We start from the goals and objectives you want.

With leaders I look at emotional intelligence in a practical way: how well you know your own reactions, how you decide when the situation is unclear, and how you work with other people. One-to-one coaching is where we heighten that self-awareness, refine how you lead, and get to a clearer strategy.

I work best with leaders, executives and professionals who want a goal made clear and then actually done. That includes people stepping into more responsibility, people in conflict at work, and people whose beliefs are getting in the way of the work they want to do. I also work with teams and with organisations, when the question is how a group leads, not only how one person does.

In the room I aim for trust without judgment, and for goals clear enough to act on. Emotional intelligence, for me, means self-awareness, clearer decisions, and better work with other people.

I hold the Associate Certified Coach (ACC) credential from the International Coaching Federation. Before that I worked in oil and gas: the North Sea, land rigs in England, deep-water exploration in the Falkland Islands, and research roles in Canada and the United States. I am a co-inventor on a US patent for a gas extraction calibration system.

In 2014 a downturn ended that chapter. I became a coach after being coached myself. The practice I run now, Coaching.EQ, is based in Calgary and works with leaders, teams and organisations.
