The continuous development of personal leadership qualities, respectful, high functioning teams and effectively managing change create the foundation for my work as a Credentialed Executive Coach and Facilitator. I have conducted research, designed and delivered leadership programs. I bring over 20 years of business experience from government, small business and career development to the table in working with clients.

I am a life-long learner, combining other diverse interests and studies with an intense curiosity and a deep respect for people. I have developed a natural systems perspective which enhances my abilities, knowledge and experience. Through creating a safe and open environment for unguarded and spontaneous communication, I have become skilled at aligning people’s talents and deeply held values with systems and processes.

I have a degree in Conflict Resolution as well as a certificate in Management Studies from the University of Winnipeg; a certificate in Human Resource Management from the University of Manitoba; a Master of Arts in Leadership and Training; as well as a graduate certificate in Executive Coaching from Royal Roads University in Victoria, BC. I am a graduate Storycatcher from Christina Baldwin's workshops “Leadership through Stories” and “The Self as the Source of Story”.

I have experience in utilizing Appreciative Inquiry; facilitating focus groups, conversation cafés and open space. I am also a trained Laughter Yoga Facilitator.

I have held various leadership roles in government and in volunteer organizations and I am currently on the board of directors for two not-for-profit organizations in Winnipeg.

I reside in Winnipeg and my family, Andrew and Michael and his partner Melanie, provide me with great joy and encouragement.

“My goal in life is to make a difference through my work in assisting others be all they can be. I am dedicated to their success and growth. I have been in training all my life to be one of the best coaches in the business and I love what I do.”
