Jumping on here to escape the Canadian cold and reminisce about a stopover in Lake Como spent with my Irish husband (that’s us in the pic) and Irish friend, Caroline, (she’s the photographer) before we hit up our Australian friend’s wedding in Italy. On travel: I’ve been thinking about the past few years spent asContinue reading “Refocusing offline and escaping (in real life)”

Babies + Business: Mini Guide To Navigating The Corporate Jungle (With Kids)
Babies + Business: Download Our FREE Mini Guides To Child-Friendly Events + Spaces (For Corporates) And Navigating The Corporate Jungle (With Kids), based on our experiences attending over two dozen events with a baby and toddler (separately – are you crazy?!) in two different countries (England and Canada), with more planned for future!
Attending events IRL and online…with a baby
Baby and I were snapped at last week’s ‘Restart’ Creative Mornings Ottawa talk! We’re even hanging out in the background behind the uber-inspiring artist-turned accountant-turned artist Ian A. Matthews and his pop-art winter parka. It’s not all about #BYOBaby, packing up the nappy/diaper bag and leaving the house to attend events in real life (IRL)Continue reading “Attending events IRL and online…with a baby”

Remember when you wanted what you currently have?
I’m committed to getting my book self-published before the end of 2018 but I know the route I had originally planned had many detours along the way. Sometimes our goals evolve so much that we barely recognize the dreams we once had, our past fears and limiting beliefs.
Making progress for parents who want to attend professional development, one small change at a time
If I don’t accomplish anything other than getting a baby change table mounted to the wall at Invest_Ottawa as part of my Impact Hub Ottawa and Synapcity Impact Academy: City Maker Edition efforts, I’ll be content!
Mixing personal and professional life
Last week I held a focus group for the child-friendly professional development pilot program I’m working on. It’s designed for primary caregivers of pre-school age children who want to gather with their kids, get inspired by business experts and share their progress, while grabbing a hot coffee, a bite to eat and connecting with othersContinue reading “Mixing personal and professional life”
