Executives and Boards refer to me as their coach, trusted advisor, strategist, and preferred problem-solver and planner. However, it's uncommon for people to explicitly state, “I need a coach.” Instead, listen for phrases like: - “This keeps happening, and I feel stuck.” - “I have an idea but no time to pursue it.” - “I haven’t faced this situation before.” - “I need to get things back on track.” - “I want to accelerate my career/business/impact.” No matter where you are in your journey, I bring 25 years of creativity and leadership experience to help you navigate your challenges. You’ll benefit from my humor and empathy, and you'll learn why I’m recognized for my ability to listen deeply and ask thought-provoking questions that lead to insights and innovative strategies. What I do: I offer in-demand leadership coaching and planning for CEOs, executive teams, and boards. With experience across urban, rural, and First Nations communities, I specialize in social purpose business strategy, governance, branding, change management, and communications. Who I am: I founded Laridae, a management consulting and training firm dedicated to helping purpose-driven organizations thrive. To date, Laridae has worked with over 200 clients. As the first CEO, I led Laridae’s journey from a startup to a prominent firm in its field, and it is now a certified B Corp. Previously, I was part of the senior team at a large regional hospital. Additionally, I serve as a Special Graduate Faculty member in Trent University’s M.A. Sustainability Studies Graduate Program and am a member of the Institute of Corporate Directors, holding a Chartered Director (C.Dir.) designation with over 15 years of board experience. How will coaching yield results? Regular coaching sessions with me provide consistent support. I will be in your corner, asking insightful questions, enhancing your leadership skills, collaborating on a plan, and ensuring you remain creatively and strategically focused. Let’s connect—feel free to DM or email me anytime. I’d love to discuss how I can help you achieve your goals.
