Message from the President & CEO
Where has the time gone? On November 22, we celebrated the delivery of our 50 th Future Ready Leadership program. 50 deliveries! That means we have helped more than 800 professionals across Ontario become leaders. In 2011, Jack Grosvenor, our lead facilitator for the program, and I co-designed and facilitated the first ever Future Ready Leadership program. We had participants from the Town of Innisfil, Innisfil Hydro, Tay Township, Town of Bradford, Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury, Town of Wasaga Beach, and Township of Tiny. The Town of Innisfil even received an award from the Canadian Association of Municipal Administrators (CAMA) for implementing the program. 

Over the past 6 years, it’s been amazing to see how Future Ready Leadership has helped professionals develop the skills to excel in their careers. We look forward to continue building these relationships and helping our clients!

Holiday Recipe for Success
'Tis the season to be merry, or so the saying goes. For most of us though, stress is a given when trying to balance busy work schedules and added holiday pressures. After a hectic workweek, I personally can’t endure busy department stores, long line ups, chaotic parking lots and at the end of it, an empty wallet. This year I am sharing with you my recipe for a successful holiday season. It’s quite simple and has been very effective for me.
 
Identify your goals for the holidays and set realistic time frames. My holiday goals include;
  1. Only buy one gift for immediate family this year and have shopping completed by December 15. Shopping early and reducing the amount of gifts to purchase means less stress and more time, which also eases up on finances.
  2. Put extra time aside for family. Spending time with loved ones is my highest priority this year.
  3. Be aware of workload. Make good use of time, prioritize tasks, set a time to leave work and try not to be a perfectionist, but that’s a whole other topic.
 
Regardless of what you celebrate having clear goals will lessen stress and will give that extra time you need to do what is important to you.
