businesses, our careers, or others. If we truly want to be successful as a leader, we must realize…
How Well Do You Know Yourself?
This question may sound silly but I challenge you to really think about this. Too often we think we know ourselves well only to find out, others see us completely different. More importantly, we often try to hide or compensate for our challenges, again, only to find out that others see right through our disguise. So how…
