Thoughtful, Insightful and Hopefully Helpful Articles About Leadership, Organizational Behaviour, Human Resources, and Complexity.

❤️ I love my job. I just do. I am an Adjunct Professor of Organizational Studies and a Senior Faculty of Executive Education, at The Schulich School of Business, York University in Toronto.

I teach and design live and virtual graduate and undergraduate courses in Organizational Behaviour (OB) and Strategic Management. I am boundlessly grateful that I get to work with students just starting out, those who are growing through graduate studies and other leaders, managers and professionals, looking to learn about OB, at various stages of their careers.

I love the people and the ways I myself get to be a continuous learner - new topics, advances in the field and cool tech to support it all.

🌎 The 1000's of stories from students', leaders’, managers’ and other professionals' decisions, and challenges gives me a desire to create a world where business is a source for income and for social good. Where business and personal development go hand in hand.

👨🏻‍💻 I also spend time (on and off) as a writer, with work appearing in several publications and platforms, like Medium! I consider myself a beginner re. writing.

🌉 My own favorite thinking and writing topics are those that build bridges between personal/leadership development and psychology/cognitive science.

📚 I like to read, write and learn about progressive perspectives on how to integrate and think about organizational behaviour, behavioural economics, complexity science, systems thinking, social skills development, career development, social psychology, human resource management, inclusion, mental health and some others.
