What you need to know about me...

I've always wanted to help people grow...

In part, this is because I am always seeking to grow myself—you can’t move the plank you are standing on. I’ve also come to know the value of those who can skillfully guide this process.

Jumping from hands-on learning in a trade, I have become a student of human development, always seeking to understand the conditions and tools that allow us to become our most authentic and potent selves.

My career blends expertise in human and community development, through lived and work experiences with marginalized and highly remote communities, working with at-risk young people, the frail aged, lower socio-economic, and Indigenous communities.

To process the life lessons gained from working with people, building teams, and coaching individuals, I have sought out the most powerful and sophisticated growth and development training available—from traditional wisdoms to leading-edge modern psychology—in an education that has taken me around the world.

I know the passion and commitment it takes to make a difference. I also know how essential it is to be supported, to support others, and to grow in capacity and awareness of how to effectively manage yourself as well as working with others. I use frameworks that work respectfully with diversity while not shying away from challenging people to consider new and broader perspectives. I understand how to support teams as they develop and individuals see and overcome their personal stuck places to become more aware, coherent and purposeful.

When I think of leadership development, it is this quote:

"The process of becoming a leader is much the same as the process of becoming an integrated human being"

— Warren Bennis.
