If I think back to all the times I wish I said something in a meeting, to a friend, to a family member, I’d tell you what I said! Not always easy, admittedly not always with tact and grace (I blame the Italian in me 😉) but I said it. There was a time where my confidence was lacking, and […]

The ‘Compassionate Leader.’ The leader that has a vision, invests in their people and knows how to take an organization to the next level with people at its core. Better yet, by creating a people-first culture. With the pace, our world is moving at and the ever-changing world of business, training and L&D initiatives (learning and development) is a go-to […]

We are back from hopefully a restful and enjoyable holiday and 2020 has been getting so much buzz since we are entering a new decade.

Have you ever made a bad career decision and later realized, “what was I thinking?” Well, there was a point in time I thought these kinds of decisions often happened in the form of career moves when moving from one company to the next.

When we’re first learning something, over time and with experience we’re expected to get ‘better.’ Practice makes perfect as they say. Yet we’re bound to develop bad habits and blind spots. Whether it’s driving, playing a sport or riding a bike. We let some of the ‘best practices’ we’ve learned fall through the cracks. Not because we’re trying to be […]

This past week I attended a mentoring event held by NEW where we discussed diversity in a multi-generational workforce. Such an important topic since by 2020, 50% of the global workforce will be made up of Millennials aka Gen Y. These conversations have been percolating slowly but surely, and it’s clear that identifying ways of working together and adapting to […]

Leadership is one of my favourite topics to discuss and write about and one that has many definitions and perspectives. Thought leaders such as Simon Sinek, Brené Brown and Tony Robbins to name a few have all shared their definition of what leadership is and in some cases (not always) it’s influenced by personal experience good or bad.
