👋 The heart of leadership is human connection. 😃 Our world needs Caring Leaders who are genuinely interested in the success and well-being of their people. I believe that leadership is first and foremost about helping people to be their best! 👍

I’m an advocate for Caring Leadership, a style that I embody and promote through my extensive experience as a middle manager and executive leading teams in IT Consulting Services across North America. I realized early on that the way to impactful leadership is to care for people - those delivering the technology and those held to adopt it effectively. I’m creator of Architect of People First ™, a strategic approach to becoming a successful Caring Leader and achieving the right mindset that goes with it. My Caring Leadership style nurtures the best in people, resulting in cooperative, high-performing, loyal teams who excel at what they do.

My professional journey, while marked by resilience and adaptability, emphasizes the importance of developing and empowering individuals and managers. In my leadership roles, I've had to navigate significant industry challenges, including the aftermath of 9/11 and three acquisitions. My leadership approach is deeply rooted in trust, empowerment and people first strategies. 

After overcoming cancer, I embraced a reflective sabbatical before returning to the consulting sphere where I now focus on fostering Caring Leadership and people-centred cultures. I share my experience and insights through leadership coaching services for individuals and groups with my Empowering Leaders IN ACTION roundtable program.

Recognized as a top thought leader in coaching and leadership, I invite collaborative engagements to amplify leadership potential. I’d welcome the opportunity to learn about you and any challenges I may be able to help with. I am available for connection here on LinkedIn, through email and my website. Thank you! 🍁

⚠️ Don’t Let CHAOS Cloud Your JUDGEMENT!
Honoured to be a contributor to Dr. Oleg Konovalov’s powerful new book,
📕 Beyond Chaos: How to Create Clarity When Everything Falls Apart.

It was a great privilege to be interviewed and share my views and real-life experiences leading through chaos—moments when fear was real, emotions were high, pressure was intense, and decisions carried enormous consequences.

Looking back, I wish that I and everyone on our senior leadership team had the wisdom in this book. It would have brought clarity, calm, and courage during some very tumultuous times.

► In fear and chaos, offices were closed and good people were let go.
One of the most difficult leadership challenges in my career.

With clarity, there were better alternatives. Better choices.
And yes—better times eventually followed.

My Key Takeaway:

► CHAOS clouds JUDGEMENT. 
👉 CLARITY restores it. ✅

This book brings together real stories from real leaders who have been tested by uncertainty and emerged with deeper insight. It distills those experiences into chaos-proof frameworks, practical solutions, and leadership lessons you can apply immediately.

If you want to learn how to create clarity, cut through noise, and lead with confidence when everything around you seem to be falling apart…

➡️ Find out HOW in Beyond Chaos by Dr. Oleg Konovalov.
A must-read for leaders navigating complexity.

Thank you! 🍁

Today, on Remembrance Day, I’m taking a moment to reflect on how fortunate we are to live in Canada—a country where we enjoy freedom, rights, and a quality of life that many around the world can only hope for.

The peaceful communities where we live, work, and raise our families exist because of the courage and ultimate sacrifice of those who came before us. Their service gave us the privilege of the life we know today.

Lest we forget.
