I’ve had the privilege of supporting leaders at TC Energy\, the City of Calgary and the Calgary Fire Department\, Electronic Arts\, Bayer\, Hull Services\, and other mission-driven organizations across sectors. I design and deliver learning experiences that are practical\, participatory\, and immediately operational – whether through executive workshops\, keynote speaking\, immersive team sessions\, or long-term leadership development programs. My approach is grounded in the Right Use of Power\, deep coaching practice\, and over a decade of work in addiction and mental health\, where clarity\, compassion\, and accountability are non-negotiable. \n\nJeff Couillard’s linkedin\nJeff Couillard’s instagram\nJeff Couillard’s website\n\n  \nLeah Fink \nMy passion is supporting employees’ mental health in the workplace.
