Excited to spend the day w leaders and admin doing socially distance ProD. So impressed with their choice to protect this time and their full engagement in strengthening awareness and communication, having important conversations, even as they respond moment by moment to this pandemic! Leaders are realizing, now more than ever, we need the skills that allow us to be our best selves, create our best culture. How are your leaders engaging and inspiring their teams?

Enjoyed partnering with CIS for the Coaching Community of Practice and Transformational Leadership Conversations. Impactful conversations and skill building with both groups as they seek to balance 'BEING' and 'DOING' as leaders. Stay tuned for fall opportunities as the partnership between HCC and CIS continues... 2 Groups will be offered. More details to come in August.

Excited to add this learning/tool to my work with teams and individuals.
As we begin to consider how we’ll be when we emerge from this pandemic, resilience (managing stress, adapting to change, being proactive) is one powerful piece to build into our work individually and collectively.

This is the time of year when I work from Mexico. I continue with my coaching, have meetings and focus on learning and growing, both as a coach and as an individual. I was struck yesterday by the reminder that being a ‘learner’ can be uncomfortable…

I have the best job. So grateful that I get to work alongside such vulnerable, kind and inspired leaders from various sectors.

Hmmm- how can we listen more deeply in our relationships? Lots of good thoughts, here...

"'When my sister moved, we were forced to recognize we had all these preconceived notions about who the other was,” Ms. Goldsworthy said. “We weren’t really listening to each other, which made it harder for us to really know each other.'" ...

"But what is love if not a willingness to listen to and be a part of another person’s evolving story? A lack of listening is a primary contributor to feelings of loneliness."

You’re Not Listening. Here’s Why. There’s an unconscious tendency to tune out people you feel close to because you think you already know what they are going to say.

In the fall of 2017, Bruce Rodriguez (then the Deputy Minister of Education) gave me 45 minutes to answer the question: ‘What are we missing when it comes to leadership in education in Ontario?'

A few days later, I asked my husband if he thought the tree was leaning a little? “It might be,” he said, “but it’s pretty slight,” and so we continued all the important busyness that seems to fill this time of year.

Setting Intentions: Lessons from our fallen Christmas tree Christmas 2019 has come and gone and here we are at the start of a new year – a new decade! As often happens with transitions, I find myself reflecting. Amongst a season of wonderful times with family and friends, great food and celebration, we had a “Christmas Tree” episode. We love fresh tre...

Happy New Year! Hard to believe we find ourselves in 2020...a new year and a new decade. Although I’ve been a bit absent on social media over the last few years, I’ve been busy connecting with amazing leaders across North America. I love my job. I get to work with people who wish to deepen their self-awareness and grow in their leadership to create healthy, thriving teams and organizations. Does it get any better?
As we head into this year, I am excited to share more about the work I’m doing!
In fact- something I’m looking forward to in the next week is a live web interview with CUTV News in their Empowered Women Series on January 8th at 2pm EST. So grateful for this opportunity to share more about the work I’ve been doing with leaders. Would love for you to join me!
