Eating Less: Say Goodbye to Overeating (Positive Health)

Product Information

Notable examples include her establishment of The Scotiabank Women Initiative TM‑a program that strives to strengthen equality and support for Canada’s women entrepreneurs by providing women-owned, women-led businesses with access to capital, mentorship and education–as well as her work to move the dial on inclusivity. In Gillian’s first year as President & CEO of Tangerine Bank, she increased female representation from the manager level and above across the bank and increased female participation on Tangerine’s Board ofDirectors. You’ll discover how to eat less without dieting, without feeling restricted and deprived, without becoming obsessed and rebellious – and without falling off the wagon! I think passion carries you a long way. You have to love what you do and feel really good about it and feel passionate about bringing that to work every single day,” she says. “That’s been a really important part of my success — I love what I do and I bring that to the office every day.” Gillian and the full list of winners will be recognized at Catalyst Honours 2020 – a dynamic three-day virtual conference – taking place from October 6-8, 2020. You could pig out on your non-fast days…but you won’t do that. In all likelihood, you’ll remain gently, intuitively attentive to your calorie intake, almost without noticing. Similarly, you may find yourself naturally favouring healthier foods once your palate is modified by your occasional fasts. So yes, eat freely, forbid nothing, but trust your body to say ‘when’.”

I’ll add that if you exercise a great deal, if you regularly sleep badly, and/or if you are under quite a bit of stress, these also mean that fasting may not be right for you at the present time. TORONTO, ON, July 9, 2020– Scotiabank is pleased to announce that Gillian Riley, President and CEO, Tangerine Bank and Executive Vice President, Scotiabank has been named a Catalyst Honours Champion for 2020. Gillian is being recognized for her profound contributions in advancing female inclusivity in the workplace, as well as for her notable leadership within corporateCanada.

Profile

Only four per cent of venture capital debt in Canada is going to women-owned business,” says Gillian. “Yet 47 per cent of businesses in Canada are owned or partly-owned by women . So clearly something in the ecosystem isn’t working to support women in business.” As a mutual organization, Nationwide Building Society uses its unique position to help build a society by making a positive difference in the lives of its members and the communities in which they live. It is why Nationwide still values a branch network, supports communities through charitable grants, and places a premium on helping people thrive financially – whether helping them into a home of their own or giving them the financial support they need. Taking a stand and making a difference is what sets Nationwide apart. None of which would be possible without the dedicated service of its 18,000 employees.

The passion Gillian brought to her athletic pursuits growing up continued into her adult life and powered her career to great heights. It was a while before I understood that the only way I would ever be able to develop this mysterious quality I needed to deliver an online course was by doing it. And making any attempt to create some false persona was bound to fail. I could only do it in the most sincere way I knew, in the only way I could do it. I broadcast my first webinar in January 2017, and along the way I think I’ve made every mistake it’s been possible to make. It’s not a good idea to fast if you are desperate to lose weight, or if you have a history of anorexia or bulimia. Note that both authors of The Fast Diet took on fasting entirely for health reasons. The health benefits of fasting – such as dipping into ketosis from time to time and the fascinating process of autophagy – are well established ( 1, 2). There’s also impressive research showing a beneficial impact on brain health ( 3). But Mosley and Spencer seem oblivious to the fact that many people will be motivated to fast primarily to improve their appearance, and this makes a massive difference.

This has some similarity with Mosley and Spencer’s cautions, but also some differences. In particular, my caution not to fast if you don’t normally eat high-quality food would seem to contradict their advice to “eat what you like most of the time”. However, Mosley and Spencer say, The course content is entirely focused on sustaining changes in the longer term. It’s not enough to lose weight. What matters is bringing a new attitude to eating less. When I think about the appreciation I have for the work I do, and how I wouldn’t want to be doing anything else ever, it’s quite extraordinary to recall how much I really didn’t want to do it to start with. I have a farm near Collingwood, so I do long bike rides,” she says. “I ski up there in the winter and I play golf. I also spend a lot of time with my three kids and my husband — that’s really important for me.” Throughout her own career journey, Gillian says that maintaining a good work/life balance has been a priority. She works hard, but she also makes sure to take the time to play hard.

It is a pleasure to welcome someone of Gillian’s calibre to the Nationwide Board. Her digital banking experience and strategic approach combined with her extensive Board experience make Gillian a valuable asset to us given our strategic direction and the challenges we are facing in the banking sector.” said Board Chairman, Kevin Parry. Gillian also created the Commercial Banking National Women’s Group with a mandate to promote the business imperative of gender equity, diversity, and inclusion within the commercial bank. This mandate includes raising awareness of unconscious bias and providing training to reduce its influence, supporting the professional development and empowerment of women, positioning women for career advancement opportunities, and building the profile of women leaders in commercial banking. Gillian enabled the group to examine and resolve concerns at all levels within the commercial bank. Maybe it’s not that fasting isn’t a good idea, but that there are other important steps for you to take first. To return to my cautions: Just months after taking on the role as CEO of Tangerine, Gillian spearheaded the Women in Leadership initiative at Tangerine, which aims to give everyone tools and resources to have more empowering and engaging work experiences and reach their full potential. This is achieved through career development and education opportunities; raising awareness and encouraging a high-performance culture; and community-building tactics. This initiative has created a robust pipeline of future women leaders. You won’t be told what to eat, when or how much to eat. Instead, you’ll be given techniques, together with the theory behind them so you understand what you’re doing. Using these techniques, you’re able to make whatever changes you want to make – and connect with your motivation to do so.

One good approach is to ask: “What’s one thing I could do better?” says Gillian. “It’s a question that leads to things you can work on.” I have a lot of passion,” says Gillian. “I grew up in a family that was very active physically, so I did a lot of sports and it was a really big part of my life. I played soccer at a very competitive level and I figured out how to work within a team, and how to lose gracefully, which is always important.” But when it came to delivering my course online, here was a brand-new challenge. The seemingly insurmountable problem was that I was convinced I wasn’t the sort of person who could run an online business, delivering my course content in that format. I didn’t know what I was missing, but I knew there was some quality I most certainly didn’t have and had no clue how to obtain. I suspect all this is sounding a bit negative, and the last thing I want to do is to dissuade you from fasting if it’s going to work for you. By all means give it a try. Notice and manage your addictive desire to eat and you can certainly find that it fits in very well with everything you’ve learned in my books and webinars. It really tests your leadership to be able to go into a new environment and figure out how to lead without knowing everything, and how to ask for help,” she says. “You learn how to ask the right questions and be curious and how to be impactful without knowing every single detail.”

To further drive gender parity at Scotiabank and Tangerine, Gillian spearheaded equitable policy practices to ensure diversity in the candidate pool and on hiring panels and to ensure women have equal access to job opportunities and advancement. These policy changes have led to an increase in representation of women at the manager level and above at Tangerine and an increase in women on the Tangerine Bank board. Gillian received the award in the Company/Firm Leader category for her commitment to progressing inclusivity in the workplace through outstanding leadership. For over two decades, Gillian has had a substantial impact on the representation, advancement and inclusion of women across Scotiabank, Tangerine Bank and in various communityinitiatives.
