Woman Navy Commander – Interview with Michele Tessier

In honour of Remembrance Day, an interview with Michele A. Tessier, retired Navy Commander, OMM, CD.

Michele Tessier was born and raised in Grand Bank, Newfoundland.  She started her career in the Royal Canadian Navy by joining the Naval Reserve at HMCS CABOT in St. John’s as a direct entry officer in 1996, on completion of a Bachelor of Arts degree at Memorial University.

Over the past 25-plus years, Cdr Tessier’s career has included numerous sea and shore postings and participation in international exercises around the world. She was the third woman in the history of the RCN to be appointed to command of a sea-going ship. Her career highlights include four command tours – HMCS NANAIMO, HMCS GRIFFON (Thunder Bay), Commander Coastal Forces Pacific, and the first Commanding Officer of the future HMCS MARGARET BROOKE. She worked in the Arctic with the Canadian Coast Guard and was a Canadian representative on the multi-national Newport Arctic Scholars Initiative.

Michele was named “Alumnus of the Month” by Memorial University’s Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in May 2017 and was further honored to be named one of the Women’s Executive Network’s “Canada’s Most Powerful Women – Top 100” for 2017. In December of 2018, she was named to the Governor General’s 69th List of appointments to the Order of Military Merit.

Michele retired from service in October 2021. She continues to mentor young officers at the Navy’s navigation and bridge simulator in Victoria, BC, where she lives with her partner, Dustan. She enjoys reading, writing, theatre, football, dance, and yoga in her spare time.

The Flip Flop CEO– Interview with Janine Finney

A candid interview with Janine Finney, author of the two Best-Seller books “The Flip Flop CEO” and “Does The Show Fit.”

Janine Finney spent the first 30 years of her career as a sales executive in Corporate America. Then, at the age of 50, she began a new career that she never expected to pursue Network Marketing. When

Janine’s daughter, Lory, shared her desire to join a Network Marketing company after graduating from college, she quickly discovered that her mom had a very different opinion about this type of business than she did. Their strongly opposing views and the battles that ensued are what inspired them to co-author a book called, “The Flip Flop CEO”, which has sold over 100,000 copies.

Then, five years later, Janine wrote a sequel to their first book, called, “Does the Shoe Fit?”. Having been a skeptic herself, Janine is passionate about bringing clarity to the 21st-century version of this “business in a box” model! She believes that many women are searching for the freedom and flexibility it provides but don’t recognize it because of the topic’s stigma.

Today, Janine has designed a lifestyle that gives her the freedom to plan her work around her life, rather than her life around her work. She winters in Scottsdale, to be near her two daughters, their husbands, and her five grandchildren… and spends summers traveling in an RV with her husband, Doug. They are both avid fly fishermen.

Anti-aging tip…🥑

Avocados are one of the few fruits (yes, they are a fruit) that contain healthy unsaturated fats. These fats help lower cholesterol when eaten in place of saturated fats. They are also high in inflammation-fighting fatty acids that promote smoothe, soft skin.

They also contain:

• Vitamins K, C E and A
• B Vitamins
• Potassium

The high content of Vitamin A can help us shed dead skin cells, leaving us with gorgeous, glowing skin.✨

Tips for eating: throw one in a salad, or try it in a smoothie. Have you tried avocado toast?

The best part of my day is spent chatting with YOU!

Join me on a ZOOM call and we can connect on how to grow your business, tips on natural products and resources, or we can simply exchange ideas and stories to help inspire each other. I am happy to send you a gift from Neora.

As always, I am so grateful for this opportunity to work from home and I want to share it with YOU!

Consider working from home…

Have you considered or educated yourself about working from home? Maybe starting a business or joining me?

There are ups and downs to owning your own business and working from home, but I believe it’s all about keeping a balance between home and work life. Starting my own business and working from home was the best decision I made for myself and for my family.

Sitting down and talking with your partner or a friend and having a conversation could be helpful. Consider your financial situation, future plans, spending habits, and lifestyle. You can map out what that looks like. It would be nice to consider meeting with someone who has that experience with a successful work-life-family balance.

What does the smell of pine remind you of?

For me it’s Christmas.🎄
Pine oil has been used in traditional medicine for centuries. Due to its strong aroma, pine essential oil is notable for its uplifting yet clearing scent. Because of this, it can work as a room scent in a diffuser as well as in cleaning solutions. I like to clean my floors with it.
Pine oil extracts are often used in air fresheners for homes, offices, and vehicles. Essential oils, on the other hand, may be used in aromatherapy to create an uplifting atmosphere — not just a nice scent. 👃 🌲 Inhaling oils like pine may also have clearing effects in the case of illnesses like the common cold!

Do you like the aroma of pine? And how do you use it?

Do you know you’re meant to be a messenger but aren’t sure what to say or how to say it? Do you desire to sing, perform or use your voice in an artistic way? Did you know your voice has incredible healing abilities and you can use it to balance, energize and calm yourself? Do you know you’re meant to say more but feel terrified to actually speak up? Do you want to master communicating with your clients, students and potential business prospects so what you say truly has impact and you can clearly express exactly what you offer? If you answered yes to any of these, this course is for you! Actually, this work is for everyone. We must break the chains of silence that we have been taught to hold for so many generations.
