This week I’m working with an organization to empower their leaders to “find their edge” … to be more “bold” and “more assertive” while at the same time being more “discerning”. Our design team is anchoring into how we define leadership AS responsibility at Canvas, and as I was reflecting on this powerful work and story sharing from Andre Kotze - I am reminded again and again of the importance of critical reflection and “courageous” listening to drive what’s actually needed from and by leadership in today’s world. #transformativelearning #leadershipasresponsibility

Emergency Management & Disaster Recovery Program - Survey Responding and managing an emergency event is, arguably, straightforward. The focus is on life safety and the protection of infrastructure. It is a well-established profession and with lots of formal & informal education opportunities. But the long-term recovery of people & families and communities following a disaster requires a host of actions to restore the physical, economic and social functions of individuals & families and communities, including the restoration of critical infrastructure; re-establishment of educational, civic and commercial services; and re-establishment of the homes & communities of displaced persons. It is the least formal phase of emergency response and there are few if any opportunities in Canada to learn the practical and applied aspects of Recovery.

Pay it Forward, you’ll be gone one day - Our industry needs people, but not just warm bodies. We need real, skilled, hardworking people. People who can learn, adapt, and handle stress. People who can be relied on to get shit done. - The guys who have been doing this for years have done great, but they’re going to retire or die at some point and who will be left to take over? It may not be easy, it may not be quick, but we need to teach this next generation how to do the job. We have to expose them, give them experience, and teach them the high standards of this industry - If we don’t, we’ll be stuck with either nobody to do the job or bodies who perform the job in a low quality way. Everybody is a leader and we can all do better at this. Our world relies on the people who can do the bluecollar jobs. Our world needs more skilled people to do it - Bonus: if you’re wanting to BECOME a skilled tradesman. Shut up, show up, ask questions, take notes, and be somebody worth pouring into - 📸: my 12 year old brother digging his first hole with a trackhoe - #construction #bluecollar #leadership #heavyequipment #betterdirtworld #business #dirtyanddriven
