I WAS PISSED after I saw what I saw on social media ... so RANT WARNING! Can you say "Doug Ford"? Can you say "Ring of Fire?" #dougford #ringoffire #reconciliation #indigenousrights #indigenouscommunities zurl.co/dOhcs

So many are TERRIFIED to engage in reconciliation but if you are already doing it! Let's talk about it! #reconciliation #Indigenous #Canadian #Indigenousengagement zurl.co/5kmQe

There is much talk about the future of DEI and where there is discussion of DEI, there is always people who want to lump reconciliation into the mess. Let's not do that. Instead, let's talk about it! #trump #dei #reconciliation #indigenous #canada #conservatism zurl.co/p42F4

So many people (Indigenous and non-Indigenous) want to know if there is a "key" to successful reconciliation work and I believe there is but there are prerequisites too. Let's talk about it! #reconciliation #CanadianIndigenousreconciliation #training #prerequisites #key zurl.co/my594

Today, we discuss Indigenous art and why I say ADAMANTLY that it doesn't exist. Let's talk about it! #IndigenousArt #coastsalish #anishinaabe #reconciliation #crossculturalcommunication #marginalization #Canadianreconciliation #autonomy zurl.co/aPKew

A viewer emailed me and asked me my thoughts on the request to fly a Canadian flag on Flag Day. Let's talk about it! #donaldtrump #51ststate #flagday #canadaday #indigenousincanada #kweinthunderbay zurl.co/Qc9Hg

I want to play a game with you but this game has a point. (Trust, it will help you with the whole reconciliation/Indigenous engagement thang!) Let's talk about it! #reconciliation #indigenousengagement #communication #indigenouscustomerservice zurl.co/idCD7

First there was RECONCILIATION. Then came RECONCILI - ACTION. But what if thinking of reconciliation as an action is too small, too confusing, too misleading? Let's talk about it! #reconciliation #action #movement #Indigenousengagement #changingtheconversation zurl.co/HF6QC

In my live and virtual events, I work hard to ensure a safe space for my participants. BUT ... does that apply to my videos and comment section? Let's talk about it! #reconciliationtraining #training #reconciliation #seminars #workshops #videos #safespaces zurl.co/dPeEB

So many are attempting reconciliation work. I don't have 10 steps but I do have two "don'ts" and one "do" that you can incorporate into your work. Let's talk about it! #reconciliation #bestpractices #indigenousengagement #Canada #allyship #allies zurl.co/Ol9Ep

Last week, the Governor General of Canada rescinded Buffy Sainte Marie's Order of Canada award and I meant to comment on it so I released a Short on the weekend. Let's talk about it! #buffysaintemarie #pretendians #pretendian #governorgeneral #governorgeneralaward zurl.co/Anhmn

Indigenous, are you listening? Non-Indigenous, are you listening? It is time to CHANGE THE CONVERSATION! Let's talk about it! #reconciliation #Indigenous #Canadian #thepathforward #teachings #respect #value zurl.co/yhyCa

❤️❤️❤️

Love how easy our Canadian stores are making it to buy Canadian. #labelingforthewin

I HAVE A CRAZY IDEA FOR THE MINING INDUSTRY THAT JUST MIGHT WORK TO SOLVE ALL THEIR INDIGENOUS RETENTION CHALLENGES! Let's talk about it! #mining #indigenousretention #indigenousrecruitment #hiring #HR #culturaldifferences #reconciliation #solutions zurl.co/mU2jP

Each day we learn more about how to work together (Indigenous peoples and Canadians) and as I learn and grow, I often come across phrases or things that just gotta go. Let's talk about it! #culturalsensitivity #culturalcompetence #spiritnames #Facebook zurl.co/VoyU8

Too on point not to share ... www.linkedin.com/pulse/down-p... #trump #extremism #hate #bias #discrimination #genocide

Ignore them. Keep being the kind of success they judge. You got this!

Federal health workers are expressing fear and alarm after a website called “DEI Watch List” published the photos, names and public information of a number of workers across health agencies, describing them as “targets.”

There it is again, another day, another opportunity. The hope for another day has become reality. Don’t waste it.

Donald Trump is as wishy washy as they come. Tariffs in a few days? Tariffs in a month? Who knows? But Indigenous know how to work with an ally who is wishy washy or downright untrustworthy! Canada, we can help! Let's talk about it! #DonaldTrump #tariffs #tradewar zurl.co/743JM

My morning message for those who may be struggling ... www.youtube.com/@SandiBouche... #zeitgeist #politics #trump #tariffs #fear #democracy

World, let us introduce you to the dictator of the United States, Donald Trump. #RiPdemocracy

So food prices going through the roof and thousand of Federal employees likely to lose their job. Yeah that sounds like making America great. #not

I read 1984. Like so many, I know how this ends and that is scary af. Chiefs, this is proof we can’t trust them to take care of the land, us, or even their own.

Surreal to watch a once powerful country be eaten by its own. And yes, it could so easily happen here. #gawdhelpus

Conservatives being upset with Liberals and Liberals with Conservatives and I am not sure who is hating on the NDP but anarchy? Surprisingly, I hear the sentiment often, the desire to eliminate government all together. We should talk about it! zurl.co/fNluT #anarchy #Canada

I hear it all the time ... "Why do I have to reconcile with anyone? I didn't take anyone's kids!" Let's talk about it! #reconciliation #allyship #settlerdescendants #whitesupremacy #changetheconversation zurl.co/5aO69

This …

Pay attention …

YouTube scared me this morning. Here is my morning blog post explaining what happened ... www.youtube.com/@SandiBouche...

I know what it is like to be abused, marginalized, invisible, impoverished so today, I share my story to inspire yours and then I have a CHALLENGE for you! A 7-day challenge designed to help you build a habit that will definitely serve you long term. zurl.co/78OcP

Take my quiz to discover the nuances of high self esteem and then discover the THREE LETTERS that can start you on the path to HIGHER self esteem. Let's talk about it! zurl.co/u27HS

Indigenous people make up the highest percentage of people living below the poverty line in Canada, but no, we are not the only ones. Have you played the Poverty Game? Do you recognize these 6 realities? Let's talk about it! zurl.co/RiGIZ

These are SUCH confusing times! Poillieve, Danielle Smith, Trump ... so many reasons to dislike what the Conservatives are pushing but then ... we have Doug Ford. This video is targeting the people of Ontario. Let's talk about it! zurl.co/TVO0T

❤️❤️❤️

You KNOW I decided to leave Meta but something happened this week that has me rethinking that decision. For one, how much should an entrepreneur endure to serve the people they wish to serve? And does endurance mean Facebook? Let's talk about it! zurl.co/jIC4O

Just leaving this here … (Excerpt from Relentless by Tim Grover) #authenticity #superpower #success

You are Canadian and "don't do politics". WE GOTTA TALK!! RANT WARNING!! #politics #Indigenous #privilege #liberals #conservatives #ndp #voting #budgets #brokenpromises #cheapseats #brenebrown #maninthearenaspeech zurl.co/vNnQp

I had someone private message me asking me if I thought my videos help, if making videos is ALL I do for reconciliation. People, please. #reconciliation #onboarding #consulting #seminars #training #keynotes #videocourses #membership #freetraining zurl.co/Xhdtu

Trump saying the Bishop was “nasty” should surprise no one. That’s Trump speech for “a woman dared to challenge me”. I give her credit for asking for mercy for others and not just telling him to go eff himself. #handmaidstale #silencingwomen #trump
