Summer 2023 marked a significant milestone in my life—I turned 50!
In dealing with the stark realization that I wasn’t 20 anymore, I spent time reflecting on my life’s journey and created a list of what I felt were 50 important lessons I had learned throughout my first 50 years.

One conversation that comes up regularly in my coaching work with clients is EQ. However, I believe it’s the little known and poorly understood PQ that really moves the needle on personal growth and performance in work and life.

The personal choices of employees are their own to make. However, companies also have a vested interest in ensuring that each person is as healthy, engaged, and high performing as possible. Balancing the nuances of this gray area is one of the most challenging aspects of leadership and corporate culture.
Doing it well requires a customized blend of access to information, clear communication, leadership strategy, and employee engagement. The combination of these factors are important components of your unique corporate culture recipe.
Today’s episode brings up a topic that’s traditionally within the employees personal choice, but the health risk is important for companies to understand and mitigate. Similar to the challenges from smoking, excess drinking and drugs, or other unhealthy behaviours, companies that can engage, inform, and help guide healthier choices in employee populations will see outsized financial, operational, and corporate culture returns.
This episode brings my background in Health Coaching and Performance to the forefront and combines it with the challenges facing companies, leaders, and the quest for improved workplace wellbeing.
I look forward to your thoughts and comments. I encourage you to reach out and engage in the conversation!
