Landmark Forum Leader Candidate
-
Sep 2017 - Present
The Landmark Forum offers a practical methodology for producing breakthroughs—achievements that are extraordinary, outside of what’s predictable. The Landmark Forum is grounded in a model of transformative learning—a way of learning that gives people an awareness of the basic structures in which they know, think, and act. From that awareness comes a fundamental shift that leaves people more fully in accord with their own possibilities and those of others. Participants find themselves able to think and act beyond existing views and limits—in their personal and professional lives, relationships, and wider communities of interest. Show less

With 10 years of pro experience competing on Canada’s international beach and indoor volleyball teams, I work with over 300 star performers like you each year to seize your dreams. Together, we’ll sharpen your mental edge—so you can own a champion mindset even in clutch moments, knockout the self-limiting beliefs that are crippling your confidence, and develop strong leadership skills that’ll give you a leg-up in sports and your everyday life. I’ve been there and done that, so I’ll bring my experience and compassion to every session, so we can dig deep together and uncover what’s really holding you back from breakthrough performance.

Professional Motivational Speaker
-
2001 - Present
I have been a professional motivational speaker for about 15 years. I have also trained for 3 years with one of the premier training and development organizations in the world. I am know as a dynamic speaker who instantly cuts through the barriers separating high performers from the next level of performance, drawing from my practical, hands-on experience as a world-class, professional beach volleyball players who won 2 international gold medals and the Canadian National Championships and the theoretical training I received in my Master’s of Arts in sport and performance psychology Whether that’s helping sales teams with the psychology of selling, human resources teams with the psychology of people, or high performance athletes with the psychology of winning, customer feedback has indicated that the tools I provide make an immediate difference in the performance of those in attendance and that they love the analogies back to sport since it makes them feel like Olympic athletes themselves. My keynote addresses are done in a non-traditional, hands-on, workshop-keynote format such that every participant has the experience that they were ‘in the game’ along with me, learning the mental tools and techniques to push them to the next level of their 'game’. My Olympic-level volleyball experience adds an extra edge to my speaking engagements, as I bring in my world-level gold medals, and speak on how sporting excellence mirrors excellence in the field. Basically, I use the fundamentals of performance and sport psychology to provide corporations and their employees with tangible, easy to use, instantly applicable, cutting edge tools and techniques that instantly ‘up their game’.
