If you are looking for the perfect job, or a change of career, you could do a lot worse than joining the Olympic movement as a member of the board. Not only are you responsible for promoting amateur athletic sport both in your country, and around the globe (a very worthy endeavour), you will also live the life of a Banana Republic potentate by everyone you meet on the planet, with the possible exception of your wife. When you also consider many athletes are no longer amateur, but millionaires fr…

So who is against this global event convening in their back yard? Well, don’t expect a cogent answer from the media.
In our City there are two major groups that continually upbraid the populace for supporting The Games. One is native-rights group that state that the land the games are being contested on is stolen, and belongs to them. Given that a second’s thought? Good – let’s move on.

Four months from today, the Vancouver & Whistler Winter Olympics begin – or the 19th Winter Olympiad. Whichever name you prefer probably means how you look at the ownership of the event: It either belongs to the Host City, or the International Olympic Committee that runs it.

I remember, in the mid-90’s, complaining that IT had become the Master, not the slave. Because everything appeared to work much faster online than in my mind, I bemoaned the fact that it was the speed of my desk top that was driving what I did on a daily basis, not how fast I could get something completed. Of course, working for a small business then, we were constantly under the impression that there were competitive companies out there that were matching their speed of thought and action to th…

Have you ever wished that there were a few less people in your Yoga class: Tired of the hunt for space and personalised time with your teacher?
When Dr. Ernest Ho, the Founder and CEO of Unihealth Group designed his new fusion Yoga program “:ACUYOGA”, one of the main components was the time spent with each student: “When dealing with people’s pain, any practitioner has to spend time with that individual” says the long time Vancouver multi-discipline practitioner. “It is imperative that you trea…

God, How I hate that word! When I was starting out, this is all I ever heard. It prefaced every argument and conversation. I couldn't get a single piece of information without listening to someone question my staying power, and positive mindset.
In one incredibly 'Kafa-esque' episode, I couldn't post on a forum to get answers to similar responses because I was being too negative, and didn't have a positive angle to my question. Considering that my question was about how to get feedback, because…
