Strategic Planning doesn’t have to be dull, but it CAN bring out the best, most creative insights of your stakeholders to foster a sense of optimism and joy about the future. This past Saturday I worked with the Board of Directors from CMHA Ottawa to have some serious, yet hopeful conversations about the future direction…
Strategic planning should be an exciting process for stakeholders of any organization—but let’s be real: for many, it’s a dreaded, repetitive exercise. Here’s why: most planning sessions fall into predictable routines, often led by a small group while others are left out of the conversation. There might be a review of Mission, Vision, Values, a…
“To invent, you need a good imagination and a pile of junk.” – Thomas Edison The launch of our new Imagination course is well underway, and it has been a BLAST. We know that most adults report that they use their imagination less than when they were children. When we ask them why, they often…
It’s here! We could not be more excited to share something new we’ve been working on: our Imagination Course. This isn’t your typical training program.

Most of us want to inspire their teams, but feel stuck in traditional ways of thinking. We want to innovate, but are often unsure how to start. I remember a conversation I had with a client who felt overwhelmed by the challenges of leading a large team. They were bogged down by routines and felt…
