CEO at Habitat for Humanity SSMA
Sault Ste. Marie, Canada
“Alex facilitated conversations that were open, honest, and respectful. His approach was exactly what I needed.
He challenged my work habits and tested my way of thinking. Alex helped me to develop impactful but simple tactics that are applicable not only to my work, but to my staff and volunteers as well.
This has been transformational to my organization. I feel refreshed and motivated to lead my team to success.
My journey will continue, but as a result of my coaching with Alex, I am that much closer to my goal of becoming a ‘visionary leader.’”

“Alex has a remarkable ability to ask precisely the right questions at the right time, creating space for deeper reflection and insight. Consistently, I entered our conversations feeling burdened by complexity, and left with clarity.
Our work together transformed how I leverage my leadership capacity and positively impacted our organizational outcomes. Through thoughtful guidance and challenging dialogue, I moved beyond tactical problem-solving to a more strategic, results-oriented approach to leadership.
My work with Alex elevated my ability to lead through ambiguity and change.”

“I constantly challenged Alex to tell me what I needed to hear—not just what I wanted to hear.
Through a process of exploration and accountability, together, we created a path forward to navigate a challenging situation.
I also appreciated the initial discovery phases, which ensured we were a good fit for each other.
Now recharged, refocused, and revived, I feel more confident to make change happen.”

“I spent a year debating whether to approach Alex about coaching together. Before reaching out, I felt overwhelmed by conflicting ideas about my personal and professional life.
After just one session I was amazed at how Alex helped me identify and prioritize what truly matters to me, and that clarity only deepened over our nine sessions together. His unique ability to ask thought-provoking questions that shift your perspective is rare and remarkable.
If you're unsure, I recommend scheduling a consultation call to see why so many people hold him in such high regard. Alex makes the entire session about you and how you can achieve your goals, whatever they are. You'll be shocked how much you get out of one conversation.”

“I began working with Alex during a period of career soul-searching.
During several coaching periods over two years, Alex has worked with me to identify what I want out of life, holistically as well as professionally, for both the short-term and the long-term. This work has led to a major new direction in my career and significant shifts in my lifestyle, all of which Alex has helped me to reckon with and navigate.
He has brought to all our conversations an incredible level of depth and sensitivity, emotional connectivity and intelligence, intuitiveness, thoughtful questions, and a calm presence, both warm and non-judgmental.
Alex is wonderful at helping you confront, think through and address the strategic questions – whether in regard to your professional impact or personal life – in addition to helping you identify and take the specific steps needed to advance in the direction you want to go.”

"I think of Alex as a true Question Master. He asks meaningful questions that expose my most fundamental goals, and challenges my limiting beliefs to clear the runway for takeoff.
I entered coaching with some hesitation after previous experiences left me feeling more confused. After only a few weeks, Alex shattered this feeling.
We worked through personal goals, career goals, and an entrepreneurial endeavour, all during significant change in my life. With Alex's guidance I made consistent, tangible progress.
Excited to continue our journey together!"
Family-First Entrepreneur + ex-BCG

“I worked with Alex for 6 months to help me establish an online business as a side hustle, while maintaining balance in my life and enjoying the process.
Through my own interest in self-improvement, I had all the right ideas in my head but I wasn't able to apply these ideas at an emotional level. This meant I was stressed and doubting my plans instead of making progress.
The meaningful conversations and custom reflection exercises with Alex helped me to achieve a higher level of clarity, trust and excitement for achieving my vision of independence and abundance. Together we established and practiced a process that has helped me be more productive and confident and celebrate the many wins along the way.
As part of the process, I have been able to document my vision, purpose, successes and learnings which continue to fuel my growth and enjoyment.”

“If you're looking to create and realize a vision, I highly recommend Alex.
When we started, my business was stagnant and I was stuck in anxiety and frustration. Alex’s thoughtful observations and prompts gave me valuable insight into how I was creating this environment. With his help, I developed a clear vision of what I truly wanted and actionable steps to achieve it. Confronting my limiting beliefs led to significant growth.
Our conversations helped me shed self-doubt and embrace new and exciting possibilities for my work. My business has grown more in the past few months than ever before, in large part due to our work together. Being a business owner can be overwhelming, but having Alex’s support has been invaluable. Thank you, Alex!”

"Working with Alex was a true pleasure. He creates a very safe, comfortable, inviting and fun space. He's supportive while not shying away from sharing observations about discrepancies he notices.
Alex has a vast array of coaching tools and techniques. I tend to default to linear and pragmatic and Alex was able to open up a whole new side to my thinking - around using some more creative (and even artistic) approaches.
I never thought I'd be one to appreciate those elements, but they have made me feel more well-rounded and equipped to tackle or just view things from different angles. I highly recommend Alex as a coach."
Group Controller at Linamar
Guelph, Canada
“Alex reached out to me at an opportune moment. My personal life was evolving and keeping the status quo professionally was not an option.
We developed a set of priorities with which I could assess life’s choices and opportunities. I also developed the perspectives and tools to allow what I deem most important to flow with whatever the future brings.
Before we started our coaching sessions, I was expecting to gain clarity on how to manage my career. What I ended up with were concrete methods to manage, and more importantly, own my entire life.
What surprised me most was that I wasn’t too far off from a self-defined ideal; my thought and behaviour patterns only needed tweaking.
I’m grateful to Alex and would whole-heartedly recommend him to anyone looking for guidance and a venue to explore new or challenging ideas.”
Senior Director at Super + ex-BCG

“Alex challenged thought patterns that weren’t helpful to me and remained calm despite my emotions. I needed that.
I improved my head space, was able to find inner confidence and change my frame of reference on work.
This was great - I would recommend it to anyone!”
Project Leader at BCG + Jazz Drummer

“Alex provided insightful guidance and facilitation of my inner monologue, during a time where I was looking for clarity and intention in my career. He is genuinely curious to get to know you, deeply patient in letting you find your own words, and ever-focused on providing value towards your goal.
I have learned that coaching is akin to personal training – you know it’ll have a positive impact on you, but you’re hesitant to pay for something you think you can figure out yourself via online self-help and ChatGPT.
However, once you try it, you realize it was more efficient and effective to have the guidance of someone who has the mastery to pinpoint specific themes and guide you with deeply insightful questions.
Through my time with Alex, I have set the foundations blocks of what I hope to feel in a fulfilling career, exercises for me re-evaluate where I am, and a habit of sharing progress with my community. Thank you Alex!”
Director People and Culture at Springboard

“Alex facilitated an insightful, engaging session at our annual Staff Event.
He was a thoughtful collaborator and I appreciated how his curiosity and holistic thinking led to a meaningful opportunity for our staff. He provided post-event activities so that the learning could be further embedded.
Embracing change can be a challenging topic, and the session had a good mix of independent work, small and large group discussion as well as leveraging fun engagement opportunities.
Post-event feedback results identified that much of the key learnings of the Staff Event stemmed from Alex’s session.”

“The Leadership Connections group program which Alex created, helped me to move from contemplate to action.
The regular cadence of meetings fueled accountability. The impact had from learning from other participants was truly a pleasant (and unexpected) outcome of the program.
Alex is an incredibly skilled and thoughtful coach - such a pleasure to work with and truly helps participants challenge and advance their thinking and approach towards their goal.”
Senior Director at CREO + ex-BCG + Rhodes Scholar
Montreal, Canada
“There’s something incredibly powerful about navigating real progress towards your professional and personal goals in a small group setting, thoughtfully curated by Alex.
Peers give you the support you need and opportunity for diverse feedback, all while you learn from their own change journeys throughout the program. 1:1s with Alex in between help you deep dive.
If you’re seeking to achieve a leadership goal and feel challenged by making progress, I’d highly recommend the Leadership Connections program.”
