What are some alternative approaches to measuring success indicators?
Success indicators often gravitate towards tangible, quantifiable metrics, yet they might not encapsulate the entire narrative of success. It's crucial to foster a culture that embraces this complexity. When steering a team, engage in comprehensive debriefings on goals and objectives. Beyond metrics, emphasize extracting meaningful victories and setbacks. Sometimes, the most pivotal successes lie beyond numerical measures—be it in strengthened team dynamics, innovative problem-solving, or unexpected learning experiences. Incorporating qualitative assessments alongside traditional metrics offers a more holistic view of success, painting a fuller picture of achievements and areas for growth.

Through the support of Canadian Police Services, Police Service Boards, Amateur Athletic Associations, Sponsors and Volunteers, we created an exceptional awareness campaign for road safety and alcohol/drug awareness.
I also created a media campaign through literature, lectures, displays and marketing initiatives through television and print media including, CTV, City TV, TSN, Speedvision, RDS (Quebec TSN), Toronto Sun, Globe & Mail, Toronto Star, COPS Newsletters and other local print media across Canada.
