Great leaders don’t just manage time. They protect it with intention 🌱

In Part 7 of her biweekly series, Penny Izlakar explores what it really means to take control of your time and energy as a leader. From shifting away from constant busyness to embracing time-blocking, no-meeting zones, and energy awareness, she shares how intentional structure creates space for deeper thinking and stronger leadership.

Leadership is not about being available for everything. It is about being intentional with what deserves your attention.

Great leaders do more than manage tasks. They coach people to grow 🌱

In Part 5 of her biweekly series, Penny Izlakar explores the shift from directing work to developing people. By asking thoughtful questions and empowering others to find their own solutions, leaders build confidence, strengthen trust, and unlock the full potential of their teams.

Leadership is not about having all the answers. It is about creating the space for others to discover theirs.

Want to turn your volunteer hours into real leadership experience? ✨

In this video, Emma-Leigh Johnston, Co Chair of the Emerging Leaders Placement Project Youth Steering Committee, shares how this national initiative connects youth across Canada with meaningful volunteer opportunities.

Through the program, youth aged 14 to 30 are intentionally matched with nonprofit organizations that align with their interests, goals, and passion for community impact. Volunteers can also track their hours, build leadership skills, and see the impact youth are making across the country.

If you’re ready to move beyond just collecting volunteer hours and want to gain real leadership experience, the Emerging Leaders Placement Project is the place to start.

Feedback is a growth engine for leaders 🚀

In Part 4 of her biweekly series, Penny Izlakar explores how courageous feedback, given and received with intention, accelerates leadership development. When we treat feedback as data, not drama, we close blind spots, strengthen trust, and create teams that grow together.

Leadership is not about being liked. It is about caring enough to share the truth and listen with openness.
