He appeared on The Dragon’s Den in 2011 with the Aussie X team. Paul and Emile founded Performance By Design together in 2017.

Performance By Design focusses on the culture that leaders create in their organizations. Leaders should create a code of culture based on the context of their business and keeping in mind the needs of the employees.

Expert action Steps:

Emile:

1. Spend some time getting to know who you are and what you stand for. Who is the leader you want to be?

2. Gp out and spend some money on a tool to help you understand yourself better.

3. Practice realtalk. Someone who will give you honest feedback. Look for the good and the areas of growth in your behaviour.

Paul:

1. Ask yourself if you’re an energy taker or an energy giver. Leaders should take care of themselves, mentally, spiritually, physically to maintain their energy.

2. Use your network to find opportunities to learn from others. Be open to what others have to offer.

3. Realize that what Emile and Paul are saying is common sense. Realize that it’s easy to apply and don’t make excuses. Just do it.

“I do nothing for a living. I live for what I do.”

From an early age, Farley Flex recognized that his interests, personality and skill set made him a good entrepreneur. At 15 years old, he organized a music event that attracted 1500 people and set the stage for an extremely successful career in the entertainment industry, including a three-year term as one of the original judges on Canadian Idol. Farley believes that knowledge of self gives an entrepreneur direction and makes it easy to make important decisions. Farley has managed several musicians including Canada’s first mainstream rapper, Maestro Fresh Wes, and he was the music curator for Canada’s first commercial urban music radio station. He’s a mentor and motivator to artists and people at risk, and an advocate for diversity, equity and inclusion in the black and indigenous communities.

The husband and wife combination is very powerful and this can also be true in the world of business. But just as with any business relationship, there are conflicts that come up that have to be handled carefully, and a balance has to be maintained between the business and the personal.

Alex Mostovoy has been operating a successful thermography clinic in Toronto, Ontario, since 1999. His life partner, Tallie Rabin, eventually chose to bring her expertise and passion to the clinic. The couple's appreciation for each other's unique strengths and their ability to navigate conflict has allowed them to bring the power and strength of their family into their business.

Thermography is a completely safe, non-invasive screening method that uses infrared imaging technology to identify abnormal heat that radiates from the surface of the human skin. An abnormal infrared image is the single-most important marker of high risk for developing breast disease.

Alex offers training to other healthcare practitioners to help them and their patients benefit from thermography.

Expert action steps:

Alex:

1. Be passionate about what you do.

2. Follow through with plans.
