Leadership is a continual journey of learning and self-discovery. As a certified Professional Integral Coach, my work focuses on helping leaders make meaningful and lasting progress along their leadership journey. We work together to co-create a leadership coaching program that will be customized to your specific needs.
The best organizational cultures in the world create a shared internal language that promotes a deep sense of connection and sends a strong signal for the journey ahead. Developing this language involves exploring shared values through the power of storytelling. Storytelling helps us connect our past to our future.
As a Leadership Coach and Culture Builder, I do three things.
I help leaders learn and practice the essential skills of human connection.
I support leaders in developing intentional cultures based on shared values and storytelling.
I deliver customized coaching programs that empower leaders to achieve meaningful growth.
My Background
I spent 17 years working in Canadian sport with roles at the Canadian Olympic Committee, Swimming Canada, and most recently the Canadian Paralympic Committee where I held the role of Executive Director, Corporate Services.
I had the great honour of supporting Team Canada at five Olympic Games and two Paralympic Games. I am also a former national team swimmer, winning three bronze medals at the 2003 Pan American Games in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.
I am a Certified Integral Professional Coach and hold a Master of Sport Administration degree from the International Academy of Sports Science and Technology in Lausanne, Switzerland.
I live, with my family, on the unceded Territory of the Anishinaabe Algonquin Nation, which goes by the colonial name of Ottawa, Canada.
"Through our sessions Brian helped me with discovering many building blocks of leadership and culture. I had my mind opened to the importance of intentionality and how even the smallest signals and actions can yield massive returns in the long run. Building up leadership skills can bring value in any role even ones that are not formal leadership/management positions. Brian was extremely effective in communicating the importance and practical application of values on both an organizational and personal level. We had many discussions involving culture and methods for building a safe environment where people can perform at their best. I would highly recommend working with Brian to explore different ways of thinking about and building leadership skills." - Zach Z.
"Working with Brian was the first time I’ve ever had access to my own personal leadership coach. I wasn’t sure what to expect going into our first session, but Brian did a masterful job asking thoughtful questions to understand me and my areas of potential growth. Throughout the process he patiently guided me, allowing me to find my own “AHA!” moments, which made for a much more meaningful growth. I would highly recommended Brian to anyone who wants to take the next step in their leadership growth." - Rob F.
"Brian expertly guided us through an exploration of our organizational values using engaging storytelling exercises. His facilitation style created an environment where everyone felt comfortable sharing their perspectives and experiences. Through this process, we gained invaluable insights into the importance of human connection in fostering a positive workplace culture. Brian's ability to connect the dots between our values and our day-to-day interactions was very insightful. Thanks to Brian's guidance, we now feel more empowered to cultivate stronger connections within our team, align with our core values, and strive for excellence together." – Karen P.
