Bit of a wet, rainy Sunday morning in Lighthouse Park. Still no sign of any snow on the ground and it’s February 1st!

Beautiful day to not be in the office while seeking new ideas. Where do you go when you’re looking for new perspectives?

I don't post much on my business page, but thought this video might be good to share as a example of what good customer service does NOT look like!

I don't post a lot on my business page but thought my latest thoughts might be worth sharing.

Published: July 13, 2021. Okay, I’m finally angry enough to put fingers to keyboard. I recently heard a CBC interview where a Muslim woman was commenting about being harassed at a bus stop until someone eventually stepped forward to intervene.

A short followup to my recent rant about the use/misuse/abuse of the Chat function in Zoom Meetings!

Avoiding the Curse of the Chat!

Although I'm not a Zoom expert, I do know what drives me crazy.
I put together this short video to describe some of the things that drive me nuts--I realize my opinion will not be shared by all.

I'm not sufficiently invested in my comments to entertain a debate; however, I would love to hear the thoughts of others!

A seasoned (but not too spicy!) speaker with over 40 years experience, David is a sought after consultant who is best known for his creative presentations, playful demeanor, and relentless focus on delivering value to his clients, colleagues and community.

David’s experience comes from working with clients on four continents, in organizations that range from mining, energy, healthcare and financial services... to high tech, biotech, government and the not-for profit sector.

As the father of a precocious 20 year old daughter Anna, he has been forced to embrace the qualities of humility, patience, good humour and... acceptance of his own parental inadequacies!

The main focus of his current business involves working with individuals and groups who have no one else to point to as excuses for their own inaction. This has led him to spend the majority of his time helping executive teams and Boards make the tough decisions required to grow their businesses in a complex and unpredictable economic environment.

However, his deepest personal passion is to help people discover the courage he believes they all possess—and then inspire them to act on it.
