My Loaded Bow

Armed with Community.  Just over a year ago, I was invited to an evening called Loaded Bow. I didn’t know what to expect; all that I was told was that it was an evening for women entrepreneurs, and that I should bring a fellow female entrepreneur along. I brought my dear friend Theodora Lamb and proceeded […]

Story Visioning

Every January, I reflect on all that has passed and I set intentions for the year to come. I’ve moved away from specific goal setting as it can often be rigid and onerous, plus when you run your own business you need to be nimble and I have found that the best way to be […]

Generations of Storytelling

After appearing in The Vancouver Province a few weeks ago, I posted a follow up blog post (Welcome to Generation C) in my own efforts to better understand my position on generations in the workplace. It was an interesting experience to go through; every time I would sit down with a friend or colleague, I […]

It’s All About The Story

The theme for the opening reception at the Galiano Literary Festival was “It’s All About The Story”.  Yes, I was in the right place!

Tis the Season!

This time of year is always full of wonder and awe. Nostalgia seems to be floating around like clouds in the sky, heavy with the memories of days gone by and yet light with possibilities and excitement. As I look back on 2012, I am struck with the realization that this has been a phenomenal […]

For those looking for that perfect gift this holiday season, look no further than your own backyard. Next week marks the first official Buy Local Week in British Columbia, and as a proud member of LOCO BC I am all about supporting local businesses. On that note, here is the story I wrote for the wonderful […]

Blues Electrified

Imagine an old cabin, tucked away in the woods. A storm is on the way; the sky is dark and getting darker by the minute. A lone amplifier sits connected to a generator, it’s gentle humming echoed by birds anticipating the storm. Across the barren land walk two individuals, unrecognizable at first. They slowly come […]

My Bag Full of Tricks

Now that I am a public speaking enthusiast (see last post), I thought I could use a little refresher on the ins and outs of delivering a TED worthy presentation. A friend of mine told me about Stand & Deliver, a tw0-day intensive workshop in Vancouver that promises to “hardwire your brain to your lips” […]
