Hello!! 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻 Me again. I hope you’ve all had an amazing week, recharged on the weekend, and are ready to rip into the new week. If not, maybe it’s a good time to reflect on what is missing in your life. Because “better is always possible.” I am so tired of hearing people blather on about how you should “follow your passion”; it is a dangerous idea. There is a grain of truth to the idea, which is what makes it both so compelling – and so dangerous. It leads to too many people searching…

Hello!! 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻 I hope you’ve all had an amazing week. Or at least, a better week than I had (more on this below!). Sometimes the winds of life blow right in your damn face, and things can feel hard. That’s just the way it is! You don’t need to fight back when it’s like that; it is okay to just weather the storm, wait for the headwinds to pass, and conserve your energy for another day. That was me this week. And that is okay! The storm always passes, and we carry on. Hopefully, you can benefit…

Hey there! As we prepare for the crisp air and colourful palette of autumn, I’m reminded why my logo features a multi-coloured tree. Just like fall is a season for transformation—a time when leaves change their hues and prepare for a new beginning—I help you do the same in your career. Like trees, careers aren’t built overnight; they grow slowly, nurtured by the decisions we make, the goals we set, and the actions we take. You need to establish a strong root system to ensure you are stable…

Hey there! Hard to believe, but we are in the last couple weeks of summer. Time just seems to pass quicker and quicker with each passing year. I hope that you’ve enjoyed some joys that the season offers. While my focus is very much on helping people design and build a career that suits what their goals are, it’s also important to pay attention to life outside of work. After all, work is just one aspect of life, even if it is an important aspect. Take some time this week, even a few minutes,…

Hey everyone! I am with my wife and my son in New Brunswick for this phase of our summer vacation. It has been great to reconnect with extended family and to enjoy the warmth and hospitality of the Acadian people, and of course, seafood! The weather has required us to keep flexibility in our plans; that is just how life along the coast is. You need to adapt your plans to what Mother Nature throws at you. There is a great lesson there; we can either try to force our will to get things to work…

Hello! I hope you all had an amazing week. I kicked off some vacation time this week, getting it started with some time with members of my neighbourhood. We had a community gathering on our beach, complete with a pig roast. After a fantastic meal, my neighbour and I put up a custom-built screen, and we had a movie night under the stars. We watched the classic ‘The Great Outdoors’ starring John Candy (it seemed an appropriate choice for a movie on a beach). These are the moments that make up…

Hey everyone!
First off, I’d like to wish a Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there. We sometimes take for granted the powerful role that fathers play in our lives. I hope you were able to connect with your dad in some way today.
This is a bit of a longer post this week. I hope you find it helpful!

Ready to learn a powerful idea for working and living better?
As a career coach, I’ve seen countless talented, mid-career professionals facing a common struggle: they are at a point in their career where success isn’t enough because they no longer derive pleasure or fulfilment from their work. If you’re feeling burnt out, frustrated, or simply stuck in the grind, this message is for you!
I want to introduce you to a powerful concept I like to call ‘Mood Follows Action’.

Hey there! I hope you had an amazing weekend and had a chance to rest, recover, and have a bit of fun. It is so important to shift out of “productivity mode” on the weekend and let your hair down a bit. We need some rest and play in life.
The biggest problem most people face with work is not knowing what they want out of it. It shouldn’t just be transactional, where you only do what needs to be done so that you get paid. That is not a recipe for long-term success.
If you spend all of your…

Happy Easter everyone!
The sun is gaining in strength, taking the edge off the winter chill. I can see signs of growth, of new life as the snow and ice melt away. At its heart, the Easter story is a story of transformation. It is a story of hope, of rebirth, and of renewal, that can resonate with all of us regardless of religious background and beliefs.
It is a story about coming out of the cold and dark, and of moving towards the light. Of renewal. I suspect that is why we celebrate it in…
