If 2 billion Christians followed Jesus, they could cure poverty overnight.

When the American ports were closed to the "coffin ships" of Ireland, the port at Quebec welcomed the orphans of the famine. It is why you see the Irish flag flying proudly to this day in Montreal and Quebec. It is a bond that built our nation. www.youtube.com/watch?time_c...

For innovation to flourish, organizations must create an environment that fosters creativity; bringing together multi-talented groups of people who work in close collaboration together — exchanging knowledge, ideas and shaping the direction of the future. #innovation #inspiration #quote

Good question

If this made-in-Canada tiny chip lives up to it's billing it will be a game-changer for electricity conversion. @dariussnieckus.bsky.social reports www.nationalobserver.com/2025/03/06/a...

@thetyee.ca perfectly express what Canadians stand for.

Canadian unity at work. Still, this is a sad situation and it’s all because of one person.

Just watched my Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, give his last speech as Prime Minister. 😥♥️🇨🇦 Thank you, Justin. #CanadaStrong #ElbowsUp

Shocking

We need a re-design of how we operate, that’s for sure. #innovate

There are so many gems in this interview. I have great respect for Rick Steves.

Yes to all except I’m using Apple products and won’t give them up any time soon.

I recently participated in a children’s art project at the Vancouver Art Gallery. So nice to spend an hour painting and unplugging from the digital world for the day. Something I should do weekly.

Creativity thrives in uncertainty. When the future is unclear, creativity is a necessity. 🎭 Improvise & adapt 🔍 Stay curious 🤝 Collaborate with diverse minds 🎨 Make space for play & reflection Uncertainty = opportunity. How do you stay creative when everything feels up in the air?

Now, that's creative!

Good advice.

Canada has never been more united

Today is the 60th anniversary of the Canadian Flag. 🇨🇦 Watch how the design came about in the Design Canada documentary, which also highlights many of the iconic logos and symbols from the golden age of Canadian design. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7125748/?ref_=tt_mv_close

When people see the maple leaf, they see possibility. They see freedom. They see a helping hand. They see Canada, and the best of our values. Happy 60th to our flag. 🇨🇦

Whatever the Problem, Love Is the Answer A true story of how one innovative leader resolved a seemingly insurmountable emotionally charged conflict and how you too can lead with heart #love #valentine #leadership https://www.creativityatwork.com/whatever-the-problem-love-is-the-answer/

Yes, thank you to all the experts and journalists who refute misinformation.

"There are so many forces in the world that attempt to take us away from our hearts. Humanity did not survive because of what we think. It’s our capacity to love that’s carried us through. Love is more than an emotion—it’s a force for change." —Hank Willis Thomas ❤️ #art #love #creativityatwork

Spoke to #Canadian #innovators in Vancouver yesterday: Uncertainty is weighing heavily. Tariff threats and economic shifts demand adaptability if we are to thrive. My take? Creative Resilience + an #Antifragile mindset are KEY. How are you reframing challenges as opportunities? #creativityatwork

What can Scrabble teach us about creative #resilience? Turns out, quite a bit! Scrabble mirrors some of the same building blocks we need to be creative and resilient in both life and work. Eg: Constraint-Driven #Creativity, and Mental Flexibility. #creativityatwork

My interest is in exploring the interplay of business, art, design and science, for the purpose of making life and work a work of art. But..I also can't help being political during these tumultuous times. #creativityatwork #art #innovation #creativity

Creativity isn’t just about making art—it’s about navigating uncertainty, solving problems, and thriving in the face of change. I help innovators and entrepreneurs build mental fitness so they can do just that. Excited to explore and share on Bluesky!
