Hi Reader, How has your week been? The weather in this part of the world has been a bit chilly lately, and yes, we’ve had our share of rain too ☔️ Perfect days to stay inside, read a book, and be cozy (I'm really good at doing that 😃). It made me think back to our first summer here in Canada, when we spent so many moments out sailing. If there’s one thing sailing has taught me, it’s that you rarely go in a straight line. The wind isn’t always in your favour. You adjust your sails, shift your weight, change direction, sometimes just to keep moving forward. Sure, you can turn on the motor and power through. You’ll get there faster, but you’ll also miss the whole point of sailing. And isn’t that how life and business work, too? We crave the straight line, the perfect plan, the predictable route, the control. But simplicity isn’t about forcing the fastest way forward. It’s about trusting the journey. When we let go of trying to make everything perfect, we make room for flow. For the unexpected wind shifts that carry us somewhere even better than we planned. For the quiet moments where the destination matters less than the experience. 🌬️ Notice where you’re “motoring” through life. What would it look like to ease off and let the wind guide you instead? So wherever you are right now, whether the wind is with you or against you, take a deep breath. Adjust your sails. Sending you fall greetings from Canada 🍁 Peggy I hope these stories reminded you that simplicity isn’t about doing less, it’s about creating more space for what truly matters. Next month, we’ll dive into a brand-new theme to close out the year powerfully. I can’t wait to share what’s next. 🌿 |

View in browser Hi Reader, Last week I spent a week skiing in Whistler, yes, I (we) had a wonderful time, and I was even in the Olympic Spirit 😊 ⛷️ And it reminded me of something I hadn’t thought about in a while: the joy of being a beginner again. Besides the two days of skiing last year, the last time I went skiing for a whole week was in 2014 😅 Over the past year, I’ve been embracing that beginner mindset a lot, mostly thanks to my MBA journey. When you’re learning constantly, you’re...
View in browser Hi Reader, A short and sweet note this week, I’m off to Whistler for a week of skiing ❄️⛷️ But, I wanted to share this little story with you... Last week, while sitting in a waiting room (one of those unexpected pockets of time), I decided to make the most of it and catch up with a few friends. And then I noticed something. I was texting people in Belgium, South Africa, USA, Sweden, France, Switzerland, Australia and yes, in Canada as well 😅 My gosh! In my MBA cohort alone, my...
View in browser Hi Reader, Last week I had a not-so-nice reminder about something I talk about all the time: The importance of clarity. I had an upcoming quiz in my MBA program, and, wanting to prepare properly (hey, you know me 😏), I reached out twice to clarify exactly what we were expected to study. No response. Crickets. I went into the quiz thinking I had prepared for what was required… and walked out feeling frustrated and honestly a bit angry. Because what I thought we had to study...
