Me

As a Canadian - now living in Switzerland - I have my roots in the world of hockey. I worked for many years as a player, coach and manager for top teams in Germany and Switzerland. I also had the opportunity to work with Team Canada at six Spengler Cup tournaments.

Since 1999 I have worked full-time as in-house trainer, coach and keynote-speaker. My education (University of Manitoba, Bachelor of Education and Bachelor of Physical Education) provided an ideal foundation for my work today. I extended this with further education as a trainer and speaker in Australia and Canada. 

Early on, I identified the link between high performance in sport and high performance in business as there are many parallels between these two worlds. Drawing on my past experiences in professional sport, I have many personal examples and exciting real-life stories to share. My passion is leadership development. This includes coaching, team vision, team work, motivation, high-performance, communication and psychology of winning.

I believe that the development of leaders and leadership is the competitive advantage.

The core of my philosophy is that leadership development is an inside-out process. It begins by defining clear values and creating a mission on a personal level. This leads to effective leadership on a professional level.
