A year ago today was my dad’s last good day on earth. A year ago tomorrow he will have fallen and broken his hip — beginning the very final beginning of the end. But on this day, one year ago, Dad was out exploring our town with my lovely cousin Sylvi…lnkd.in/gF9yrpNF

A funny thing happened on the way to the airport today. And it reminded me of how important it is to know where we’re going — if not before we set out on our journey, at least along the way. I generically put “Pearson Airport” into my #waze app this mor…lnkd.in/gkPxiZ8v

I loved this podcast episode @MichelleGoulds2 and @schneider_j. Such great content and insights. I hadn’t listened to the Punk Rock HR Podcast before but I’m a new fan! lnkd.in/gBNZAJAS

Excited that my #MakeWorkBetter book (amzn.to/3nulZ78) by @ddennerline and Jamie Aitken has arrived. It’s a book about the great things that happen when the business leaders partner with HR. Filled with front line insights from Google, Intuit, P…lnkd.in/gAJeEM-T

This one hits very close to home. And I know of so many others who are struggling with their kids’ mental health issues. I am so proud of my friend, @kMtab, for sharing her story. And I echo her words: “If you need a shoulder or an ear, I am here.” #m…lnkd.in/grAc6xCu

Ten days after my dad’s death (from #terminal liver disease, followed by an unrecoverable broken hip), I wrote: “How will I know when I’m back to being me — or at least some new version of me that I like?” (bit.ly/3Ni3uNH) This was in respons…lnkd.in/gSRXtXHC

As I head down the road at 5:30 AM this morning, to start the long trip to Las Vegas, I’m hit by a number of thoughts: 1) it has been several years now since I’ve been a steady business traveler. It’s amazing how you FORGET! I used to have what was essen…lnkd.in/grkCdx2C

This is the least inclusive post that I have seen on a long time. And if this “test” to determine the stamina needed for the job was truly thought up by the CEO then I can confidently say that David Solomon is out of touch with what success in business re…lnkd.in/g-YTA9-7

I thought I would share this little video clip for anyone who might relate to the realities of a couple working from home with only one office in the house. If you are like Dave and me, I’d love to hear who gets the office and who gets to work “elsewher…lnkd.in/gC795b7j

In my coaching practice, I work with executives with a variety of mindsets. Those who have made it to the C-suite display a majority of the six mindsets that corporate psychologists believe are crucial to success: Growth (versus Fixed); Self-determinati…lnkd.in/g77r_RmU

My own recent experience with a "life shift", created the need in me to help others who might be experiencing something similar. And that is what the Susan Squared (susansquared.com) podcast is really all about. Helping others make sense of their…lnkd.in/gV3wHXK6

This is an interesting survey that Betterworks is running. Not a lot of votes in yet but I look forward to seeing the final result in a week’s time. The two biggest challenges that I see in creating #equity for diverse candidates are: 1) Not openly dis…lnkd.in/gSMrNbwJ

Yesterday I wrote about the pain of grief — especially through the #yearoffirsts. Today I share the antidote: meaningful, intentional celebration of our loved one who has passed. 🔹 Yesterday I spent the day baking Dad’s favourite desserts: strawberry…lnkd.in/gFSpsrjS

Grief is not linear. (This I knew.) Grief is exhausting. (This I have learned.) And grief not only hurts emotionally but it also hurts physically. (This I did not know until now.) Today I find myself back where I began six months ago when my dad first…lnkd.in/gwzYeebD

54% increase on employee engagement. One consistent best practice. What best practice? The weekly 1:1 meeting with direct reports. —————————————————— If you’re a #manager, are you doing one on one meetings with your direct reports? If not, I hop…lnkd.in/guDUqZDX

In my role as an executive coach, I am often advising and coaching people who have experienced an unexpected #lifeshift and need help figuring out where to go next with their career. A surprise lay-off, a break up, an unexpected illness or accident, the…lnkd.in/gKe6sddS

For the past two business days I've been wanting to say what @lilyzheng308 said about #IWD. But Lily said it better than I ever could, so I will amplify their post instead. Have we made progress in the last century? Sure. But to be fair, the bar was set…lnkd.in/gpa9WM-p
