Prioritized Values - Expanding our ability to reflect on what kind of values we prioritize in the western world, our personal lives and workplace environments. In order to decolonize we need to understand the current values we tend to focus on the most.
Out of Balance - Once we can clearly identity what values we are over prioritizing in our current society they we can unpack what the impacts are on a personal and societal/structural level.
Ideas for Change - Once we can see where we are out of balance and can clearly name what is lacking, then we open to new possibilities. Here we can start to build tangible changes that create healthier and more effective work environments
Take a moment to reflect on how much you were raised to value ‘productivity’. At its core this value is a wonderful and important part of any society or individual's life. Pushed too far however, over-productivity can lead to a wide range of negative side effects such as burnout, lack of relationship building or limited patience. When time and energy aren’t invested into other values like self-care or relationship building, things can become out of balance. In this workshop we will explore what values are being prioritized and what other values might help bring more balance. Using communication exercises, value reflection charts and group breakout conversations we will take a deeper look at what could bring more balance to our lives and the systems we are a part of.
Healthy Masculinity for Men, Sports Teams & Male Professionals
Healthy Masculinity for Men, Sports Teams & Male Professionals
The need for healthy male models is greater than ever. So much research shows us that almost every marker of success is dependent on having male role models in our lives to help us along our journey of growth and development.
There are certain things that our current education system is not teaching that is critically important for men and young men to thrive and succeed in life. Even more so, this content needs to be delivered in a way that holds their attention with a balance of fun and meaningful activities. Weaving beatboxing and raps about healthy masculinity help create an engaging and powerful experience.
In my approach I like to use exercises that engage the body, spark the imagination and use diagrams to get across complex concepts in simple ways. At the heart of my intention is to continue to find a variety of ways to make the process of becoming a great man a enjoyable and fulfilling one.
Areas of Exploration & Skill building:
Healthy relationships & sexuality - Unpacking the messages that porn tends to teach (Roughness, D-size, lack of emotional connection) - learning things that help them navigate sexuality with greater awareness and humility. Consent and attunement to another person are unpacked in depth in this section.
Assertiveness vs Aggression - Understanding the difference between these two energies and expression is possibly the most important thing a human can learn. It's all about finding the balance between confidence and safety. Between speaking your truth in a judgemental and non judgemental way. How to set boundaries and respect others boundaries as well
How to empathize with another person and how to name your own feelings and needs - This is about the skill of listening to understand someone else. Cultivating patience, care, understanding, curiosity for ourselves and others.
Understanding male social conditioning - There tends to be a set of rules of who your supposed to be and not supposed to be ("Restrictive Masculinity") that we learn as men growing up. Often we never take the time to look into how we have internalized this conditioning. I help the participants to build a new male social code where they can start to influence each other in healthier ways.
Learning the skills of taking accountability. How to own up to making mistakes in life. How to acknowledge emotional impact, reflect back what others are saying and be open to hearing new ways that could have worked better for the other person. We also unpack and explore why and how to stop using blaming as a way to cope with life.
Application through creativity - Being a hip hop artist / beatboxer I use music, theatre skits and tik toks as a medium for participants to create pieces applying what they learned.

Have some fun – Give your team the gift of fun. Ice breaking is an art and a science – this workshop has this in spades
Building a team that knows how to support each other is crucial for success. Laughter, genuine connections, healthy risk taking, peer celebration and learning more about each other are all qualities that take time to establish and normalize in your team’s chemistry. We all have different backgrounds and grow up in different ways, so setting a tone for a healthy supportive culture is key to having everyone working from the same page. This workshop grounds your team in the key skills necessary for an environment where everyone can thrive in their own role. It’s a wonderful combination of interactive fun, meaningful connection and learning tangible skills.

Indigenous Allyship Trainings
Indigenous Allyship Trainings
Necessary Truth - We need to hear the stories of indigenous peoples, past and present. I will share an example story and coach you on how to listen in an empowering way.
Empowering ways to listen - Learn how to listen to the hard truths in a way that supports indigenous people. Not all listening is necessarily helpful. Shift away from sympathy or ‘fix it’ listening to a lens of Empathy, Resilience & Brilliance.
Courageous Conversations – It takes courage and skills to navigate sensitive conversations and keep your cool. Feel more confident speaking to different social awareness categories and more adaptable working with emotional & complex individuals.
Learning about Indigenous people from past to present is becoming more normalized. Yet there is a big gap between having a basic understanding of indigenous people’s history and actually having the practical skills to be an effective ally. What do I mean by “effective’ Ally? Well how many times have you tried to have a conversation about an indigenous topic and it turns into an argument or debate? My question here is...Does this really get us what we want? Does this truly support indigenous people? Or does it in fact create bigger walls and widen the gap? In this workshop, I will teach you a variety of techniques so you can better engage with others and raise awareness about indigenous people. Let’s work towards maximizing the chances of accomplishing our goals...to support healing, increase safety, bring empowerment and create change for indigenous people.

Confidence in the Workplace
Confidence in the Workplace
Authentic confidence - When we are connected to what’s important to us, our true self shines. Learn how to infuse the energy of your core values into every word you speak and action you take.

Respectful Assertiveness – Learn how to be firm, clear and direct while maintaining respect and dignity for others
Authentic confidence is one of the greatest assets an individual can have. Yet in my experience most people rarely work on building it to its fullest potential. This workshop explores the source of where authentic confidence comes from. Connecting to our core values and living in our passion is something that can be tangibly felt from those around us. When someone embodies this ability, people listen, doors open and the foundation for trust can be built. This workshop will help each member of your team connect to what’s important to them, build up their self-belief and let their authentic confidence shine.

Communication Skills for Complex Conversations (NVC)
Communication Skills for Complex Conversations (NVC)
Turn Potential Issues into Clarity – Developing your communication skills has many benefits to your professional and personal life. It makes many situations in life that might otherwise lead to tension and conflict become something that is moved through with more ease and understanding. When complex situations inevitably arise and are handled well connection and trust develops in your team. This will strengthen your capacity to handle what comes and avoid unnecessary drawn out issues.
Resource each other – From the world of ‘Compassionate Communication’, learn how to support each other in way that ‘fills up your cup’ so you can be your best self at work and home.
Understand your Nervous System – Knowing what types of communication tend to get in the way of understanding and more likely will create defensiveness (people's nervous system leaving their window of tolerance) is crucial to creating an environment where people can be honest and work through relationship dynamics in a healthy way.
I encourage teams to adopt simple structures and awareness for communication. It supports an environment where people feel safer to express their honesty, more willing to process their daily challenges and build a generally more supportive atmosphere. The truth is we all need to be heard, we all need to be understood and we can only do this if we commit to learning the right tools. This workshop focuses on how to do this in an enjoyable & effective way.
