Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Film Tax Credit Cuts Protest (May 2012)

There have been a lot of mistakes, a lot of missteps and a lot of deficit budgets. But cutting the Sask Film Tax Credit is arguably the single most negative impact the Sask Party has had on our province – chasing away film production and the skilled people who worked in the industry *just* as […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Civic Engagement (February 2004, June 2009, Sept 2025)

I feel so fortunate to have grown up with parents who instilled a love of reading, news, politics and community engagement into me from a young age. Whether it was my dad reading the Leader Post from front-to-back every evening or my mom’s involvement on the Board of the Saskatchewan Union of Nurses, I have […]

Wisdom Wednesday – McDonald’s CEO Shows The Death of Fast Food (and the Importance of Knowing the Job)

Wisdom Wednesday – Manager vs. Leader

@claleadership101 Accountability vs. ownership. I LOVE this shift that can free our people from micromanagement to ownership. Great way to engage the team in a fresh way where they take personal responsibility of their work and business. Change the words you use and create a culture of ownership and commitment. Here’s a simple framework to […]
