Meet Kevin
I am an International Coaching Federation-certified Associate Coach with a post-graduate diploma in Executive Coaching from Royal Roads University. My interest in coaching and mentoring stem from my own experiences as a collaborative leader supporting other leaders.
As a coach, I support the development of authentic leadership based on my client’s values and priorities – what does growth and success look like to you – is a key question. My sense is that leadership is a habit, and coaching supports the daily exercise of leadership muscles. Specifically, I support clients in: developing leadership competencies; getting from strategy to results; managing issues and opportunities; managing their own career; and, preparing for promotion processes.
Themes that are often explored in coaching sessions include: achieving results, providing services, managing issues and opportunities, leading change, collaborative leadership; building workplace culture, building high performing teams, creating relationships based on trust and respect, accountability, influence, and grabbing strategic opportunities when they emerge.
Leadership is important. Healthy organizations that are nimble and resilient have strong leaders at all levels. Leaders achieve short term objectives while building a culture of inclusion and respect for diversity where people feel supported and can bring their whole selves to work. The earlier leadership muscles are developed the better.
I have coached clients from federal departments, the Edmonton and Calgary municipal governments, and non-profit organizations. I have also worked with professionals and consultants. I work with members of diversity groups and with Indigenous leaders. I work with team leaders, managers and executives.

“Kevin’s ability to listen and his coaching style really helped me feel like I was in the driver’s seat. He challenged me to ask myself important questions and look inside myself for answers and solutions. Kevin won’t tell you what to do, but he’ll help you think about things in a completely new way.”
