In 2019, Lake was re-elected to a fifth term, receiving the highest vote total out of all candidates, from all parties, across of Canada. He currently serves as the Shadow Minister for International Development. Prior to entering federal politics, Lake worked for 10 years with the Edmonton Oilers Hockey Club. Lake and his family have been active supporters of autism organizations, families and individuals across the country, and around the world, while sharing their story of life with Jaden, Mike’s 24-year-old son who has autism. To help us better understand how leaders can establish trust, build consensus by finding common ground, Ray Wang, CEO and founder of a Silicon Valley-based advisory firm Constellation Research, and I invited Honorable Mike Lake MP to join our weekly show DisrupTV. Here are my main takeaways of our conversation with Mr. Lake: 9. The ability to work from home is a privilege. Lake talked about shifting work from office to home by taking advantage of technology. Lake reminded us that by adopting a mindset of generosity, empathy and trust, we can continue to serve our stakeholders. Lake is optimistic and generous with his time. Mike shares consistently on Twitter and Facebook with content that is educational, uplifting and relevant. I encourage you to watch our entire video with Mike Lake MP.
