The holiday season is not only a time for celebration but also an opportunity to express gratitude to the people who have made a significant impact on our lives.

Its that time of year again and I am already burnt out.  Family obligations, kids, aging parents, in-laws, and end of year stress at work.

I have had a few things happen at work that have left me feeling confused and upset.  I won’t go into the specifics, but it has to do with someone’s actions and how this impacts the job we are expected to do.

I own a small business that operates without the benefit of any type of human resource team. I often handle the employee matters on my own which has gotten me into some tough spots as its not my strength.

This year, like many before, has had its share of challenges. Economic uncertainties, ever-changing market demands, and the balancing act of personal and professional responsibilities have all tested our resilience and patience.

Managing millennials can be a challenge. They need constant stimulation—something that baby boomers and gen Xers do not always need as much of.

I often find myself becoming more lethargic, less motivated and a bit down. Once it starts to get darker earlier, I notice a real shift in my ability to be consistent with my actions...

Summer has arrived and with it – summer vacation. Not suggesting that you use your off-down time to review business books, but if you are interested in some great, inspirational, and informative books, the following are a few of my favourite’s.

Do you have any suggestions on how to manage different personalities in the workplace? I find that some of the people are open to feedback, some think it is criticism and others are highly defensive.

I manage a small group of 15, most of whom are very good to work with and easy to lead and direct. Most are excellent at taking direction, but I have a new employee that is challenging for me. I assume I am challenging for him as well.

Imposter syndrome is a term used everywhere, and that speaks to how common it is, especially for women. But why is it getting so much attention these days?

Do you have advice about working with a group of people who work in remote locations? Since Covid, we have been working from home and at times it is incredibly challenging to get folks to work together on projects.

In my Coaching practice, I am often asked for recommendations for good reads on business and leadership.

recently had a falling out with my boss. She is a very strong-willed individual, who often seems frustrated with her team. Instead of showing us how she would like us to behave, she often demonstrates behaviour that has many of us feel as if she is angry.

Both of my kids are now in High School, and I feel like the time is right for me to follow my passion and open up a business that fulfills my need to be independent but also, do do something for work that I am passionate about.

I have spent the last 8 years working for the same company, with various promotions along the way. Overall, I enjoy the work but lately have been wondering if it is time for a change.

I manage a team of 10 in a mid sized company locally. One of my responsibilities is to handle HR. I have some training in HR but most of my work is in finance.

I have recently moved to a new city and find myself feeling a bit out of sorts. I moved to take a new job, and although I have met some new people, I feel very lonely and uncertain that the decision I made was the right one.
