I laughed
recently when a newer coach said to me, “You were doing this when I didn’t even
know it was a Thing. Because of you I realized this was something I could do”.
I started my career providing life and business coach services, which transitioned
into speaking & training courses, and more recently into a Mentoring
program.
The foundation
of my uniqueness has come from a rural background, giving me a down-home style
and a strong determination to developing my clients.
Here are just a
few of the adventures that have added to who I am today as a Mentor:
- Grew
up on a ranch, with a whole lot of cattle, horses and exotic animals.
- Spent
14 years of my youth in the 4-H program (wonderful formative years!).
- Attained
an Ag degree at UofS and MBA at UofR.
- Worked
for the Sask government in Ag & performance measurement at start of career.
- Completed
many, many training courses in personal development & coaching, studying
under so many great influencers including: Brian
Tracy, Tony
Robbins, Robert
Kiyosaki, Wayne
Dyer, Jack
Canfield, John
Maxwell, Marianne Williamson, Harv Eker, Loral
Langemeier, Les
Brown, John
Gray, Mark
Victor Hansen, Brene
Brown, David
TS Wood, Daniel Hawk Moon, Randy Revell, Satyen Raja, Alex Mandossian, David Wolfe, Lisa Nichols, and more.
- Founded
my own training & coaching business 20 years before most in Saskatchewan
had even heard of a life or business coach.
- Worked
with coaching clients world-wide, including Australia, Dubai, much of Europe,
Malaysia, and across Canada and the USA.

a team of 116 people dedicated to excellence in holding personal development
seminars & camps all over North America.

in over 400 sacred native sweat lodges for spiritual growth.
- Travelled
the world for fun, adventure and new perspective. And coming home to appreciate
Saskatchewan that much more each time.
- Spent
a month in Malawi, Africa helping develop 3 villages and new expertise.
- Physical:
ocean dives (including Great Barrier Reef), white-water rafted, black-water
rafted, bungee jumped, mountain climbed, mountain skied, glacier walked, self-defence,
high ropes courses & zip-lining, paintball, fire-walks, fire-eating, trance
dances & more.

Kind
of sums up a well-lived first half of life. lol A soul-on-fire has served me well. I am extra excited for my second half!
