Fellow white women (if you are triggered, you may want to keep reading): I attended a three-part workshop by Erin Corine Johnson last week, and this is the follow-on. ⬇️ Early-bird registration is now. If last week's series was any evidence, this workshop will provide a space for honest discussion about what we, as white women, can do to move ourselves along on our journey toward accompliceship, wherever we are starting from. I am doing this for a couple of reasons: I am raising a white daughter outside of the US and in a very white area. I need to keep doing this work so she can grow up more aware than I did. The context in the US is specific to our history, yes. But if we are being honest, there are strong parallels with Western Europe and lessons that apply. I want to keep learning those lessons. Living abroad long-term (it's been 25+ years for me, first Turkey, then France) as an American is a strange experience. As a "liberal", it can be tempting to believe what's happening in the US doesn't concern me and that I'm not responsible for it. And yet, "I" am. A majority of "nice white ladies" of my generation (X) voted the way they voted. I have read enough to understand the reasons. Just observing and understanding is not enough. I want to do something about it. I am growing my business. And this will soon mean more people. Contractors, suppliers, customers, employees...Values alignment is important, but there are systemic injustices I need to be more aware of when deciding where to spend my time and money. I always just assumed my business was too small to do much. In every decision we make going forward, even if it costs a little more or takes more time, we need to make sure our resources are going where they can make the most impact. I believe this workshop will help with that. See you there?

There is a fine line between the Toyota Production System (TPS) and Lean. Lean originated from the study of TPS in the 1980s and has since evolved with contributions from various scholars and researchers. TPS, on the other hand, has continuously grown and improved based on its own core principles. Over the past 40 years, TPS has evolved, and some of its elements may not be fully reflected in Lean concepts today. It is beneficial to deeply understand both TPS and Lean, exploring their similarities and differences. By doing so, one can develop a pragmatic approach to applying these concepts, as both offer exceptional ways of thinking and improving processes. #TPS

 P. BRIJLALL      After a workplace accident, WSIB put me through hell and made my injuries twice as worse  permanently then robbed me of my benefits just because of the colour of my skin. Sandra Di Carlo the case manager took me out from physio therapy that was helping me with my recovery and sent me to wsib Doctor and physio therapy that made my injuries twice as worse permanently. Deb Remekie, The lady at WSIB that robbed me of my benefit, she said that I can sell jewelry, she thinks because I am black I can steal jewelry and sell, so she decided to rob me of my benefit. And it's not a joke she said it verbally and in writing. And believed it or not the APPEALS TRIBUNAL agreed with her without a doubt or any question Atal. The Tribunal did not look at my file, apparently they don't even care to look at my file. THIS ORGANIZATION SHOULD OF NOT EXIST IN CANADA    THIS IS CANADA; WHAT A SHAME  Doug Ford <[email protected]> Thank you for reaching out with details about your experience with the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB). I hope you’ll understand that, as Premier, it would be inappropriate for me to comment on or ministry staff cannot comment on or get involved in individual cases.  intervene in your situation with the WSIB.

The WSIB is an independent organization that operates at arm’s length from the ministry and oversees the administration of workplace safety and insurance benefits and services.

It's inspiring to see business owners dedicating their time to learning and evolving together. It requires openness, honesty, and transparency, which means being vulnerable enough to acknowledge weaknesses or blind spots and being receptive to others' input for personal growth.
