The Video: My First Presentation on Innerpreneurs

by | Jul 13, 2009 | Innerpreneurship, My Journey | What's On My Mind

The Scene:

Anxious 74/365

A small auditorium of 100 business men and women in a business park outside Lisbon. Most are Portuguese entrepreneurs and venture capitalists.

I am on the Entrepreneurship panel with three other speakers. A mayor passionate about sustainability from Ericeira, Portugal and two bio-technology innovators.

The Speech:

I was more dynamic live, where you could see my slides too. They really drove the presentation. And it distracted the viewer from my nervous rambling.

My intention was to highlight why people (specifically the business community) should care about innerpreneurs.

Happy Canada Day!

Being Spiritual in a Religious World

Parzival - Returning from the other Side (Matrix)

I don’t practice a religion, unless you consider Christmas a religion. I was baptized Anglican but as soon as I could make my own decisions, I determined Christianity was not for me. I’ve never liked being told what and how to think about things. And God is a big one.

Flash forward 10+ years later and I find myself madly in love with a Jewish man. We love each other passionately but we are told that it can’t work, it won’t work and that our life together will be too hard.
