Shelley Fleckenstein has been named one
of the top 50 CEOs by Atlantic Business
Magazine for a third year in a row.
Atlantic Business Magazine’s Top 50
CEO Awards are Atlantic Canada’s premiere celebration of corporate leadership
excellence. Nominations are submitted by
readers, and nominees are judged according to their corporate, community and
industry leadership; their company’s
growth in recent years; and their unique
managerial abilities.
May is National Physiotherapy Month
and it seems fitting that Shelley, a physiotherapist with 27 years of experience, be
profiled in the May/June 2015 issue of
Atlantic Business Magazine as a Top 50
CEO Award winner. This prestigious honour will be celebrated at a formal awards
gala event on May 7 at the World Trade
and Convention Centre in Halifax.
Shelley is the founder (1995) and current Co-owner/Director of KINGS Physiotherapy Clinic; she is also the Regional
Manager - Mainland Nova Scotia with CBI
Health Group.

Musings
flow of time may seem to be slower
here on scorching hot days, residents
continue to stress about time and
money, particularly those of us who
have very little of either to spare. As a
result, finding volunteers and
engaged citizens can be an onerous
task for charitable causes as many of
us work very hard to stay afloat. In
this we are not alone, yet our responsibilities remain. Volunteerism is not
about a resume entry - or at least it
shouldn’t be - nor is it about depriving ourselves of valuable time. Commitment to a cause greater than ourselves is the first step in the manner
of selfless spirit which built our families and communities in the first
place.
Get creative. Find something that
suits your personality and donate a bit
of your time, even if it’s only a few
hours here and there. Canvass your
neighbours with a political figure to
bring about change, learning about
the diversity of thought in the houses
and apartments you pass by everyday
in the process. Slip on a pair of sneakers and take a walk to benefit a local
charity. Lose the belt and attend a
pancake breakfast or a musical benefit
for a family in need. If you don’t feel
comfortable with being a volunteer,
then support these causes with whatever financial assistance you can spare
according to your own budget. Citizenship and service are best
served under sunshine and with a
smile, so take a break from Facebook
and Twitter and step outdoors. Enjoy
the ocean breeze and find a place
where you fit, if only for a while. Then
treat yourself with some ice cream
and some wine from the local vineyards, confident in the knowledge that
you have earned it.
