Tuesday Sep 05, 2023
Picture this, you’re having a stroke
The left side of your brain is turning off
You’re leaving the linear external world
Your identity is gone
Your ability to communicate is gone
All your past memories and your future aspirations, 3/4 of what defines you as a human being poof!
And for 8 years you navigate pure bliss, free of morality, judgement and the need to adapt to our environment
Let’s explore that for a moment

Musing Moment #5 - The Art of Sensemaking
Wednesday Aug 30, 2023
Wednesday Aug 30, 2023
Some say we're spending about 82hrs per week consuming and collecting information.
That's a staggering 69% of our waking hours.
So many great ideas, yet so much missed meaning.
So many really impactful moments I promised myself I would hold onto to be able to look back on, only to have it slip through my fingers.
Not because it was no longer relevant but because I just can’t recall what it was or where I stored it.
I desire to make sense of the world around me and find myself almost drowning it the magnitude of this venture.
Let’s explore the practice of sense making and personal knowledge management.

Musing Moment #3 - Telling a Great Story
Monday Aug 21, 2023
Monday Aug 21, 2023
As an artist, I think the biggest opportunity for you and for me is to learn how to tell our story.
To reveal who we really are
The experiences we've gone through
The struggles that have defined us
and the awareness, or confusion that's brought.
The seeds of doubt that have settled in
The influences that directed our focus, the deeper restlessness that continues to go unresolved
And the parallels between what's true and what's been manufactured.
This is far from easy work though.

Friday Aug 18, 2023
You say you're open, but you're really not. You're excited to share, but won't dare get caught. You've made discoveries, but stick with the familiar. what's true for you is not always aligned with your actions. As creatives, the opportunity for you is to lean in and put yourselves, your thoughts and your work out there for more people to interact with. This is the second mapping the mindstream. Today I want to talk about truth and having your ideas challenged.

Do You Actually Relate to People? | Over Drinks with Evan Woolley
Friday Aug 13, 2021
Friday Aug 13, 2021
How can the right leadership navigate the recent, and history repeated, events in order to continue moving forward? There really is no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ leadership; just misled leaders. Leading and navigating with your team is a process that grows with the amount of obstacles you face and overcome. Trust in an organization and in the public, as we’ll hear in this episode, is an essential element that sprouts from experiences, struggles and the ability as a leader to relate with his people.
It can feel like a hamonic dance yet a constant battle of dealing with problems and discovering solutions.
In a big organization like the government, which is built to go slow and careful, can create a sense of disconnect and unrelatedness to the common people as the world moves faster and faster. Join me today as the youngest councillor for the city of Calgary, Evan Woolley, shares his insights and knowledge from a curtain many of us are not familiar with.
Key Takeaways:
- have the audacity to challenge what was said to be “absolute” to say ‘no’ when it was always a yes.
- Do natural born leaders really have a better chance at being great leaders than those who learn the skills through experience and failure?
- What is the secret sauce to be heard? Is being trusting and authentic enough?

The future.
We all have one.
The big difference lives between those who spend the time to create one to work towards instead of being at the effect of other people's ideas of how the future should go. A vision gives us passion, drive and direction. Living in anticipation of a compelling future is a life worth living, as everything we do supports us in moving forward.
They inform our priorities, they expand our horizons and harness our strengths.
In 2017 a motley crew came together with a notion to bring more intentional effort to the creative process of creating a possible vision for the future of humans doing business.

How can leaders make a bigger difference in their employees lives?
Should leaders be quiet in the shadows and notice what is going on in order to empower whom they are leading? As Leaders, we need to lead by example. If your employees don’t see you living, breathing and acting on your vision; it is not effective, and it’s not empowering.
