Leadership
Too much action, not enough reflection?
The hands of time seem to be moving ever so quickly although in actuality they have never changed pace. The tempo of worldly affairs and the day-to-day bustle seems to somehow have increased for many of us. Our increasing dependence on technology and a growing need to be continually plugged in means we often have [...]

Start With Why
In November of 2010 I had the honour of attending The Art of Management conference in Toronto. The event featured keynote speeches from Michael Eisner (former Disney CEO), Malcolm Gladwell (author of Blink and The Outliers), Mitch Joel (social/digital media guru), and a few others. Of all the speakers present that day the one that [...]

Strange Tides
Never say no to new and potentially enriching experiences. To provide context: I’m writing this in the humidity of Sai Gon, Viet Nam. If you’ve read my brief author description, you’ll remember that I’m dedicating my entire summer to Southeast Asia, particularly Viet Nam and Thailand. I’ve never been out of the country for longer [...]

The Leader as a Humble Servant
The first words that come to my mind when the words ‘leader’ or ‘leadership’ are mentioned, are ‘servant leadership’. But what exactly is servant leadership? To begin, I would like to make the distinction between leaders and those who lead. There is certainly a difference between the two. And whether you are a CEO of a [...]

This is what elementary school taught me
When I was in the seventh grade, we had a guest teacher/learning facilitator/equally-vague-and-generically-titled person come in who divided the class into groups. Each group would then be called to the front of the classroom where we’d engage in some sort of impromptu activity. Looking back now, the details are fuzzy, but I remember my group [...]

The softest yell can still be heard ’round the world
Posted November 11, 2011 by Theresa
Hi Toronto (and world), how are you? It’s been a while. Last we talked, I was in Viet Nam on the adventure of a lifetime. I’m back in my city now—right back into the swing of things. I learned a lot on my three-and-a-half-month, cross-country charity mission, but those tales can be saved for later. [...]

Embrace Change
Posted November 9, 2011 by Bobby Umar
Why do people fear change? Change forces us to think differently, learn new things, and adapt. Humans by nature get too comfortable in their lives. Whether it’s your routine, your job, your network, even what meal you are planning. For me personally, the biggest challenge as an entrepreneur has been the advent of social media. [...]
