Recently at a WXN Breakfast in Calgary, 2007 WXN Top 100 Hall of Fame inductee and Corporate Director Kathleen Sendall was interviewed by WXN founder, Pamela Jeffery as they delved into a variety of questions. We think Kathy’s ‘Top 10’ list makes pretty good sense and is also a great conversation starter. Here are Kathy’s ‘Top 10’: 1. Never give up the search for the perfect mascara. 2. Never lose your sense of humour and ability to laugh, especially at yourself. 3. Listen - learn to keep your mouth shut and control your temper. Recent Posts

We’ve been discussing modern-day fairy godmothers lately on Sister Leadership, and so it is my honour to share with you a conversation we had with Denise Amyot, President and CEO of the Canadian Science and Technology Museums Corporation (CSTMC), “whose mandate is to foster scientific and technological literacy throughout the country,” regarding what it takes to be a great leader, mentor and example of innovation. In this post, you will learn her six core values for leadership with impact, and hear of examples when these values had practical applications.

Do fairy godmothers really exist? Fair enough if you respond to that question with: “Do unicorns that gallop across rainbows really exist?” – except the difference here is that I’m being serious. YES, fairy godmothers exist, however in our 21st century world they’re more likely to wave their magical Smartphone and pass you an enchanted business card. Oh, and they don’t go by the label of ‘fairy godmother’, instead we simply call them women of success and knowledge, who are mentors and sponsors to those around them. |
