Accident Insurance
Study after study has been released that, in the end, all reach the same conclusion: the younger you are, the more likely it is that you will die as a result of an accident over any other cause. Injuries have proven to be the number one cause of death for Canadians up to the age of 44, as well as the fourth leading cause of death for Canadians of all ages.

Finding Success in the Great Outdoors: How Bean Lived his Dream
When Bean died in 1967, the executives at the company he had founded were not sure if they should publicize his death. Bean’s attachment to the company was such that most customers believed he himself still personally tested each product and tended to each of their orders. His successors feared that if people knew he was gone, that perception would be eroded and the company would lose ground. They considered keeping his death a secret, until a television news show got wind and broke the story. That was the importance that Bean, at 94, still had on his company.

Can Inspiration Be Found In A Death?
I don't feel like rejoicing in Bin Laden's death. I certainly don't feel like this is bad news, of course - the world is better off without him - but it's not a party. It occurs to me that, 31 years ago, perhaps I would not have been all that inspired if Carter's hostage-rescue mission had been a success, since undoubtedly that success would have been accompanied by death. But I believe inspiration starts with appreciation, and there are many things to appreciate in today's news of victory....
Clarifying Personal Purpose
Thinking about death can produce a passion for life. Early in my career, I was introduced to the idea of clarifying my life's purpose through contemplating my death by Charlie Jones, a personal effectiveness and leadership development author and speaker. In his book, Life is Tremendous, he wrote, "You're not ready to live your life until you know what you want written on your tombstone". That's a powerful thought!

Innovation Champions, Skunkworks, and Organization Learning

When innovations are in the exploration stage, they need a champion to take them through the rest of the developmental stages.
