The Globe and Mail, in honour of Mother's Day asked BCE's Bell Media president Sean Cohen for the best advice he ever got from his mom, in its Saturday, May 9 edition. The Globe's unbylined item reports that Mr. Cohen says: "As a child, my mother counselled me, 'You just do the right thing -- don't worry about anybody else.' She always modelled the importance of bringing positive energy and effort to improving our communities.
Growing up in a loving mixed-race family, which included my now-late sister with 'special gifts,' we faced more than our share of slights and challenges. By proudly facing those head-on, Delorie Rose Cohan helped set a lifelong orientation among her children toward kindness, empathy, resilience and service.
