A Sunday afternoon is often a time for lazing around. Not yesterday! I was blessed to work through the MBTI with a group of energetic youth leaders! Thanks for inviting me in to help with learning about self, and learning about team. Keep growing forward!
Camp Assiniboia and the MBTI!
Thank you Camp Assiniboia! I had the priviledge of spending a day with the camp leadership team as they learned more about themselves and how they get along. There were plenty of laughs and great insights around the circle. Each person did the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and shared openly about their thoughts on their personality … Continue reading Camp Assiniboia and the MBTI!
Good Friday or Easter? Which are you?
Did someone wish you a happy Easter on Friday? Technically, they shouldn't. But it is hard to correct people when they are being so dang nice. For those who do not celebrate it as a religious holiday, they are being respectful, or they enjoy the mysterious happiness surrounding a giant candy grab and a long … Continue reading Good Friday or Easter? Which are you?
A great weekend at Red Rock with youth leaders
I had the good pleasure of hanging out with a pretty tremendous group of people this weekend. It happened to be at a pretty sweet location as well; the first camp I went to as a kid. A lot of memories from past retreats combined with new ones made with some new friends! I was … Continue reading A great weekend at Red Rock with youth leaders
Be Kind, even without the sale
Basic civility and common kindness are integral parts of all aspects of social interaction. Business is no exception. In fact, we have great opportunity in this arena to show these things as normal behaviour. I maintain this as true. But alas, not all humanity got the memo. We are given plenty of opportunity to see … Continue reading Be Kind, even without the sale
Book launch tonight!
It's finally here! Tonight is the night! It is not large, but it will have a big impact. Read the book, implement the thoughts, grow forward. That is the key. What I wrote about in the book is what I use in my life, and have used as part of defining clear purpose in my … Continue reading Book launch tonight!

I will talk a bit, but mostly it will be left for commentary and thoughts as I make the order page live for people to download. The event is on my Facebook page if you … Continue reading Managing Time or Harnessing Vision?

A Resilient Life
Resilience is a good trait, not just in leadership, but for every walk of life. As I made my way past Necessary Endings (last week) I came across this book by Gordon MacDonald. I had picked it up at a leadership conference the year before, almost exactly at the time that I realized I was not … Continue reading A Resilient Life
Great Time at Camp!
Thanks for the great opportunity to speak into the lives of young leaders! I had a great week walking and talking with these fine folks at Roseau River Bible Camp this week. We discussed personality, growing in identity, and leadership in a team setting. What does it mean to know your personality and continue learning … Continue reading Great Time at Camp!
Necessary Endings
Ah yes, another encouraging title from my long list of books with impact! This one came a little late in my leadership journey, as it presented a message I believe I needed to be convinced of earlier on. In my younger years I spoke of moving on from a situation that was not a fit … Continue reading Necessary Endings
Shattered Dreams
How's that for a title? Well, in keeping with my January promise to review books that impacted me in recent years, I am starting with this one. It is by no error that I have chosen this selection of books after last week's discussion on mental health. These books were largely part of my getting … Continue reading Shattered Dreams
