Getting The Right People On Board

Getting The Right People On Board

Getting the right people on board (for whatever type of organization) is a topic I've been wanting to cover for a while now, either via blog or podcast. The problem is that I hadn't found a good way to put it concisely, given my tendency towards long-winded pieces. 

A friend recently lent me a copy Jim Collins' book, Good to Great, where Collins describes: (1) how companies transition from being good companies to great organizations, (2) how most companies fail to make the transition, and then (3) offers some practical suggestions to implement these ourselves.

Joshua & Vipassana; FAQ (Part 3)

This is the final of three (3) posts about this experience, detailing my advice/suggestions to people who want to give Vipassana a try. If you haven't already, I suggest first taking a look at Part 1 (general overview, some logistical questions), and Part 2 (specifics about my experience before, during, and after).

My partner did it together with me; here's Part 1 and Part 2 of what she wrote.

This is the second of three (3) posts about this experience,  and it will be written in a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) format. If you aren't familiar with Vipassana, I suggest first taking a look at Part 1 (general overview, some logistical questions). If you find yourself interested after reading the first two posts, you can see Part 3 (advice for people who'd like to give it a go).

Thanks For Your Help!

Thanks For Your Help!

Putting together a personal, public webspace for myself as a content platform has been something I've wanted to do for half a decade now. When I was initially putting this site together, I was met with a number of road bumps which I struggled with (procrastination and indecision certainly being among them). It is thanks to these friends that I was able to trudge forward and keep refining the site to the point where I was eventually satisfied with the product.

In alphabetical order: AK, BN, CT, IS, JH, JT, LD, LW, MT, MW, TC, TP, WY.

Thank you :) wouldn't have been the same without your support!

The reason I'm writing this post is to encourage you to dig deeper. Ask questions about absolutely everything. Take stock of and challenge existing assumptions/biases that have taken root in your lives. Deepen your understanding of the world around and inside of you. 

Canadian Youth Mobility Agreements - Did You Know?

Canadian Youth Mobility Agreements - Did You Know?

Traveling around the world as a visitor, student, worker, or whatever other circumstance. It's a dream for many of us, isn't it? However, due to national borders, we are often faced with all sorts of challenges imposed by the systems in place for traveling. Similarly, my partner and I have been considering different places where we could do long-term traveling / short-term working, but come up against the wall of visa issues and poorly laid-out information on public resources.

Thankfully, in Canada, we are very fortunate to be a part of a group of countries who have set up an agreement that simplifies this all.
