Do you ever fully read job descriptions? Do you look for particular language to see how companies present themselves? And then do you dig deeper to find out if how they present themselves is truth?
I am going to share a line that totally intrigued me…
And ALL the other organizations that let women go for X reasons. Bell is not the only guilty organization. A greying woman isn’t the only reason. Race, trans, sexual orientation, religion …. We need to talk about this. Intersectionality increases the prevalence.
"Bell, what is your plan?...What will you do not just for Lisa but for us all." I joined many others in signing this open letter in @globeandmail to Bell Canada about @BellMediaPR's "business decision" to fire Lisa LaFlamme in prime of her career. Have a read & RT if you support.
This really speaks to me. I’ve experienced the opposite where the work environment was incredibly toxic. I’m glad I got out. My heart bleeds for those still trapped in it. I try to lead this way. Caring authentic relationships is everything.
Employees are not resources to manage. They’re humans to value.
Bad managers only care about your results. Good managers care about your well-being. Great managers care more about your well-being than your results.
We do our best work when leaders put people above performance.
For those who don't know; the name Ottawa comes from the Algonquin word Adàwe, meaning "to trade."
Where Ottawa is now was a major trading hub for Indigenous folks from all over Turtle Island and accessible by waterways and is still unceded and unsurrendered Algonquin territory.
To fight Zoom fatigue, give people the freedom to turn their cameras off.
New experiment: videos off reduces exhaustion and boosts engagement—especially for women and newcomers.
Cameras off doesn't reflect disengagement. It helps to prevent burnout and promote attention.
Yup. Been on the receiving end of a toxic boss. Best outcome from that is to learn what not to do. “A leader’s duty is to care.” So very important during these difficult times.
A toxic boss stabs you in the back. A selfish boss holds you back. A supportive boss has your back and propels you forward.
Even more than performance, great managers invest in people. They promote your growth and well-being.

Just to reiterate what I said on @TheCurrentCBC & my @WinnipegNews column: Mary Simon is "officially" bilingual (Inuktitut recognized in Nunavut) & to demand Indigenous officials speak 2 colonial languages in duties is profoundly racist - Canada's problem, not Indigenous peoples.
The sacred responsibility of finding our missing children and bringing them home should be above politics.
@fordnation does not understand this. They do not care. They did not live it.
No matter how many people tell me we need a new approach to racial justice based on kindness and love, I say, no, we need a new approach to kindness and love based on racial justice.
THREAD: School closure and kids
I am an expert in child & adolescent EMERGENCY psychiatry. This is my expert opinion: It's complex, and it is not easy to answer
COVID = BAD
Education = GOOD
In person schooling in a deadly pandemic
= GOOD BAD
