Terces, from Cafe Gratitude, wrote this at the end of last year. After experiencing a weekend of “interruptions,” I just needed to share her insight from this post again: “I was thinking the other day how often I find myself living by evidence, even when I realize it I can’t always intervene in my evidence [...]
Soft corporate cultures allow you to be mediocre. They coddle and focus on the weakest team members. They put policies before people. Their leaders want people to get the work done the way it’s always been done. They protect inefficiencies. Their visions and strategies are riddled with buzz words that their own employees don’t understand [...]

While a blank new document is terrifying, a blank white wall is exhilarating. There is something about a freshly painted white wall that amazes me. It is not loud or overbearing, but is still able to command attention. It creates and opens spaces so the minds inside that space can do the same. It encompasses [...]
Difficult conversations are those conversations you put off. The ones that tie knots in your stomach. The ones you avoid at all costs. You know the conversations I’m talking about – the ones you know you need to have, but just don’t want to. A few months ago I attended a session by Tekara that [...]
This past weekend, I had two brief, yet memorable, conversations with a couple brand-ividuals. Scenario 1: Brunch at Twisted Fork Bistro following the Vancouver Sun Run After we had our first few bites of our delicious banana stuffed french toast, Bridie, our server, walks up to us with a huge smile and asks “So, are [...]
The Imaginary Foundation is a think tank from Switzerland that does experimental research on new ways of thinking and the power of the imagination. They also have a pretty rad blog where I found this great presentation that I just HAD to share with you. Isn’t it about time you let your creative beast out? [...]
