Are we in a work ethic crisis? That’s the questio Are we in a work ethic crisis?

That’s the question behind my latest Substack, where I take a closer look at work ethic, purpose and why doing something exceptionally HAS TO matter.

It also got me thinking about the books that have shaped how I think about purpose, discipline, growth and excellence. 📚

So I pulled together 13 books that have stayed with me and influenced how I show up, both personally and professionally.

Some are about work. Some are about purpose. All have something to say about becoming the best you you can be for yourself and for those around you. 

Swipe through and let me know which one you’d add to your reading list!👇

What does it mean to build a community? 🤔🏡 A deve What does it mean to build a community? 🤔🏡

A development may start with homes and infrastructure, but a true community is built through people, connection and a shared sense of belonging.

When @nkpr.inc first started working with @dbsdevelopments, the @BelaSquareApartments community was at a very different stage. 94 Eastdale Ave was newly leased, while 100 Eastdale was still under construction. Today, the new high-rise residences are leasing and more residents are becoming part of the community.

What I’ve always admired about #DBSDevelopments is that they understand building a community is about more than the buildings themselves. It also means investing in the neighbourhood and the people who make it what it is.

As Bela Square continued to evolve, we saw an opportunity to bring new and existing residents together while spotlighting the local businesses that help make the neighbourhood special. That idea became the inaugural DBS Summer Market at Secord Park—a place for people to connect and for local businesses to be seen, supported and celebrated. 🖤

We were also pleased to welcome @bradfordgrams, Toronto City Councillor for Ward 19, Beaches–East York, and a current candidate for Mayor of Toronto. He spent time experiencing the market and meeting the local businesses and residents who make the neighbourhood so special.

For me, the work doesn’t end when construction does. It continues by creating opportunities for people to connect, supporting the local businesses that make a neighbourhood special and investing in its future as it grows and evolves.

Because ultimately, the best developments don’t just change a skyline. They become part of the fabric of a neighbourhood. 🏙️🖤

It was such a privilege to speak with @deloittecan It was such a privilege to speak with @deloittecanada’s Women’s Impact Group, with hundreds joining online from around the world for a conversation about the power of showing up, leading with purpose and embracing every stage of your journey. The thoughtful questions and warm welcome made for such a meaningful afternoon.

Showing up has always been one of the guiding principles of my life. I even gave a TED Talk on the subject several years ago because I believe so deeply that the way we show up—for ourselves, for others and for the moments that matter—shapes the impact we have on the world.

To show up is to be 100 percent present. To listen, to care and to give your very best to whatever, and whoever, is in front of you. It means showing up for yourself, but equally, showing up for others. When we offer someone our full attention, our effort and our care, we make them feel seen, supported and valued. That kind of presence can strengthen a relationship, change an experience and, sometimes, change the direction of someone’s life.

A heartfelt thank you to @hannaheinhorn_ for bringing this conversation to life, and to @deloittecanada for the invitation and generous donation to @artistsforpeace, an organization very close to my heart that uses education as a catalyst for meaningful change in Haiti.

And to everyone who joined us, thank you for showing up and for being part of such a thoughtful and inspiring afternoon. 🖤🙏
