Develop Your People for Success Now – Why Micro-learning Opportunities are the Way of the Future
The recent pace of change has increased the need for targeted, just-in-time learning. Here are four reasons to invest in a micro-learning approach.
How To Be A More Intentional Leader
Lead. It’s a verb. Not unlike a high-performing athlete that mitigates injury and reaches performance goals by being intentional in every move they make, if we lead our teams with intentionality we can achieve better and more predictable outcomes. Without intentional leadership, teams can lose confidence in their company’s goals and become less effective, feeling like there is no well-thought-out plan. This disengagement often leads to the loss of key talent.
Six ways to accelerate your team through the forming (and re-forming) phases
The four waves of the pandemic and the resulting changes to the workplace, have put psychologist Bruce Tuckman’s first two phases of team development through what feels like a revolving door. As new employees join your group, others may leave, or teams may work differently moving back and both between remote, office and hybrid models, teams are forming and re-forming constantly as team members get to know each other, and experience a wide range of emotions from fear to excitement about the future.
Maintaining Focus
Keep it simple wherever you can.
How many times have you been in a meeting and wondered, “What the heck am I doing here? Why are these other people in this meeting? And what is the purpose of this discussion?” How often are you trying to make a decision and realize that there are too many factors or too many stakeholders involved?
At Bright Wire, we believe in navigating complex situations and finding a way to make them as simple as possible.
As a leader, it is your role to help your people quiet the noise, which will help your team become more efficient and productive. Here are three strategies to implement today to drive results through simplicity.
Future Ready
In a city as dynamic as Calgary, our most valuable resource has never been oil. It has always been the talent and work ethic of leaders and teams across our city fueling the economic engine. Now, more than ever, it is important to invest in these people to enable innovation to invest in these people to enable innovation and growth to chart the course for what comes next.
Leading Beyond Resilience
Be resilient. That has been the message since the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. Adapt, pivot, sustain; these have become rallying cries for business leaders
over the past nine months. Resilience may have gotten us this far, but at Bright Wire, we believe it’s time to consider what comes
after resilience.
Millennials and Gen Y want to create an impact. Here’s how to give them the opportunity to do so before someone else does.

Leaders don’t know what they don’t know.
Leaders today are leading in the moment. This bold notion may resonate with you since it’s a common concern that many of the leaders we’re partnering with are facing. The challenges of a remote workforce, changing missions and pivoting operations mean that leaders only have the capacity to focus on the day-day demands of their role and the immediate needs of their team. As we emerge from the intense period brought on by the pandemic, and as uncomfortable as it may feel, it is now time for leaders to deliberately spend more time planning for the future to drive business strategy and show new results.
