Partner

Embed and Sustain the Work

Collaboration at our core: We believe good work is rarely done alone. When a project calls for specialized expertise, I bring in trusted consultants and subject-matter experts from across Canada to build the right team for the job. I also welcome invitations to collaborate on initiatives where my skills and approach can add value. After all, partnership is how next practice becomes shared practice.
