For over 20 years, I have worked with clients in banking, seniors care, IT, engineering, clean tech, insurance, real estate development, food, mining...among countless other verticals. Double Black Diamond Coaching focuses in four key areas: 1. Developing highly effective C-suite leaders.2. Developing highly effective executive teams that have a deep level of trust, the ability to challenge and debate, clear commitments, the ability to hold each other accountable and common goals. 3. Strategic planning and quarterly meetings to ensure alignment on vision and goals plus the ability to deliver to achieve results. 4. Inspiring broader groups of employees through keynote speaking.

I was fortunate to really accelerate my coaching experience in the earlier days, by partnering with The Ken Blanchard Companies. This gave me the opportunity to coach 100's of leaders in some large Fortune 500 companies .

Moved from Toronto to Vancouver in 1998 transferring from BBDO in Toronto to the Vancouver affiliate of Lanyon Phillips. My client experience included BC Hydro and the Nisgaa Land Treaty, a once in a lifetime assignment.

I was an Account director at BBDO Advertising, one of the world's global leaders at the time. Great exposure to some huge branding projects, including Pepsi. From New York ad agency exposure, to Pepsi-Man in Quebec, this was a fun experience!

Account Supervisor on Moosehead Breweries, Samsung, and other accounts. Most memorable moments were making beer commercials in the Maritimes - I was so lucky to get to experience lots of amazing trips to the East Coast exploring Halifax, Yarmouth, St. Johns, Fredericton...and even whale watching in Digby, Nova Scotia. Amazing part of our country, amazing clients, amazing experience.

Fresh out of university, I cut my teeth at Ogilvy and Mathers on global brands including Duracell, The World Wildlife Fund, Glaxo Pharmaceuticals, and Quaker Oats...to name a few. Strong memories include getting to attend a WWF dinner with Prince Phillip, many trips to Peterborough to the Quaker Oats head office, and attending the annual Duracell conference in Phoenix, Arizona. (I was lucky to get the invite!)
