A few weekends ago I joined players, coaches, and referees from across the Greater Victoria Area at a “basketball superclinic” that was delivered by Canada Basketball’s Mike Mackay. The coaches spent the morning learning about a practice we would be teaching to players in the afternoon. We also learned tactics for fostering performance safety and leadership agility in players and teams.

The Battle of Vimy Ridge, fought in April 1917, stands as a pivotal moment in Canadian military history. It was a battle won through remarkable courage and groundbreaking strategic thinking. Beyond remembering the fallen, we can draw valuable lessons from how Canadian forces approached this seemingly impossible challenge. Here three lessons in innovation from Vimy Ridge. Embrace flexible objectives over rigid plans…

Unlocked with safety. Trusted hoopers, friends at work. Have team chemistry. - A haiku about how psychological safety, connectivity, joy, and opportunities for learning unleash team chemistry; it is a delight to notice chemistry on the basketball court, soccer pitch, and in the workplace.

Last month, our family welcomed Trixie, the most perfect and awesome goldendoodle, into our home. Between my wife (who is very much her own person), our two boys, and me, we've spent approximately equ...

Last month, our family welcomed Trixie, the most perfect and awesome goldendoodle, into our home. Between my wife (who is very much her own person), our two boys, and me, we've spent approximately equal time training Trixie to be the best version of her dog self as we have cuddling her (note: puppies spend, like, 18 hours a day sleeping, so there’s been that, too).

Language is an amazing thing. What we say and how we say it reflects who we are and what we value. Whether you are speaking out of habit or stepping out of your comfort zone to make a point, the words that you use matter. In the past few months I've noticed some simple and everyday examples of how our turns of phrase can be quite egotistical and even self-centered.

Jane Goodall passed away on October 1, 2025. She left a legacy of curiosity, compassion, and difference making that touched literally every continent and impacted millions of humans and animals alike. One of my students at Camosun College used this quote to inspire my support for a Roots & Shoots chapter at the school: "What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what difference you want to make." - Jane Goodall…

Yes! Fall is falling. Epitome of Autumn Best. Season. Ever. - A haiku about Fall, which brings with it vibrant colours, great sports, and delicious food!

According to folks like Dr. Christopher Mackie, governments are shortchanging people under 45 by spending an unequal amount on seniors. Unsurprisingly, Susan Eng of the Canadian Association of Retired Persons (CARP) believes that such a position amounts to nothing short of “inter-generational war”. Co-operatives empower people around the world to redefine, share and creatively distribute wealth in order to make our communities healthy and resilient for the long term.

Analyzing and sharing what popular culture can teach us about career development, leadership, and the cooperative enterprise model is something we do really well on this website. My contention is that the Alien universe is probably a cooperative dystopia from which we can learn a lot. But first we need to analyze and understand the value of cooperativism.

I was away from work on holidays for five of the last six weeks. While I was away, our team advanced work, made hard decisions (some of which I probably wouldn’t have made), and generated great ideas....

I was away from work on holidays for five of the last six weeks. While I was away, our team advanced work, made hard decisions (some of which I probably wouldn’t have made), and generated great ideas. The high performance of our team without the boss got me thinking of how The Bear - the restaurant of the same name in FX's hit and award winning show…
