Issue 100

Welcome to our 100th issue! You might also notice we have a new look, and a new name for our newsletter. Early is also the name of our digital magazine focused on the future of work, and while it was good to give Early time to flourish as a standalone brand, it felt like time to marry her to Bright + Early just a little bit more.

To celebrate this union (and our 100th issue), we’re hosting a (friendly!) referral competition for our OG subscribers. Our top two winners will get to choose their own prize from the following*:

💍 A $150 gift card to jewelry darling Mejuri

📰 A year’s subscription to The Logic’s cutting-edge tech journalism

🏥 A $150 donation to the Black Health Alliance or the Canadian Centre to End Human Trafficking

🍺 $150 in tasty non-alcoholic bevvies from Partake

🌴 4 day passes to the Beach Club at Wander the Resort in Prince Edward County

*Cute fact: All the prizes are from Bright + Early clients and alumni! All prizes are in CAD.

Here’s how to participate:

• Refer friends via your unique link at the bottom of this email (1 entry each)

• Post about Early newsletter (remember to follow and tag @brightplusearly!) on Twitter, Instagram or LinkedIn (2 entries each)

The top 2 participants will have their choice of prize from the list above, and we’ll be reaching out to winners on April 1. May your odds be bright! 🌞

Bright Reads

• Grab a ticket for Venture For Canada’s All Things People conference! B+E’s Trisha will be joining a panel on modern compensation design, and I’ll be curating and moderating a panel on AI in HR. I really hate surface-level panels, so expect some interesting participants and tough questions!

• Ramadan starts next week! Designing for Ramadan is a great resource to learn about the holiday and how to respect (and celebrate!) this holy time for Muslim colleagues.

• Our friends at Raw Signal have launched bite-sized manager trainings available to anyone to sign up for. Their next one, on managing up, is on April 14.

Coming Up

• Ramadan is from March 22-April 20
