Authenticity, continuous improvement and trust are values to build upon.
If you’re driven by a passion for continuous improvement and growth, whether for yourself or your business, my journey may resonate with you.
 
From a young age, I was drawn to Engineering as a means of improving the world around me.  Upon entering the aerospace manufacturing industry, I discovered continuous improvement and realized that improving processes could have an even greater impact on results.  Throughout my improvement journey, I found myself dealing more with the people than process to achieve sustainable results; change management became the focus. By helping individuals adapt to change, processes improved and employees implemented these changes more quickly for better results.  
 
As a change manager, I was spending a large portion of my time coaching senior leaders, finding that effective sponsorship was the single biggest contributor to change success.  After attending Royal Roads and receiving a Certificate in Executive Coaching, my career focus shifted to improving the effectiveness of leaders, to engage employees in achieving a shift in business performance.  
 
My work is fueled by my passion to help leaders to bring out the best of themselves, their organizations and their teams.  Combining strategy, continuous improvement, change management, training and coaching to produce improved business results.
