ABOUT BRIAN EDEY

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.

TESTIMONIALS

"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. 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.

"Working with Brian has given me clarity and confidence in my leadership style, helping me focus on building bridges rather than fences. In a time of growing divisiveness, it’s been invaluable to have a strong ethos to lean into, one rooted in connection and curiosity.


Brian’s incredible listening skills and his ability to meet clients exactly where they are make him an exceptional coach. He gently but effectively guides you on a journey of self-discovery and improvement, empowering you to grow as a person and as a leader." - Josh D.

"Brian was a great support when I needed to work through some challenges. He really listened, helped me organize my thoughts, and made me think about different approaches that felt right for me. I walked away with valuable tools from our 1:1 sessions, and now feel more confident and prepared to handle whatever comes my way.” – Kellie R.

"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. Brian was extremely effective in communicating the importance and practical application of values on both an organizational and personal level. I would highly recommend working with Brian to explore different ways of thinking about and building leadership skills." - Zach Z.

"I truly had an amazing experience taking the BE Leadership Essentials course. In this course we really got to dive into not only learning about aspects of leadership that we have never considered, but we also got to learn so much about ourselves as people and as leaders and really define what that looks like and means to us. I have so many new tools in my leadership tool belt now that help me to continuously be a better leader. I would highly recommend this course to anyone as it not only improved my leadership skills, but also taught me skills to be a better colleague and friend." - Amy F.
