Resilience isn’t a personality trait, it’s a team sport. Resilience comes from creating safe and trusting environments where leaders are accountable and lead with empathy. Resilient teams bounce back faster and see obstacles as challenges. https://t.co/QimBl2nS3t

Today is Earth Overshoot Day. It marks the point at which humanity has used all the biological resources that the Earth can regenerate during that year.

This is the earliest it has ever been. Halting and reversing nature loss needs to be a priority. https://t.co/Zrf91uKF18

For 10+ years, I worked 3 or 4 days a week. I accomplished big things. Iceland has proved this can work across sectors. Microsoft has proved it can work in the most workaholic culture, Japan. Isn’t time for Canada to make the 4-day work week the standard? https://t.co/okJmIVVgtl

Canada has done great work towards phasing out coal. But we still have the second highest per capita emissions. 3x the global average. #lotsofworkstilltodo #netzero https://t.co/0C4UdPFIvW

How do we ensure that women are included in the green economy? According to BCG’s analysis the % of “green jobs” held by women will fall from a meagre 28 to 25%.

What do we need to do to ensure equal opportunity and participation?

Asset managers are committing to net zero portfolios by 2050. The question is how will they deal with fossil fuels - help make them cleaner or divest? https://t.co/yznGLXXLb8

Did you know collectively we will have thrown out 57 tonnes of e-waste by the end of this year? Shocking https://t.co/L42p3Q0Hh6

I changed jobs during the pandemic. Many people I know are doing the same. “The great resignation is here” and I believe it will be with us for a while. I agree with this article, caring: helping people feel valued, safe & empowered is the key to retentio https://t.co/6e4FhFmMIv

As we finalize our plans for bringing staff back to offices, it is important to remember one size doesn’t fit all. This article speaks to the challenges of racialized employees returning to the office. https://t.co/k0RBED1LGk

I have a terrible memory for facts, figures and names. This memeory learning technique has been my life saver for many years - quizzing yourself repeatedly over time. Allowing yourself to forget is a powerful tool for remembering. https://t.co/yUoTZbEh92
