Futureproofing Global Leaders & Organizations | Adaptability, Cultural Agility, EQ, & AI | Certified Leadership Coach, Trainer & Consultant

South American prisons taught me resilience. 

Global boardrooms taught me strategy. 

AI taught me to adapt faster and push further than I thought possible 

Now, I help leaders, teams, and organizations do the same.

AI is moving fast. 

Faster than most leaders can keep up. 

If you’re leading a team or organization, you’re already feeling the pressure. The decisions are tougher. 

The expectations are higher. 

The human needs greater.

And the pace? Relentless.  

That’s where I come in.  

For over 20 years, I’ve worked with professionals across industries to:  
→ Build resilience and confidence to lead through rapid change.  
→ Simplify the complex (like AI), and turn it into a tool for smarter decisions, better outcomes, and stronger teams.  
→ Create frameworks that blend emotional intelligence (EQ), adaptability quotient (AQ), and AI-driven insights to future-proof leadership.  

Here’s why it works:  
𝗚𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘀𝗲: I’ve coached leaders and teams in 50+ 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀, helping them adapt and excel in fast-changing environments.  
𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹-𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁: I’ve partnered with professionals across healthcare, tech, nonprofits, and more to tackle complex challenges and drive meaningful results.  
𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗴𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀: My strategies have been featured in Fast Company, Newsweek, US News & World Report, Business Insider, and Entrepreneur.

DM me: 𝗙𝗨𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗘-𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗗𝗬.

I’ll show you how to simplify AI, strengthen your leadership, and thrive in a fast-changing world.  

Or don’t.  

I’ll still be here...
helping leaders stay ahead, adapt with confidence, and define their future.

LeadWell’s global consulting services include coaching, assessments, employee experience planning, meeting facilitation, team building, and training. We address some of the most critical areas facing people and organizations today, including Improving Individual & Organizational Wellbeing, Increasing Adaptability, Raising Emotional Intelligence, and Working Across Cultures

I'm passionate about a company’s culture and how that gets created and defined as part of a company’s vision and strategy.    

I have a track record of success playing a pivotal role working alongside Leaders, Employees, and C-Suite executives focusing on culture, development, and growth especially during times of significant change.  

For example at D2L, we doubled the size of the workforce and took the company public which was exciting and challenging all at the same time.  I excel in my role as Head of People and Culture by aligning culture strategy and people needs with the business strategy. 

At Open Text, the integration of 35 acquired companies required fostering cultural integration which I led across the enterprise during the company's evolution.  I also lead many varied functions progressing in my role - inclusive of Business Partners, Talent Acquisition, Shared Services, Learning, Employee Relations, Global Mobility, Talent Management, Compliance and Policies, and M&A. 

One of the best parts of my roles as being an HRBP to the leaders, and building relationships and trust to drive results in an empathetic and results oriented plan - with high execution.  

My passion lies in cultivating an inclusive, high performance culture that drives growth and supports inclusion and diversity across a business.  

I've proven throughout my career the capability and strength to lead organizational and cultural change especially during high-growth,  Mergers and Acquisitions, organizational and leadership change, and building an extraordinary People & Culture team that aligns to business goals and strategy,  while fostering employee engagement, psychological safety, and leadership and employee development.   

I am an empathetic leader who is highly accountable, loves to partner to drive results, passionate about culture as foundational and I have a unique blend of experience from Leading a People and Culture team, to a  focused team of HRBPS, M&A, Talent Acquisition, Shared Services, Employee Relations, Global Mobility, Talent Development, and Learning professionals. 

Over 9 years, D2L’s People & Culture team has won more than 50 awards for its talent programs, including: Glassdoor’s Best Places to Work (2022), Canada’s Best Workplace Culture (2022), Canada’s Best Diversity Employers (2023), HR Innovation, and Waterstone Human Capital’s Most Admired Canadian Corporate Cultures (2017, 2020).
