The Logan Boulet Effect “Work Hard”

Canada is the #1 Hockey Nation in the World.  We have 13 Olympic Gold medals. Trailing behind us is the Soviet Union at 7 and the USA at 4.  It will be many years before any other Nation gets even close. But when it comes to Organ Donation, Canada is in the bottom third of…

Need a new Guru? #MeToo

Tony Robbins recently apologized for his conduct at one of his events: Unleash the Power Within. Tony entered into a dialogue with a participant about the #MeToo movement. The dialogue was captured on video and can be seen here. There is much to say about this video. I've watched it over and over again to attempt…

Trust Me, I can’t help you.

What's the difference between trust and faith? Trust requires relationship. Many organizations espouse the value of trust. But underlying this expectation of trust, what many leaders actually desire is for their followers to have faith. Faith does not require relationship. You can put your faith on tangibles like credentials, experience, and references. Upon entering into…

The Heart of Hockey

I sat in my truck last Saturday, searching through social media news feeds for the latest update on the accident involving the Humboldt Broncos hockey team.  I don’t know anyone on the team but I have this pain in my heart that finds a sense of relief by engaging with the tragedy. At the time,…

The collaboration trap broke the tigers back

It was 5-4 for the Baron's with just over a minute left in the third period when the head coach called out in panic, "Should we pull the Goalie?". This was not how this game was supposed to play out. We were in the semifinals. The Barons were the only thing standing between us and…

There are no “special” needs

I invite you to consider this idea: The Olympics, Paralympics and Special Olympics have one thing in common - Rare Athletes. The Paralympics, an encore to the XXIII Olympic Winter Games, are underway in Pyeongchang. There are two paths to the Paralympics, the first starts at birth and the second starts at fate.

The Red Hot Rip of Karma

The wax hits my back and I brace myself for the Red Hot Rip of Karma. Years ago,  I laughed as my father-in-law rolled up his sleeve at the request of his daughter to "practice" her IV inserting skills. Not a chance am I rolling up my sleeve for this nursing student, but good on…

Is Facebook Live more powerful than GOD?

It was a quiet evening, the end of a typical day, lying in bed with my wife getting really connected ... to our smartphones. This is difficult to admit, but I am going to go out on a limb and assume what I am about to reveal is not that uncommon. The kind of lying…
