If I'm going to spend countless nickels each month to stay connected - might as well make sure that some of them are used to help people who are struggling vs lining the pockets of execs. #makeitrainnickels #BellLetsTalk
But back to my overpriced internet and TV package... #BellLetsTalk
I don't think the right question is whether or not Bell is being selfless (it's not) but whether they are acting with purpose #BellLetsTalk
I think it's great that Bell is putting its reach to the service of a great cause. I think it's fine that they get credit for it. The bigger question is if the values promoted through #BellLetsTalk are part of their corporate culture and supported through all their activities.
When governments and philanthropists aren't doing enough for mental health, can you fault a corporation that steps up? Are you stepping up? #BellLetsTalk
Employers like Microsoft -- and many others -- feel that housing is everyone's responsibility, so why would corporations be excluded from that? Does the same apply to mental health? #BellLetsTalk
Employers are investing in housing because employees need places to live so that the business can thrive in a community that supports wellbeing #BellLetsTalk
We've been talking a lot about purpose at work lately. Many corps are looking beyond corporate social responsibility to purpose driven action. For instance, Microsoft, Facebook and others who are investing in housing #BellLetsTalk
It's also the day where I try to reconcile my feelings for a beautiful initiative #BellCause and the less than stellar value for money Bell Canada provides me...
Hi Twitter! I'm here making my annual pilgrimage to this medium to help raise funds for mental health #BellLetsTalk

Is this where they got the idea of raising funds for mental health a nickel at a time? #BellLetstalk
