In June, we gather the ED Room community in recognition of two important celebrations: Pride and Indigenous Peoples Day. Both are rooted in histories of resistance, resilience, and the ongoing work of communities who have transformed struggle into strength. Register now: https://lnkd.in/gSQS-apM

“Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.” ~ Søren Kierkegaard Yesterday, I had the privilege of facilitating a Futures Thinking workshop for Edmonton Chamber of Voluntary Organizations and Imagine Canada’s Region Roundtable, where local nonprofit leader imagined what the sector could look like in 2036. The conversations and ideas generated during the workshop were engaging, thoughtful, and inspiring because the leaders in the room understood a key leadership skill: navigating paradox. The session required participants to hold the tension between the fact that data is backward-looking while creativity is forward-looking. Foresight emerges when we can hold both past learning and future possibilities at the same time. To support this challenging cognitive process, we used a tool called Rich Pictures. Rich Pictures invite participants to use drawings and symbols, rather than words alone, to illustrate a situation or system. Drawing allows us to think through symbols instead of language, tapping into different neural pathways that can open up more holistic, nuanced, and innovative ways of understanding complex systems. As an educator and facilitator, I have often witnessed how people’s self-perceptions about their ability to draw can influence participation in exercises like this. And yet, even though many leaders initially expressed discomfort or uncertainty with the approach, as we moved deeper into the process, I witnessed their ability to navigate paradox once again: I may not consider myself an artist. And I can still draw the vision of the future I want to help create. I’m deeply grateful to both the leadership at ECVO and the nonprofit leaders in the room for trusting me to guide this collaborative visioning process. I truly believe that by thinking boldly, creatively, and collectively, we can begin taking the steps needed to bring that future to life.

Today was one of those days that reminded me why I love working in this sector. I had the opportunity to work the Edmonton Chamber of Voluntary Organizations booth, alongside Sierra Jamerson, at the IMPACT 2026 Conference hosted by Alberta Council of Disability Services and spent the day connecting with organizations supporting people with disabilities across Edmonton and throughout Alberta. So many good conversations, thoughtful people, and organizations doing deeply important work in our communities. I left the conference learning a lot and with even more appreciation for the work happening across the province. Right after, I made my way straight to the open house for the new Centre for Autism Services Alberta location (Centre 104). Huge congratulations to Jonathan Robb and the entire team on this milestone. The new space is beautiful, welcoming, and clearly built with a lot of care and intention behind it. What really stayed with me was hearing about how this expansion will allow them to support even more participants and families who have been waiting to access programs and services. Even with the larger space, the waitlist is still long, which really speaks to how needed this work is in our community. Days like this always remind me how relationship-driven this sector is. There is so much meaningful work happening across Alberta, and it’s always energizing being in spaces with people who care deeply about their work and the communities they serve. #ECVO #ACDS #Impact2026 #community #CFASA
