I provide group facilitation, training and coaching services in both English and French, with a focus on participatory change processes, collaboration support, and life transitions. I am in demand as a bilingual workshop leader and as a facilitator of consultative and strategic processes. My clients include not-for profit organizations, advocacy groups and ministries/departments in the Ontario and Canadian governments.
I began my journey with Genuine Contact in 2008, learning about Open Space Technology. I have been an authorized Genuine Contact Trainer since 2012 and completed coaching training with the Newfield Network in 2015. I am a member of the International Coaching Federation and the ICF Toronto Chapter.
I live in Hamilton (Ontario, Canada) and enjoy hiking the area's superb trails with friends and family. I blog about personal responsibility in the age of anxiety.
Why the Genuine Contact way of working?
The Genuine Contact approach is the operating platform from which I work with my clients. It builds trust, promotes engagement, creativity, relationship building, deep learning, and fun. Genuine Contact facilitators work with the whole person, which enables participants to tap into all of their intelligences: physical, mental, spiritual and emotional.
