Trainer Profile: Al has been coaching and helping clients implement personal and organizational change in the workplace for over 35 years. He is a Master Trainer with international experience coaching and training executives, managers and professionals. His overseas experience has honed his sensitivity to diversity issues within North American organizations. He possesses a degree in Education with a minor in Business; diplomas in Counselling and in Instructional Methodology. He has held senior management positions in Organizational Development, Human Resources, Consulting and Training.

Al uses the 'Socratic Method' in his coaching and training approach. Lots of critical questions to draw out the real issues and truths that are preventing growth and productivity. No new-age philosophies that are currently in vogue.... just hard-core, down-to-earth questions that focus on what is most important to the individual client, group, or organization.

His solid knowledge and background in coaching, facilitating, training, and management has been acquired from years of actual front-line experience with organizations such as:

• Bombardier
• Canadian Tire
• Petro-Canada
• The Toronto Hospital
• Foothills Hospital in Calgary
• Island Hearing Services
• Pan Canadian
• Husky Oil
• Numerous other businesses in the public and private sector.

He is a published business writer and his articles have appeared in both Canadian and U.S. magazines.
