In this episode, we sit down with a veteran leader whose 31-year career in the Canadian Forces, including service with the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry and the Canadian Airborne Regiment, has shaped his deep understanding of leadership, trust, and accountability. A distinguished graduate of the U.S. Joint and Combined Forces Staff College, he has also served as a CEO, board chair, entrepreneur, and community builder, continuing a lifelong commitment to service and mentorship.

Together, we explore how true accountability begins with the leader, not through commands but by asking better questions, building trust, and helping others create their own path to shared goals. Drawing from decades of military and organizational experience, he shares practical insights on guiding teams toward ownership, commitment, and high performance, lessons that resonate in every field where leadership and integrity matter most.

In this episode, we explore the framework of perceptual positions as a powerful tool for leaders to navigate situations from multiple perspectives. By shifting between “my view,” “your view,” and the integrated “our view,” leaders can better understand dynamics, foster collaboration, and resolve challenges with greater clarity. To bring this to life, we’re joined by Gina Huston, a seasoned project manager from the City of Toronto, who has led complex initiatives and vendor collaborations across various municipal divisions. With expertise in project management, stakeholder relationships, and navigating high-pressure environments, Gina shares how applying perceptual positions can strengthen leadership and teamwork.

In this episode, we’re joined by Shira Yoskovitch, Strategic Advisor to global supply chain, retail, and tech organizations, to explore the art and science of setting priorities. Shira breaks down how to define what truly matters, align teams even amid disagreement, and keep priorities dynamic as things change. Whether you're leading a small team or a global function, Shira offers actionable advice to help you spark clarity, drive alignment, and move forward.
