Coaching and HR Consulting
Hi, I'm MEGAN
(pronounced Meegan)…
STRATEGIC ADVISOR | WORKPLACE CULTURE CONSULTANT | Leadership & team coach and facilitator
My work is about helping organizations create great workplaces, and leaders to show up as the most impactful and fulfilled version of themselves. I live with the idea that we (humans) are here not just to survive but to thrive, and a big part of our life is our professional experience.
Prior to starting my coaching and consulting business, I worked as an HR executive, and for the last 10 years of my career in the corporate realm, I led the HR function across Canada as National Director of Human Resources for one of the world’s largest law firms. My mandate included leading HR strategy through every stage of organizational change and challenge imaginable: from acquiring other firms, combining with an international entity, to pivoting HR strategy through the recession of 2008. I have envisioned and executed programs related to performance management, learning & development, culture, automation of HR operations and employer branding. External achievements include earning BC Top Employer status for several consecutive years.
Having grown and refined my professional experience in the legal industry, I could not have had a better education in effectively solving business problems and pivoting strategy - skills that serve me well in my current work as a coach and consultant across multiple industries.

Beyond my professional experience, I am a committed lifelong learner, and regularly partake in ongoing education related to advanced leadership, professional coaching, mental health awareness, psychological safety and mindfulness studies.
I am an active contributor in leadership, women’s leadership and HR professional communities. I keep my communication skills sharp with witty banter honed through my membership with Toastmasters.
I believe that how we interact with other humans, in the big and small ways, every day, really matters. I think laughter is the best medicine and I do it often. I strive for results in business and in life, but I seek fun at the same time. I live with a curiosity and passion for living my best life and I want the same for others.
The quote that inspires me everyday
“Tell me what is it you will do with your one wild and precious life.”
