, aka MH, uniquely bridges business and psychology. With a Ph.D. in Psychology and an MBA, MH has had an extensive career as a leadership psychologist, executive coach, and senior leader in the corporate, insurance and governance sectors. Her award-winning book, , was named a “Top 5 Book to Read” by Inc. Magazine and Forbes. During our interview, MH discussed her formative years, her educational journey in Quebec, her diverse professional development experiences, and her evolution from psychology into management. We delved into the importance of resilience, flexibility, strategic planning, and the integration of psychology and business for leaders and professionals. As a child growing up in Quebec City, MH enjoyed family trips to outdoor locations beyond the city, where she had the chance to explore and experience a sense of adventure and taking risks. She related this concept of adventure to her early career experiences as a psychologist when she lived in a more remote area of Quebec where mental health services were not plentiful. Yet, the needs were great in various settings. MH prepared herself to work there by taking additional courses to expand her credentials, enabling her to work in the courts, schools, and hospitals. She had to be strategic in this way to make a living doing work she felt was most important. Within the year, however, her plans changed, and she moved across the country to British Columbia to pursue her Ph.D. That presented some challenges as the rules regulating her psychology credentials varied between the provinces, and she had to take a few extra steps to achieve her goal. While on that journey, MH was able to develop other work options by asserting herself and taking some risks. It all paid off. Today, MH combines her business and clinical expertise, translating research about health, performance, resilience, and overcoming challenges into strategies professionals, leaders, and their teams need to thrive. She is a Member of the Global Clinical Practice Network of the World Health Organization and a past Director on the boards of the Canadian Psychological Association and the International Association of Applied Psychology. She has presented and authored numerous industry and academic publications, and many academic and industry awards have recognized her work. MH is a highly rated instructor at the University of British Columbia, Sauder School of Business, Executive Education. She is a member of the Harvard Business Review Advisory Council, an opt-in research community of business professionals. Learn more and connect with Dr. Pelletier here:

Ep 507 - A Bleak Market for EVs Guest: Adam Pankratz   By Stuart McNish   “Little did we know how fast the free market would slap the electric vehicle mandate back to reality, while Canadian taxpayers continue to subsidize green fantasies,” says Adam Pankratz, a lecturer at the University of British Columbia's Sauder School of Business. The “slap” is in reference to plummeting sales of electric vehicles in North America.   Pankratz says, “The signs emerged in September 2023 when Volkswagen announced it was ‘cutting EV output' due to low demand and in November, Ford announced it would ‘be scaling back' EV battery production due to lackluster demand.”    As the new year emerged, EV news stayed on the same trendline. Pankratz said, “General Motors, Mercedes Benz and even Tesla warned EV sales were projected to be significantly lower than predicted.” Add in Hertz's decision to sell off most of its EVs and the message is clear – the market is cool on electric cars. We invited Adam Pankratz to join us for a Conversation That Matters on the trajectory of electric vehicle sales and what that says about government directives versus market forces.

Why are you trying to get into this? Is it because everybody has told you it's the place to make money? I would say maybe not right? It's still, pretty hard to make money in this space. You know, really know your why in terms of why do you want to do this?

Stephen Simpson started off his career as an engineer, in the corporate world learning many aspects of construction and renovation, including negotiation. He started looking for ways to make additional money, including side hustles, etc and real estate was one thing he considered. He purchased his first residential property, and along the way completed about 12 deals for single family, student rentals and short term rentals. He realized that residential would not give him the financial freedom he desired, so he moved into commercial real estate. His corporate skills came in handy as he negotiated bigger deals than residential, and has not looked back. Commercial properties are typically valued by their cash flow, so with greater cash flow comes greater residual value.

The Business of Meetings – Episode 143 – How to Keep Your Best People with Mike Desjardins We are delighted to be speaking with Mike Desjardins today! Mike is an amazing development leader! He created a company called ViRTUS that works with large corporations to help them with leadership development.  Mike is with us today to discuss his business and developing a company culture.  We hope you enjoy listening to today's fascinating conversation with Mike Desjardins! Bio: MIKE DESJARDINS: At the heart of ViRTUS is our CEO, Mike. Mike is emotionally intelligent and driven. His core motivation is to make a difference in the lives of others. That is to say, his passion is creating positive change for his colleagues, clients, and community. With a Bachelor of Commerce from UBC's Sauder School of Business, a CPHR designation, and over two decades of experience transforming businesses, he is a master in the realm of strategy and leadership development. From entrepreneurial businesses to large public companies and public-sector organizations, Mike focuses on driving return on investment in every client engagement. In June 2002, the Entrepreneurs' Organization (EO) invited Mike to become a member. After spending six years on the board, he served as President of the Vancouver Chapter. In January 2006, Mike was the recipient of the BIV Top 40 Under 40 Award. From 2010-2016, Mike sat on the board of directors for the Human Resource Management Association of BC (now CPHR BC). Since 2017, Mike has been a member of the Advisory Board of Robinson Group. Mike focuses on strategy, growth, and vision for ViRTUS. Passionate about leveraging his team, he engages them all in co-creating ViRTUS's future vision and determining their role in it. Above all, ViRTUS is his vehicle to empower leaders, both within the company and among our clients. Mike is passionate about skiing, yoga, running, CrossFit, and anything in the self-improvement bucket. In his community, his focus is on what he can do for others, and he loves nothing more than spending time with his daughter and wife. Mike's journey Mike's story began when he was in his second year of college when a company offered to pay for the rest of his business school tuition in return for him working for them after he graduated. That turned into a ten-year journey, which led to him becoming president of the second-largest division of that company.  A journey of personal exploration Mike achieved all the goals he wanted to have by the time he was thirty, just after he turned twenty-six. Although his life looked great on paper, he realized he did not enjoy the life he had created. That sent him on an eighteen-month journey of personal exploration to figure out what he truly wanted. Then an opportunity arose for him to do a startup. So he quit his job in 2000, joined the startup, and leaped into an uncertain future. A new business model  Over the next few years, Mike bought out all four other partners in the original business, which focused on developing leaders in peer groups. He did not want to replicate his previous life in which he traveled all the time, so he decided to go after what was ten percent of the business revenue and grow and expand that so he would not have to travel so much.  Surviving the recession When Mike's company lost half its revenue in September of 2008, he gave himself four months to get things working again. Just before his deadline, a utility company in British Columbia asked him to do some work for them the following year. They also asked him to pre-invoice them, which covered all his outstanding costs, and kept the company going. Big brands Soon after that, they landed five big brands. That put them on the map, so they leveraged those brands to get as many other companies as possible. That allowed them to spend the next ten years focusing on doing the work they love, developing leaders, from CEOs and executives to VPs, directors, high-potential leaders, and managers, with a firm grounding in emotional intelligence.  Mark's decision to build a great life Part of Mark's decision to build a great life came from him recognizing that his father's premature decline and early passing as a result of Parkinson's disease; Lewy body dementia, could also happen to him.  Holidays Mark insists everyone on his team takes their vacation every year rather than getting paid out for it, and everyone gets to take off the week in and around Christmas. In the summer when they are not so busy, he also gives his people “Half-day Friday's” so they get more time to enjoy the good weather! Flexibility Mark's employees are given the flexibility to take time off during the week to get their hair cut, do some shopping, or pick up their kids from school. Accountability Mark's business has a very high level of accountability, and everyone looks out for everyone else. That is why it works so well! Culture A big challenge with company culture is not letting things slide. When they are allowed to slide, it says that things are okay and that eventually becomes part of the culture. Similarly, exceptions must get recognized as exceptions.  A deeper level of empathy As a result of the pandemic, there's been a fundamental shift over the last two years that resulted in a need for leaders to have a deeper level of empathy.   Mark's prediction Based on what we are seeing today, Mark predicts that the business world will change to a hoteling model in the future. That means people will no longer be expected to work in centralized offices from nine to five, Monday to Friday. Instead, they will work with a flexible hybridized model that allows them to come and go as they choose between their homes and company-owned offices, with empathy from their boss. Changing occupations He also thinks that many people will leave companies that are inflexible or change their occupations entirely and get into different lines of work.  Narcissistic leadership When fear gets in the way, people tend to do bad things. The same thing can happen to leaders with strong personalities.  Connect with Eric On LinkedIn On Facebook On Instagram On Website Connect with Mike Desjardins On his website On LinkedIn Books mentioned: Build: An Unorthodox Guide to Making Things Worth, Making by Tony Fadell

Birth control is a $65 billion industry. However, according to Reya Health, which is helping people find the right birth control for them, 75% of people who use birth control have some sort of side effect and1/3 take 5 methods and 2 years to find the right solution.   Dallas Barnes, Founder and CEO of Reya Health and Thara Vayali, a Naturopathic Doctor and Medical Advisor, speak about the following to address this challenge. Why is it important for patients to be informed about the different types of birth control available? Why is it important to learn which birth control is right for you? What are common birth control side effects?  How do you determine which birth control option to take?  How do you know when it might be time to switch your birth control? “It does not have to be behind the gate of the physician that says, “We did not want to tell you that you weren't actually getting a period.” We can tell people. They can handle it. Then they can make the decisions they want to make.” - Thara Vayali “In my personal opinion, birth control should not make someone uncomfortable. There is an adjustment period. You want to be prepared for it. If you are experiencing something you are uncomfortable with, let's have a conversation. What are you going to do about it?” - Dallas Barnes Follow Reya Health on Instagram Resources: The Business of Birth Control movie Spotify Playlist on Birth Control Topics   If you liked this episode and you're feeling generous, don't forget to leave a review on iTunes or Spotify!

After experiencing years of grueling trial and error trying to find a suitable contraceptive, Reya's founder and CEO set out to change the way we approach our search.

Here at Reya, we put the individual user at the center and create a personalized experience to guide them through their birth control journey. We want everyone using contraceptives (hormonal and non-hormonal) to have personalized and reliable information to make informed decisions for their unique situation.   Dallas Barnes (Founder & CEO): Dallas is a graduate from Sauder School of Business at UBC. Before Reya, Dallas mentored and coached small businesses, working closely with Indigenous entrepreneurs and helping them form strong business plans and growth strategies. Her negative experience navigating birth control and the notorious trial and error process inspired her to create the solution that she wished she had.   Thara Vayali (Medical Advisor): Thara is a Naturopathic Doctor with over a decade of experience in women's reproductive health, contraceptive counseling and female hormonal management. Thara ran a holistic health clinic for 10 years and now oversees technology solutions in clinical contexts. She speaks internationally for health literacy initiatives.

The race to reduce our carbon emissions is on—and many Canadian clean-tech companies and energy producers are working hard to get us there. While seemingly at odds with each other, energy security and climate security are now both possible.But we can't talk about the importance of achieving our climate and energy goals without first acknowledging the failings of our collective past when it comes to Canada's First Nations. And we can't plan our clean-energy transition without including Canada's Indigenous people—and embracing their leadership and ownership of energy projects.In this episode of Disruptors, an RBC podcast, host John Stackhouse speaks with two Indigenous business leaders on how to build a just and equitable energy transition: Mark Podlasly, director of economic policy at the First Nations Major Projects Coalition and an adjunct professor at UBC's Sauder School of Business; and Crystal Smith, chief councilor of the Haisla Nation and chair of the First Nations LNG Alliance.SHOW NOTES:The First Nations Major Projects Coalition is a collective of First Nations united to promote shared interests and gain ownership in the major developments in their territories.
