For almost 2 decades I have worked with people and organizations to achieve pure performance through establishing a strong and healthy headwaters to change.
I believe everyone can achieve personal and professional success when you truly understand what success means to you. Building the mindset to achieve pure performance doesn’t happen alone and almost every successful person or organization has support in their journey. Together we will work on the core elements of the mindset that embraces problems as opportunities creating flow toward your defined success.
Don’t wait for change to happen to you! Take control and imagine the world where you have shaped your own journey.
I took my career journey head-on, diving straight into the workforce and using applied education to grow into senior leadership. Over the past 15 years, I’ve led transformative change in healthcare, collaborating with industry leaders and supporting non-profits to drive meaningful impact.
As the author of Headwaters to Change: Navigating Growth, Cultivating Presence, I guide individuals and teams to discover their purpose, master their inner game through mindfulness and meditation techniques, and harness the power of Kaizen to drive continuous improvement. This book is just one way I share the insights I've gained from working with leaders in healthcare, business, and sports.
As a speaker, I’ve had the privilege of sharing my message on stages, helping audiences explore what it takes to go beyond buzzwords, cut through the noise, and unlock high performance through mindfulness and systems thinking. I am passionate about helping leaders embrace a process that builds unbreakable habits, accountability, and culture, ensuring that they can thrive in the face of challenges.
Along my journey, I’ve encountered obstacles, and I believe that developing a strong problem-solving mindset is key to overcoming them. I embrace failure as an opportunity for growth and learning, never quitting until I break through the barriers in my way.
My deep commitment to continuous improvement is grounded in my study of the Toyota Production System (Lean), which also sparked my love for Japanese culture. These principles, combined with my experiences and mentorship from leaders like George Mumford, shape the way I coach and lead others.
I’m a proud immigrant to Canada from England, and the lessons I’ve learned from that experience continue to shape my worldview. I’ve been happily married for 18 years and have two amazing boys, who are my inspiration and joy.
Mindfulness and meditation are foundational in my life and work. I believe in supporting youth development as a means of shaping the future and in giving marginalized communities equal access to opportunities for transformation.
Sports have always been a passion of mine, whether playing, coaching, or mentoring athletes. I’m an Alberta Winter Games gold medalist in boxing and have a strong belief in the power of sports to cultivate discipline, resilience, and focus.
Nature is where I ground myself. The stunning Rockies of Alberta provide the perfect backdrop for fly fishing and hiking—practices that offer me the ultimate mindful experience.
Finally, I’m a musician. Playing guitar and singing in my band serves as a creative release, helping me stay balanced and connected to myself outside of my work.
