Blessed with more bravery than smarts, I am a very #LuckyGuy. Join me at http://foursimplewords.ca for a conversation about the power of Service Leadership

Our @the4simplewords #ServiceInAction papers are going to help us explore what good service looks like. Our first edition is a powerful story we all can learn from. I hope u will take 10 min to read it and let us know what u think. #ServiceLeadership

Our first Service In Action is out💻 An inspiring story about Emma Smith and her extraordinary act of donating her kidney to her life partner, Ben. A story of kindness and service, both of which Service Leaders use. Read our full paper here: ow.ly/1F2q50P2bGF

. @jborthwik commitment to authentic service is apparent in all that he does and proven by the impact he has had on Guelph. He is a great #ServiceLeader I am excited about John4.0 and am glad the new job means we can keep up our coffee dates! guelphtoday.com/local-news/rev…


An IRL Friday coffee with the smart, thoughtful and visionary @shakiba_s is a gift and a reminder of the great community we live in. #Guelph is lucky to have Shakiba's head and heart involved in so many conversations. #ServiceLeadership #StrongCommunityStrongBusiness


Hey @riverfestelora it is the morning!!! When do we get to see that lineup!?!?! #SooooExcited


A friend's story about recovery from surgery prompted this week's @the4simplewords blog post. Yes, we should take that meal and offer support. AND, let's make sure we are in service to what they actually need, rather than what we want them to need. Have a listen & read below.

Bringing meals is a tradition that crosses cultures & languages🍜 Those of us dropping off home-cooked meals can make sure we have the impact we want by checking in with ourselves to ensure we understand what we are in service to. Read more on the blog: ow.ly/1NlP50MPpq0



My writing this week has me reflecting on the power of words, how meaning can change as we grow and why it's up to each of us to be ready to let some language go. #ServiceLeadership #FourSimpleWords

How do white rabbits and #BlackHistoryMonth connect? For me, one is a reminder of how much learning I have to do about the other. This week I write about the gift of language my other grandmother has given me. Read more on the #FourSimpleWords blog 📝 foursimplewords.ca/white-rabbits/

This week's @the4simplewords blog post has me looking in the mirror and asking what is the real power of a sticker and flag? Just between us, I'm not happy with the answer. #IsNotAboutMe

When is F-150 not just a truck? What does my reaction to the flag and sticker on the back say about me? A quick dismissal of how others want to be seen damages them and me. Learn how two wise women have helped me better accept everyone’s need to belong. foursimplewords.ca/when-is-a-truc…



As leaders we need to be looking after ourselves so we can serve those around us. A few Four Simple Words thoughts on the debt we owe @jacindaardern & @LauraMaeLindo for their courage and leadership.

We can learn much from leaders who choose to move into new opportunities. This week @jacindaardern & @LauraMaeLindo show us why thinking about the next is serving ourselves and others. More thoughts in this weeks @the4simplewords blog post. foursimplewords.ca/leaving-to-ser…

To be pushed so clearly from thought. All else but the fray before me. Was to know a furious quiet. Yearning to be shattered.

I used to think that giving blood was me helping others. Turns out it was me helping me…and others! Service Leadership embraces the idea that I should feel good while helping others. Read about this and my unique chromosome makeup in this week's post. ow.ly/QQh250MqzUn

In my early 30s, I was feeling really sluggish which was unusual for my high energy and normal go-go-go. And while it was a busy time of life  — I was a single, self-employed father of two rebuilding...

We want to make 2023 a #YearOfService. Our first posting this year is about one simple tool that Service Leaders use to align their actions and values.

The ego-driven madness we are seeing in the US House of Representatives is an example of leaders who are not transparent (or even fully aware) of what they are in service to. Read about the simple tool Service Leaders use to focus on the right things. ow.ly/xt0050MkeQm



Happy New Year! Let’s make 2023 a #YearOfService
