“You are great at asking the right question, cutting through the “fluff”, and getting right to the heart of the issue. You put people at ease and facilitate the emergence of their deepest and truest feelings to help them see what is most essential.” – Government Health Care Professional
Because success takes commitment.
You know that success means committing to realistic stretch goals, to investing time and resources, to embracing positive change, and to taking accountable actions that stimulate growth and impact.
We work with clients who understand that the status quo is not an option. We understand your desire to leave a legacy that is inspiring and defining. We believe in doing things differently, in bringing a diversity of ideas, perspectives, approaches and experiences to every coaching undertaking.

Our professional coaching encompasses corporate training, individual professional development, team dynamics and B.O.L.D. – a unique leadership program exclusively designed for culturally diverse executives and senior managers.
Our client-centric approach focuses on your empowerment and strategic progress. We follow the code of ethics of both the Worldwide Association of Business Coaches (WABC) and the International Coaching Federation (ICF), as well as our profession’s standards.
For some it’s about surpassing a stretch goal or bottom line target. For others, it’s about sustaining a balance that recognizes and values what’s most important to you and/or your organization. Whether it’s subject matter expertise, skills development coaching or training, we customize the solution that best fits your needs, context and desired outcomes.
The willingness and intention to explore opportunities and challenges with a possibility lens is a very powerful endeavour. That’s why our professional certified coaching approach includes aspects of neuroscience, mind states, appreciative inquiry, intercultural dimensions and emotional intelligence that can stimulate and inspire greater possibilities.

We utilize targeted interviews, surveys and consultations to gain valuable quantitative data and qualitative insights, as well as focus groups to deepen interaction and understanding.
Our team coaching is customized for a spectrum of groups of people, be it focused on a shared common purpose, an organizational transition, or elevated team cohesion. Our outcomes-centred, client-focused rigour provides a discipline that can evolve to become a best practice for the individual, team and organization. We draw from a range of approaches to ensure your distinct goals are fully met and that cultural competency and excellence prevail.
We believe in the transference of skills and knowledge, as collaborative partners, with our coaching clients. We deliver “train the trainers” sessions in specialized subject areas, situational circumstances, or as ongoing organizational development.
