When Content Isn’t Learning
How many courses have you signed up for… and never finished?Most people can name more than one (🖐️) . There’s a growing trend: everyone with expertise is packaging it into a self-paced course. Beautiful videos. Clean LMS platforms. A polished funnel. And yet… the outcomes rarely match the promise.*Completion rates are low.*Behaviour change is rare.*Impact…
JOY!
The first year I arrived in Canada, I thought I should find something to do during the long winter season…Something that would get me out and help me enjoy the outdoors like everyone else. My childhood obsession with watching figure skating competitions felt like a good place to start. After all, skating was everywhere… public…
Human Connection
The best thing about the holiday season is gathering around food, appreciating each other’s company, and refilling ourselves with the energy we cultivate through human connection… Yes, human connection…I believe those of us who still understand its value have a responsibility to pass it on to the new generations… generations born into an era that…
From Expertise to Impact
For centuries, we’ve passed our wisdom from one generation to the next through 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩, 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐬, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐬. People once felt a deep responsibility to share what they knew – to ensure that knowledge, skill, and insight didn’t end with them. They found ways to teach, guide, and preserve human understanding. Today, our world looks…
“Living” vs “A Living”
Why is it that “living” means being alive, existence, livelihood — but when we put an “a” in front, “a living” suddenly becomes about making money? The English language is interesting. I don’t know if other languages use the same kind of wording. We breathe, eat, drink water, sleep, and move to “be alive.”We work…
Owning Your Choices, Holding Space for Others
Some decisions don’t need to be explained—just owned.
Years ago, I made a choice that felt right for me. It didn’t affect anyone else, yet someone still felt entitled to judge it. That moment reminded me: clarity doesn’t always come with consensus.
Now, as a thought partner to facilitators and wellness professionals, I support others…
What If Someone’s Soul Was Bleeding?
What happens when someone’s mental health deteriorates right in front of you—and there’s no system in place to help? In this deeply personal reflection, I share our experience with a neighbour in crisis, the fear and helplessness we felt, and the heartbreaking gaps in mental health support. We were lucky to have a caring community—but…
When Time Opens Up: What Do You Do With It?
AI is saving us time—no doubt about it. But in our rush to become more efficient, are we overlooking what that time could truly offer us?
In this post, I share a personal journey that began when I moved from the fast-paced chaos of Istanbul to the slower rhythms of life in Canada. For the…
Structure Lets the Light In
An executive coach came to me with a mountain of insight—research, tools, and years of experience—but needed a way to shape it into a cohesive learning journey. This is a reflection on what happens when deep expertise meets thoughtful structure… and the transformation that follows.
COLD BREW
Adapting to change isn’t just about upgrading our tools—it’s about upgrading how we relate to uncertainty.
Inspired by a hot summer and a switch to cold brew, I reflect on what Alvin Toffler called the “speed of change”—and how right he was. Today’s pace can feel disorienting, even overwhelming.
