    Why did my WCB premiums increase?

    Everyone likes surprises when you get money. Nobody likes surprises that cost you money. Especially when you've been doing all you can to keep expenses low. When you've tried to do the right thing, but out of nowhere the WCB springs a bill on you that you didn't expect.  What's worse, there isn't much of an understanding why. There is no explanation. Only there was a recalculation and you owe them money.  In this episode I share the 3 most common reasons WCB premiums increase and what you can do about it.  Do you have an idea for an episode?

    Why we choke during major incidents

    Whether your front line workers, the CEO, or someone in between, you have a job to do. That job is never more important than when there is pressure to achieve a result. That's because you're often counted on meeting that pressure and getting the job done.  Yet, we've all seen it. Professional athletes falling short at the most critical times. Co-workers being unable to do the simplest things because the "pressure got to them." How you deal with pressure can not only determine your own success and mental health, but also the success of the organization that counts on you.  Drawing on my experience in workers compensation, professional football, and as a mental performance coach, I'll discuss the common situations that cause us pressure and 4 things you can do to overcome it.  Want to get in touch with me directly?
