Helping Leaders and Teams Stay Steady Under Pressure

I help leaders and teams stay steady under pressure — not by asking them to push harder, but by creating the conditions where people can finally exhale, think clearly, and work well together.

Most people don’t need to be more resilient.
They need environments where it’s safe to be human: to speak honestly, reflect openly, and respond thoughtfully when things are hard.

That belief sits at the heart of my work.

Why this work matters to me

I’ve worked in high-stress environments and dysfunctional teams, and I know the quiet toll that pressure, poor communication, and self-censorship can take.

I’ve also been part of and led high-performing teams where trust, challenge, and collaboration coexist. Where people feel seen, heard, and supported, even in complex or high-stakes situations.

What I’ve learned through these experiences is that the difference between a high-performing team and a struggling one is rarely talent or effort.
It’s how well people do the simple, human things — consistently.

Connection.
Compassion.
Curiosity.
Clear communication.

That’s the work I help leaders and teams return to.

How I work

My approach is practical, grounded, and heart-centred. I blend evidence-informed neuroscience, leadership development, and experiential learning to help people:

• regulate stress and strong emotions

• think more clearly under pressure

• communicate with greater trust and honesty

• build psychologically safe, resilient teams

I don’t offer off-the-shelf programs. Every engagement is intentionally tailored to the people, context, and realities at hand.

A bit about my background

I’m a resilience educator, psychological safety facilitator, and team coach with over 27 years of experience across critical care nursing, health sciences, leadership development, facilitation, and coaching.

Through my company, Tailor Making Health, I’ve been designing and delivering customized programs since 2011 for:

• municipal, provincial, and federal governments

• first responders (police and fire services)

• leadership teams and boards

• healthcare and community organizations

• athletes and performance-based teams

I’m known for my grounded presence, practical tools, and ability to create learning environments where people feel safe enough to reflect, learn, and move forward together.

What guides my work

My philosophy is simple:

Calm is contagious — and so is good leadership.

When leaders are steady, teams feel it.
When teams feel safe, performance follows.

That’s the ripple effect I help organizations create.
