A year for the books. We are about to begin a school year like no other. I am preparing to bring in a whole bunch of little people in need of some kind of structure, routine, and a little bit of “normalcy” (in quotes because do we even know what […]
Kindergarten is like babysitting. All they do is play all day. Kindergarten should be cancelled this year. If my kid was in kindergarten, I wouldn’t send them to school. What’s the point? The list of things I’ve heard about Kindergarten could go on for days, but I’ll stop there. My favourites are […]
Leadership matters…we’ve all heard that before. Maybe we’ve said it. But what does it mean? Why is it important? For anyone who follows me on social media, you know that I’ve spent the last six months editing books with Code Breaker Inc. It’s been quite a ride. I’ve met a huge amount of influential and […]
