Electrifying individuals and teams through common sense directness and passionate honesty. ~ Honour the PAST ~ Live in the PRESENT ~ Harness the FUTURE

Chris is a born and raised Saskatchewan boy whose connection with the province's wide-open spaces has left him with the belief that any individual or organization can have a wide-open future with the right coaching and direction. A firm believer in the uniqueness and intrinsic value of every individual in an organization, Chris can engage any audience with his common- sense directness, and passionate honesty. With more than a decade of experience in daily inspiring and leading teams in designing, developing, and deploying organization-wide initiatives, Chris is no stranger to the challenges of change and the ways to harness the power it can provide.

Chris has many years of experience in multiple industries giving him an upper hand in navigation complex multi-layered, multi-department initiatives.  Many years of experience working for and with government agencies within Saskatchewan and abroad, giving him the understanding of what will be required to succeed. He has worked with many outside firms and has a renowned character for working with and amongst Indigenous people.

He is a highly regarded non-Indigenous man in Indigenous communities. Chris was given the Cree name 'Mistapew; Big Man – Big Voice – Big Heart, which is a sign of trust and relationship and his importance in the journey forward for Aboriginal People. His strength, resiliency and passion for reconciliation from a non-Aboriginal perspective is palpable.  He brings with that a passion for change in this country that captures the interest of audience members of all ages.  He is passionate about the message and as a result motivates audiences to action. Chris' desire to see and experience reconciliation in this nation drives him forward in creating Indigenous Awareness – to virtually everyone he meets.  Chris has heart and passion for the current generation and the important role to play, as we must role model the way through humility and an honest desire to understand.

Chris never leaves a project or an organization without creating connections that are lasting and effective in addressing the needs of the client. His commitment to client need means any training or education will always go beyond expectations and therefore provide clients with a solid foundation for achieving the goals they set out for their organization. All the while having one goal in mind of leaving a better tomorrow for his two growing boys to enjoy and prosper in.
