Become your best self and bring out the best in others.

James (Jim) Dunn retired in 2006 as an educator from the York Catholic District School Board in Ontario, Canada after 35 years in education.  During this time, he held the position of classroom and vocal music teacher, a school administrator as well as Religious Education and Family Life Consultant for ten years with both the York Catholic and Toronto Catholic District School Boards.  He retired from a short second career after four years as Manager of Spiritual Care with the Archdiocese of Toronto.  Jim is now a team member of the Office of Formation at the Archdiocese's pastoral centre. He has facilitated many adult formation and inspirational programs in locations across the greater Toronto area.   He holds a Master's degree in Religious Education from St. Michael's College, University of Toronto.  Married for 35 years, Jim and his wife Patricia, have two grown children.  Jim believes that the secret to becoming one's best self is to continually climb higher to reach purposeful professional and personal goals. This is ongoing and continues into the second half of life, a time when many feel that there is nothing more that they can learn or even offer. Humor and creative ways of presentation engage his many audiences as Jim continues to spread the message of optimism and hope for the future.

-Humour in the workplace.

Do you take yourself too seriously?  Does your work day seem to drag because no one ever seems to laugh? Then you need something light and humorous to make those stressful workdays fly by!  Confrontation and conflict can be deflected with humour.  Humour can show yourself to be a team player and one who is easy with which to work.  Humour can be a saving tool even if it is just yourself finding something amusing and creating a personal smile.  Who has not felt...
