Happy Friday,   I was reading an interesting Gallup survey on work just published – They have been measuring employee engagement since early 2000.   Gallup found early March, the percentage of “engaged” workers those who are highly involved in, enthusiastic about, and committed to their work and workplace — reached 38% the highest on record.   This

Good Monday morning,   On Wednesday we celebrate all things that make our country so great. This year, Canada Day may look different for most of us. There will be no city-wide parades or large parties. But it’s important to remember we still have so much of this country to be thankful for. We have mountains, lakes,

Happy Friday,   Our economy has undergone many changes in the past months and as leaders, it’s important that we understand how this impacts our businesses and teams.   Our staying current in research and understanding of the situation allows us to lead more effectively and make smarter decisions.   A Ludicrously Oversimplified Explanation of the Canadian

Happy Friday,   It is National Public Service Week and I want to take this moment to thank all of our public servants.   As Canadians, we have seen the impact the public service has had in this unusual season, more than any time in recent history.
