What I learned after my dad’s suicide

Today is the day that I lost my dad to suicide in 2012. He made the decision to take his life on June 18th and was resuscitated by my incredible little sister, giving my family the gift to be with him while he died. For that, I am forever grateful to Molly. We all stood […]

The magic of motherhood has been stolen…I know the thief!

NOTE: I want to touch on the gendered language I used in this post. I am a stickler for inclusive language – you can ask my students. I work really hard to make sure everyone feels heard and represented when I write and speak. In this post I am going to use the term ‘woman’ […]

We Can Do Better

There is an interesting thing that happens when you work from home. People think you are not working, or more like they know you work but you are not really at work. There are the obvious things that I think are awesome about working from home: I can do a conference call in my underpants […]

Bianca Sprague meets Green at Home

So, for those of you that don’t know this about me, I am an introvert. Yes, I teach and talk in large groups. Yes, I go out and do social things. The difference is I need to prep myself to do these things and then when I am done, I need to recover with quiet […]

Getting the most out of the hours in your day!

You may have your little ones at home with you, or you may have school-aged children, either way, you will need to be disciplined about how you schedule your time to get the most out of the time you have. Without a structure, I found that my clients would complain that they found they NEVER […]

Last weekend I had the pleasure of attending my third Canadian Sport Film Festival here in Toronto. (Update in 2023 Full disclosure: my partner at the time sat on the advisory board, so my attendance was not optional, however, I have been moved every year by the fabulous films selected by the committee and this […]

My recent blog post started a great discussion on my Facebook Pages – thank you to all those that contributed! A friend of mine brought up the position the NBA is taking with the LeanIn movement.

Women bastardizing feminist terms at work.

BiancaSprague — Mon, 09 May 2016 16:25:38 +0000

Sheryl Sandberg, author of Lean In and COO for Facebook and mother of two (she is kind of a big deal!), continued the conversation about women in the corporate world in her 2013 book. In true fashion, this term ‘lean in’ somehow has been twisted and used as another weapon of war with women. Recently I was […]
