He’s Canada’s best ever General, and former Chief of Defence Staff – the Canadian Forces highest rank.
I’m not fangirling here, that’s his repuation. Ask a soldier, that’s how you know.
And given it was Canada Day Weekend, this seems fitting.
I was invited to the Art Of Leadership conference, see the full set of speakers here, you’ll know some. I’ve said before – they’re quality conferences.
I’ve attended many conferences over the years, one time I went to Internet World 1999. Imagine something called that happening today? Ha.
Not surprising is whom I worked my day around, having only time to see one speaker ;)
Meet General Rick Hillier at his website here, and watch him on The Hour here. Read a good article about his accomplishments and mode of operation here.
He spoke about leadership, and enamoured the crowd. You’d be too, he is magnetic.
Know what’s weird? I took copious notes throughout… and they’re gone. I’d emailed them to myself, I don’t even know how that’s possible.
‘Leadership’ by General Rick Hillier
Thanks for having me, Art of Leadership!
I’ll leave you with this:
Thank you Canadian Forces, for doing a job I could not, so I’m free and safe to skip around Canada having a blog and making videos and doing as I please.
