@michaelgervais random Q: I feel I've heard you share an anecdote about a Seahawk player who was under duress and in response his teammates rallied around him on the sidelines, spontaneously starting to bounce in unison...am I remembering correctly? If yes, can you link source?

“We are all carvers [referring to the totem at the center of she & @Rezadar9’s new book]. … Everyone has a role contributing to making Canada the country that it can be.”

While I've continued to do a bunch of work in the #govtech / #publicinteresttechnology space, I've been doing is mostly quietly, my primary focuses elsewhere. A recent call-for-startups has sparked me to re-engage and ask: Is it Time for BCDevExchange2.0? https://t.co/6ThcblqYFE

A gift to be in the territory of the @SquamishNation earlier this week to be part of celebrating an amazing colleague, Leah, who’s a finalist for a @BCPublicService Emerging Leader Premier’s Award. An especial gift to have one of my fave people, @Louise_Hartland, interviewing me.

“What makes life worth living? No child asks itself that question. To children, life is self-evident. Life goes without saying: whether it is good or bad makes no difference. This is because children don’t see the world, don’t observe the world, don’t contemplate the world, but are so deeply immersed in the world that they don’t distinguish between it and their own selves. Not until … a distance appears between what they are and what the world is, does the question arise: what makes life worth living?”
— Karl Ove Knausgård

What are you going to do NOW?

Just wrapping a weekend re-read of Jim Collins’ small but mighty “Good to Great and the Social Sectors” monograph. Unintended 💯pairing with my last post, in celebration of UN #publicserviceday today. 👏

Today is United Nations #PublicServiceDay! We couldn’t let this day go by without taking the opportunity to celebrate public servants around the world. 💫Here's our public service manifesto, created by our global community – thank you for all that you do! https://t.co/sMz6JnaODO

One of our back yard Qowlity Assurance team’s two junior interns is on-task today as I make my way through Saturday chores.

Grateful to the team at the ⁦@exchangelab⁩ for sharing a bit of the story of our work on developing data registers with/in BC Parks, and how we hope & intend this work to contribute to incremental - though meaningful - Reconciliation progress. https://t.co/AKSMxZ9Wex

GOOD morning.

Currently: Fielding test prep texts from my bonusdaughter about the process/timeline of adoption of UNDRIP. Casting back to when I was in grade 11, can’t help thinking the extent to which this little exchange between us is an expression of how far we’ve come. 🧡#paddletogether
