- #8 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_bottom_line Over the last 50 years, environmentalists and "social justice" advocates have struggled to bring a broader definition of bottom line into public consciousness by introducing full cost accounting. For example, if a corporation shows a monetary profit, but their asbestos mine causes thousands of deaths from asbestosis, and their copper mine pollutes a river, and the government ends up spending taxpayer money on health care and river clean-up, how do we perform a full societal cost benefit analysis? An example of an organization seeking a triple bottom line would be a social enterprise run as a non-profit, but earning income by offering opportunities for handicapped people who have been labelled "unemployable", to earn a living recycling. The organization earns a profit, which is controlled by a volunteer Board, and ploughed back into the community. The social benefit is the meaningful employment of disadvantaged citizens, and the reduction in the society's welfare or disability costs. The environmental benefit comes from the recycling accomplished.

After years devoted to the legal profession, Jackson has taken a break to follow his passion as an artist. Artistically, he works in Coast Salish design. As Jackson has continued to develop his own artwork to a higher level, he has had the privilege of collaborating with many amazing local artists. Inspired, Jackson has devoted much of his time to the protection of artists’ rights and has spearheaded the Authentic Indigenous Arts program with AtBC. Spirit Works takes pride in the workshops we provide for our young ones. Throughout the years we’ve developed a number of workshops aimed at not only providing the participants with a great amount of enjoyment but also offering them teachings. In Aboriginal culture we learned primarily through artwork which was and is our written language. When we are taught how to make something we are also taught a range of lessons surrounding the creation of that piece. After the completion of the piece we are left with a constant reminder of those teachings. Several times a year, through organizations such as Friendship Centers, and Urban Native Youth Association, Spirit Works donates instruction and materials to youth wanting to learn about our Culture through art.
- #10 http://www.macleans.ca/work/jobs/the-future-of-jobs-in-canada/ country transitions to a so-called knowledge economy that relies on a well-trained and highly educated workforce to produce value-added products and services. The country is in dire need of engineers, health workers and skilled tradespeople. nearly half of all adults don’t have the necessary literacy and numeracy skills to participate in a modern economy. A highly connected world means greater competition but also more opportunity for entrepreneurs to create businesses that fill a product or service gap. Job security is a thing of the past. Now you must brand YOU as a product and/or service as much as you’d brand a business. The first place an employer or potential partner or client will go to learn about you is LinkedIn.

- #21 We tend to remember the opening and closing of a presentation the best. End strong and get the audience to take action. Summarize your key points. Repeat your message. Then make a clear call to action that follows logically from what's preceded it. Scott Schwertly, CEO of the presentation design company Ethos3, asks, "If you don’t have a call to action within your talk, then why in the world do you give it?” Veteran speaking expert Nancy Duarte predicts that presentations will become ever more interactive
