Here's What We Offer

---

Executive coaching at Certus Consulting is not about assuming you already have all the answers, it is about giving you the right space and support to find them. Our coaching process is designed to be both a sounding board and a catalyst, providing leaders with a confidential environment where they can test ideas, reflect honestly on challenges, and gain new perspectives that may not emerge in the day-to-day demands of leadership. Unlike mentoring, which often involves transferring knowledge from one person to another, executive coaching is a collaborative dialogue grounded in your unique goals, organizational realities, and leadership context.

This personalized, goal-oriented approach enhances performance, builds leadership capacity, and strengthens strategic impact by focusing on both the individual and the system they lead within. Leaders who work with us sharpen their decision-making, improve interpersonal effectiveness, and develop the confidence to navigate complexity with clarity and authenticity. More than a process of skills development, our coaching unlocks potential and helps leaders align who they are with how they lead—ultimately creating lasting impact for themselves, their teams, and their organizations. 

Leadership development coaching is a structured, individualized process aimed at cultivating the skills, behaviours, and mindset required for effective leadership at all levels of an organization. While executive coaching often targets those in top-tier roles, leadership development coaching is broader in scop it supports emerging leaders, mid-level managers, and senior professionals preparing for greater responsibilities. It plays a pivotal role in succession planning, talent development, and the cultivation of a resilient organizational culture.

At its foundation, leadership development coaching focuses on expanding a leader’s self-awareness, emotional intelligence, communication style, and decision-making capabilities. It emphasizes the development of key competencies such as adaptability, team building, conflict resolution, ethical leadership, and systems thinking. Through a goal-driven, reflective, and feedback-rich process, coaches help individuals identify blind spots, leverage strengths, and adopt behaviours aligned with organizational values and leadership expectations.

In today’s environment of volatility, constrained resources, and system-level complexity, leadership cannot rely on legacy models or intuition alone. Drawing from over two decades of executive experience in healthcare operations, academic research, and legal innovation, Certus provides bespoke strategic advisory services to senior leaders, boards of directors, and public sector executives navigating transformative change.

Our advisory work is grounded in interdisciplinary leadership theory, practical systems knowledge, and behavioural insight supporting organizations to lead with clarity in ambiguous conditions. Services include one-on-one executive counsel, strategic planning facilitation, governance development, leadership transition planning, and the application of our proprietary LEAF Framework, which integrates emotional intelligence, accountability, and ethical foresight.

Clients engage this service when facing organizational redesigns, sectoral disruption, labour or political complexity, or when preparing emerging leaders for executive roles. This is a high-trust, high-impact advisory engagement tailored for decision-makers responsible for shaping institutional futures.

Creating psychologically safe and high-performing workplaces demands more than compliance, it requires integrated wellness strategies that are proactive, evidence-based, and aligned with both human and organizational performance goals.

With national recognition for advancing mental health in the workplace, and deep operational experience in unionized, high-risk, and healthcare environments, we provide comprehensive consulting services focused on occupational wellness, psychological safety, and organizational health strategy. These services support employers in identifying psychosocial risks, responding effectively to critical incidents, and developing embedded wellness programs that move beyond ineffective legacy systems like traditional EAPs.

We offer tailored audits, policy and program development, and training solutions aligned with Canadian and international standards (e.g., CSA Z1003, ISO 45003). Emphasis is placed on practical integration within organizational structures, leadership accountability, and measurable impact. This service is ideal for organizations seeking to reduce mental health-related absenteeism, improve retention, or enhance overall workforce wellbeing.

Using behavioural science we perform and audit on your workplace to address potential issues as you implement change within your organization.  Organizational readiness audits are structured assessments designed to evaluate whether an organization is prepared structurally, culturally, and operationally to undertake and sustain a planned change initiative. These audits serve as a foundational step in evidence-informed change management, identifying both enablers and barriers before resources are deployed. They are especially critical in complex environments such as healthcare, government, or unionized sectors, where systemic resistance, legacy systems, or regulatory pressures can undermine transformation efforts.

At Certus Consulting, we help organizations navigate complexity with clarity, purpose, and measurable impact. Grounded in both academic research and decades of leadership experience, our management consulting services focus on aligning strategy with execution, building resilient teams, and creating systems that foster innovation and accountability. We partner with executives and boards to solve pressing challenges, streamline operations, and strengthen organizational culture so that leaders can make informed decisions with confidence. Every solution we design is evidence-based, practical, and tailored to your unique context because real change is never one-size-fits-all, it is built through insight, integrity, and action.
