Analysis on risk, pressure, and decision-making across systems.
The CORE Series brings together analyses on risk, pressure, and decision-making across sectors. Each piece focuses on how issues emerge, how signals are missed or misread, and why outcomes are often shaped well before they’re publicly visible.
The goal is simple: surface patterns early, clarify what matters, and create space for better judgment before decisions are forced.
Speaking Across Worlds: Cross-Cultural Communication Isn’t Just Translation — It’s Transformation
In cross-cultural spaces, clarity isn't enough—respect is essential. This #COREseries explores why Indigenous communication begins with listening, not translation, and how true allyship means doing the work to understand lived experience on its own terms.
6 Centuries of Reckoning
Every time I’ve been honoured to meet with Indigenous people, I come away with a deep appreciation for how they approach life, history and progress. There’s no doubt they view the world differently than how many of us have been taught. They take the time to get to know you – because so much of how they interact with others is based on the ability to trust and know who we are as individuals. They aren’t transactional (unlike how many organizations and individuals approach things) and we can all learn from this.
After a series of Indigenous events and ceremonies I had the honour of sharing some of the learnings. Find out about the cross-cultural connections - and the lessons we can bring into our lives as we learn from Indigenous traditions.
