about LumiLead

We believe leaders set the tone for their organizations and the best workplaces are great because there are effective leaders who genuinely care about the success of their people.

LumiLead offers leadership development designed by women for women. Our leadership courses and workshops combine teaching, discussion and one-on-one coaching. This provides various opportunities to learn, grow and network with other like-minded women. 

Leadership is a journey and ours has led us here. We’ve taken our experience and education to create a company that supports other women to become inspiring leaders.

I love anything to do with leadership and could (and have) spend hours talking about it.

I am especially interested in supporting women and building their confidence throughout their leadership journey.

I have a light-hearted, easy-going nature and I don’t take myself too seriously. Some of my greatest learnings as a leader have come from failure. This has allowed me to self-reflect and use these moments as opportunities to grow and develop. 

I have a Master of Arts in Educational Leadership and a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology.  I am accredited in emotional intelligence and Personality Dimensions. I am a Certified Executive Coach and have my ACC designation from the International Coaching Federation. In addition I am trained as a Certified Positive Mental Fitness Coach and a Rethinking Impostor Syndrome Coach Practitioner.

I’m a self-proclaimed leadership nerd who’s a little bit cheeky and whole lot passionate about gender equity.

I get fired up when I see or experience injustice and I have a vision of what workplaces could be. 

I love to transform something strong into something superb. That’s why I work with bright, high-achieving women and support them in their leadership journey to becoming confident, effective leaders. 

I am a Certified Executive Coach, have a Master of Arts in Leadership and accreditations in emotional intelligence, change management, and communications. I have a genuine desire to create positive change, working with clients and as Chair of the Board of Directors of City Kidz Regina and Co-Chair of Women in Leadership – Saskatchewan Chapter.

A Book by Lumilead

A resource for new leaders

There is a gap between being an employee and being a manager. The skills you need to be successful as an employee are not the same skills you need to lead other people. Yet being promoted to a management position is often a reward for being great at one’s job.

Many new leaders make the leap from being highly proficient and, therefore, very confident in their non-management roles to suddenly being responsible for the success of others. More often than not, this happens with no additional training or support.

In this book, we share the experiences and insights we have acquired about leadership. The things we have learned through: formal education, such as master’s degrees and post-graduate certificates in executive coaching; certifications, like Prosci change management and Emotional Intelligence; and on-the-job experiences and observations—have been pulled together in one place to support others to fill the gap and make the leap from being a great employee to becoming an effective leader.
