Our Council had a lot of work to do when we first got elected, and Andrew helped us get on the right track and was instrumental in our early reorganizing efforts.

EXECUTIVE COACH

Philosophy

I’ve worked with hundreds of Chiefs and senior managers on intensive projects and helped them deal with difficult decisions, so I understand the issues they face. I know that First Nations leaders are smart, committed, strong-willed individuals who care about their people and Nation. And they carry a phenomenal amount of responsibility from the moment they’re selected to lead.

Think about it. First Nations organizations manage growing asset bases. Our leaders influence how these valuable resources are managed. With so much at stake, it makes good business sense to create an environment that optimizes our leaders’ effectiveness. This is what executive coaching does, by supporting senior managers and leaders to:

  • Develop a clear vision for organizational, career and life goals 
  • Become more successful at achieving goals
  • Learn from personal and professional experiences
  • Recognize and overcome hindrances to achieving goals
  • Sustain strong working relationships
  • Employ existing assets to reach strategic objectives
  • Share coaching tools with colleagues
