Announcement: No Longer With MITACS Inc.

I am no longer working for MITACS Inc. While I enjoyed my time there, and really enjoyed working closely with some of the people, it also felt incongruent and was exhausting.

I’m back full-time focusing on Parmasters Kitchener-Waterloo, and feeling far more congruent. This is what I’m meant to be doing at this moment in my career. This aligns with my values, goals, commitments and priorities. This is congruent.

I made a few wonderful friendships during my time with MITACS. These will most definitely continue. It’s a great company doing work that’s important to this region and the country as a whole.

For now it appears that my former role will be covered by the business development representative with whom I worked most closely. We shared the territory and divided responsibilities along industry lines. She will now cover all industries, and I wish her the best. Importantly, MITACS funding for research collaborations will continue to flow into Waterloo Region! That’s why I took on the role in the first place.

As noted in a previous post, we’re distributing Parmasters KW information, of interest to future members, investors, suppliers, etc., far and wide throughout the region. And we’re doing so in very cost-effective ways.

We’ve had a core team of stakeholders doing what they can to help bring our golf training center to fruition. Our focus now, as it should be, is on growing that team, immensely.

If you’d like to help distribute the Information Cards – to golfers, friends, family, colleagues that may be interested – please simply contact me. All assistance is greatly appreciated!

I’ll close with another of my favourite quotes.

“It does not take much strength to do things, but it requires a great deal of strength to decide what to do.” -Elbert Hubbard
