An IRL Friday coffee with the smart, thoughtful and visionary @shakiba_s is a gift and a reminder of the great community we live in. #Guelph is lucky to have Shakiba's head and heart involved in so many conversations. #ServiceLeadership #StrongCommunityStrongBusiness

A friend's story about recovery from surgery prompted this week's @the4simplewords blog post. Yes, we should take that meal and offer support. AND, let's make sure we are in service to what they actually need, rather than what we want them to need. Have a listen & read below.

My writing this week has me reflecting on the power of words, how meaning can change as we grow and why it's up to each of us to be ready to let some language go. #ServiceLeadership #FourSimpleWords

How do white rabbits and #BlackHistoryMonth connect? For me, one is a reminder of how much learning I have to do about the other. This week I write about the gift of language my other grandmother has given me. Read more on the #FourSimpleWords blog š

This week's @the4simplewords blog post has me looking in the mirror and asking what is the real power of a sticker and flag? Just between us, I'm not happy with the answer. #IsNotAboutMe

When is F-150 not just a truck? What does my reaction to the flag and sticker on the back say about me? A quick dismissal of how others want to be seen damages them and me. Learn how two wise women have helped me better accept everyoneās need to belong. foursimplewords.ca/when-is-aā¦

We want to make 2023 a #YearOfService. Our first posting this year is about one simple tool that Service Leaders use to align their actions and values.

The ego-driven madness we are seeing in the US House of Representatives is an example of leaders who are not transparent (or even fully aware) of what they are in service to. Read about the simple tool Service Leaders use to focus on the right things. ow.ly/xt0050MkeQm
