I had a great conversation with Shell about the RT's and RESA - 08/23/08 09:38 PM
Shell called me today. One certainty in this life, if you have a concern about RESA, Shell is always happy to talk and make sure you have all the info you need.
Shell and I have talked on the phone a couple of times now. Both times I get off the phone with a lot of admiration and respect for Shell.
I'll share a secret: I think Shell is our biggest cheerleader.
I know I don't sound like it...but I'm just full of questions and damn it if she doesn't answer each and every one but blows me away with her … (11 comments)

Painting - Save Time & Money With Designer Paints? YES! - 08/22/08 03:24 PM

SIF Roundtables...how about spilling the beans with those who participated in the first round? - 08/20/08 11:21 AM
I've been asked by participants from the first RT we held in Ontario and have come to wonder myself as well what has been done with the information we provided from the first round table?
It's nice to see Shell has gotten the ball rolling again to keep the initiative going BTW! Shell definitely gets things done.
As for the past RTs it seems there was no rhyme or reason for all the man hours that went in to documenting the meetings, and the many phone calls/questions etc.
The only information we were given as facilitators was that Craig had a … (9 comments)
