In our last talk, we tried to look at the future.

COVID-19 and the Illicit Drug Trade
The disruptive impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global economy is without precedent in the modern age.
COVID-19 and our New Normal
Imagine, it’s 2019. Some tells you, “Next year, people with masks will walk into banks and they won’t be a threat.” Would you believe them?
How Customer Focus Can Drive Innovation
“The source of innovation comes from having a deep sense of empathy.”
New Horizons
I spent what felt like a lifetime in my garden one afternoon; not necessarily doing anything…just being…just feeling…just existing. Honestly, it had been a while since I allowed myself to feel so present…since I allowed myself to be so still. To be immersed in pure consciousness, filtering out the noise and the humdrum that I had grown so use to. As I sat there, I began to think, if there is one thing I have repeatedly and rather foolishly forgotten to schedule into my life it is to create time where I am not bound to a schedule.
Navigating the Curve Together
More than a month into our nation’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic – the stay at home measures, increased emphasis on proper hygiene and physical distancing, regular media briefings and updates, and a rise in the use of virtual channels to do everything from schooling and work to banking/commerce and interacting – one can’t help but wonder: Where are we in the course of turning the tide in our favour? Have we done all that we can to achieve the desired outcomes? Have we made all the right calls?
