The graduating class of 2020 has essentially been thrust into the daunting world of adulthood. With the comfort and security of student life gone, new graduates must learn to navigate an uncertain job market without any sense of closure for the end of the life they once knew. Despite the many uncertainties ahead, it is important for new graduates to maintain a positive outlook and not to lose sight of what they have to offer the world. Graduates can use this time of large-scale social change to tap into their potential, discover new interests, and explore their passions.

Prioritizing Healthy Eating

By Lianne Bridges|2017-07-13T17:43:58-04:00December 2nd, 2010|Guest Blogggers & Interviews, Mind, Body & Spirit|

Developing healthy eating habits early in life can lead to a lifetime of healthy living, so get started today! Involve your children in the menu planning, grocery shopping and food preparation whenever possible. Keep your pantry and refrigerator stocked with affordable choices of fresh, frozen and canned fruit and vegetables, low-fat dairy products, whole grain cereal, pastas and lean meats and alternative protein options. Then slow down and enjoy it all!

Honouring their Memory with Peace

By Lianne Bridges|2017-07-13T17:43:59-04:00November 9th, 2010|Education, Community and Leadership|

The best way to honour the ones who have fallen in battle this Remembrance Day is to start by creating peace in our own lives through the higher values of respect, compassion, forgiveness and wisdom. From there, we will begin to create peace in the world. Only then will we truly honour their memory.

Making Space in Our Lives

By Lianne Bridges|2017-07-13T17:44:00-04:00June 28th, 2010|Guest Blogggers & Interviews, Mind, Body & Spirit|

All the noise we create by structuring our lives to collect things can actually be a way of building a monument of distraction. The rise of the organizing and storage industries—not to mention all the communication pathways and devices used to collect and store messages and information—speak to how distracted and fragmented we’ve become.

Successful practices of mindful organizations

By Lianne Bridges|2017-07-13T17:44:01-04:00May 14th, 2010|Career and Business|

Where two or more gather…let them do so with consciousness Version Français I have spent over 25 years working and consulting for all types of organizations – big, small, public, private, for profit and not. One thing I have found to be consistent is a general malaise in these organizations. The unbridled pursuit of profit at any cost has left them with products that are commoditized, employees at the brink of exhaustion and environments and communities close to depletion. Why is this happening? To understand, I removed myself totally from corporate life and gained a new perspective. I left my consulting practice and immersed myself into the mindfulness community. I went inwards using today’s contemplative practices to gain insight. I have been researching the most successful leaders in consciousness and sustainability looking for the best wisdom teachings. What I found surprised me and gave me hope. […]

Wisdom meets modern technology with a WOW!

By Lianne Bridges|2017-07-13T17:44:01-04:00May 7th, 2010|Career and Business, Education, Community and Leadership|

I was extremely fortunate to have attended the Wisdom 2.0 Conference in Silicon Valley last weekend. It is the first of its kind, bringing together leaders in new media and technology, like Twitter, Google and Facebook, with spiritual and social consciousness leaders. I first heard about the conference about a month ago from a friend.

Nobody owns land, we borrow it from nature

By Lianne Bridges|2017-07-13T17:44:05-04:00March 19th, 2010|Connecting To Nature, Inspired Messages, Shifting Perspectives|

What would happen if we started to think of ourselves less as "land owners" and more as "land stewards"? This is something that indigenous people understood and which allowed them to respect and protect the environment that sustained them. What would happen if we started to shift our thinking in this direction?

Using technology to make a difference

By Lianne Bridges|2017-07-13T17:44:05-04:00March 16th, 2010|Shifting Perspectives|

What is Cloud Computing? In plain terms, Cloud Computing refers to working with a variety of software applications that are available online (for free or limited fee) to fit your specific need. In the case of a socially conscious enterprise or not-for-profit organization, this means using a combination of online software (SaaS or Software as a Service) designed to help communicate with stakeholders inexpensively. This allows social entrepreneurs to leverage the latest communication techniques that currently exists without having to rely on IT knowledge or investing in expensive software. By using free or low cost web-based software to build web sites, blogs, emails, etc., social entrepreneurs have access to their own virtual workbench to design, build, deploy and measure their own communications and campaigns. New social media, personalization technologies coupled with marketing automation, all available online, provide the power tools to cost-effectively create, manage and deploy communications that can adapt to new information, interactions and data. Especially in light of the recession, forward thinking organizations are seeing the large cost savings that can be realized from the cloud [...]

An unforgettable journey of service

Air Canada swaps paid seats for much-needed relief for Haitians As I was pursuing my friends' updates on Facebook this past weekend, I learned that one of my friends, Sue, had been down to Haiti and back on a volunteer mission with her employer, Air Canada. When I mentioned to her that this was an awesome thing for her to do, she humbly replied, "I truly felt honoured to be able to go". In fact this was an awesome thing for Air Canada to do. The benefit to the hundreds, if not thousands of earthquake victims are enormous. Of course, it doesn't hurt their brand image either. But, this relief mission will profoundly impact the lives of the volunteers, their valued employees; something that could never have been done with a mere pay cheque. This type of win-win-win thinking is necessary for today's organizations to be successful and sustainable in the future. Way to go Air Canada and way to go Sue! This is her incredible story: This weekend I was privileged to be a member of the Air Canada volunteer [...]

The 3 P’s of the New Economy

By Lianne Bridges|2017-07-13T17:44:06-04:00August 10th, 2009|Career and Business, Shifting Perspectives|

Much has been written about the unprecedented global economic crisis, including the causes - greed, selfishness, financial and loan schemes, rampant consumerism. As I hear talk of the recession easing, I am a bit concerned that we will come out of it too quickly to make real change. Our current economic model is not sustainable. Many of us are waking up to this fact. We have a chance to create a new economy based not only on the profit bottom line, but also on the social and environmental bottom lines - referred to as the triple bottom line of People, Planet and Profit.
