Why reach out?
Every organization faces unique hurdles, whether you are navigating a leadership transition or redefining your long-term vision. Reaching out is the first step toward building a more resilient team. I am available for consultations across the Northwest Territories, offering both in-person sessions in communities like Fort Smith, Hay River, and Yellowknife, as well as virtual facilitation for remote boards. I am also available for workshops and consulting in-person or remotely across the North and Canada.
What to expect?
When you contact Fortitude Insights, we’ll start with a brief discovery call to discuss your specific needs—whether that is a one-day leadership workshop, a comprehensive strategic planning retreat, or long-term organizational development support. My goal is to ensure our partnership provides the high-level executive insight your team deserves.
Location & Service Area
Based in Fort Smith, NWT, Fortitude Insights proudly serves the entire North. I frequently travel to provide on-site NWT consulting services to Indigenous governments, educational institutions, and non-profit boards. No matter how remote your location, I am committed to bringing professional facilitation to your doorstep.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Do you offer virtual sessions? Yes, I provide full-service virtual facilitation for teams spread across the NWT and Canada.
- What is your typical lead time? I generally recommend booking 4–6 weeks in advance for major strategic planning sessions. However, I am open to shorter turnaround times if necessary.
- How do you tailor your approach for Northern organizations? Every session is designed with a 'North-first' perspective. Having spent three decades living and working in the NWT, I understand that organizational development here requires more than just a template—it requires an appreciation for community dynamics, cultural diversity, and the unique logistical realities of the North. Whether we are in a boardroom in Yellowknife or a community hall in a smaller hamlet, the facilitation is adapted to your specific local context.
- Can you assist with Board Governance and training? Absolutely. Effective strategic planning starts with a strong foundation of governance. I provide specialized training for boards of directors to help clarify roles, improve decision-making processes, and ensure alignment with the organization’s mission. This is particularly beneficial for non-profits and Indigenous governments looking to strengthen their leadership capacity and long-term resilience.
- Are your team-building workshops "out of the box" or custom-designed? I do not believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Every team-building workshop I facilitate is custom-designed from the ground up based on your group’s current dynamics and specific challenges. Whether your team is navigating a period of rapid change, resolving internal conflict, or simply looking to re-align with a shared mission, I use evidence-based tools to ensure the session translates into lasting workplace improvements rather than just a one-day event.
- What levels of management do your leadership training programs cover? My leadership training is designed for the full spectrum of Northern leadership—from emerging supervisors and mid-level managers to seasoned C-suite executives and board members. By focusing on core competencies such as emotional intelligence, strategic decision-making, and resilient communication, I help leaders at all levels develop the confidence needed to guide their organizations through the complexities of the Northern operational landscape.
