I have spent my thirty-year career exploring, learning, and pioneering individual, team, and system change. I am captivated by nature, complexity, the science and practice of change, and people’s capacity to lead, grow, and develop across the lifespan.
I have deep experience as an executive and consultant in health, business, IT, and the nonprofit sector. I love to learn. I have three Master’s degrees in Public Health, Business Administration, and Human Development, and I have a PhD in Human and Organizational Systems. I am an Adjunct Assistant Professor with the University of Calgary, Cumming School of Medicine, and an Expert Advisor with Innovate Calgary, an innovation transfer and business incubator.
My experience has resulted in a fabulous network of practitioners and scholars: friendlies, catalysts, deep thinkers, provocateurs. Depending on the needs of your organization and your capacity, we can bring in the right talent to support your success.
At EmergeCo we’ve been involved with hundreds of projects, facilitated thousands of meetings and retreats. We know how to bring people together to get things done!
