CAREER HIGHLIGHTS

Previously responsible for the overarching leadership development, learning and collaboration strategy at TELUS.

I helped to drive a philosophical and cultural shift in the way TELUS views and experiences leadership with the introduction of the TELUS Leadership Philosophy (TLP), an open and collaborative-based leadership framework for all TELUS team members, alongside a litany of collaboration technologies.

This included the launch of “Learning 2.0”; the shift to a social, informal and formal learning and collaboration model for all 43,000+ team members, bringing TELUS to the forefront of learning leadership.

Amazingly, over my tenure, employee engagement at TELUS skyrocketed from 53% to 87%.

Prior to TELUS, I spent six years in the business intelligence space as the Head of University of Business Intelligence (UBI), an outfit that sat at SAP, Business Objects and Crystal Decisions. I also spent five years in higher education helping launch the High-Tech Professional Department of the British Columbia Institute of Technology. I even spent three years teaching high school.

Over my career, I have been the recipient of over twenty industry awards.

SPEAKING

Part of what makes me tick is speaking, and I’ve been fortunate to have been invited to deliver many, many, many keynotes and presentations since 2008 including four different TEDx Talks. (You can book him to speak here.)

WRITING

In addition to books, I occasionally write articles and columns that can be found on Forbes, Harvard Business Review and The Huffington Post.

In 2012 I appeared on the covers of T+D Magazine and Chief Learning Officer Magazine and didn’t even break the camera lens.

THE FAM JAM

When I’m not cycling, I’m goofing around with my better half, Denise, and the goats – Claire, Cole and Cate. Visit their blogs – they’d love to hear from you.
