It is my privilege to live and work in Kjipuktuk (Halifax) on the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq People. This land is part of Mi’kma’ki and is covered by the Peace and Friendship Treaty of 1752.
I invite you to consider the 94 Calls to Action from Canada’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission. We are all treaty people.
I’m Peter. I’m here to help!
Throughout my career, I’ve helped hundreds of people to be more effective in their work - and have supported leaders to in new approaches to better support their people and their missions.
I can help you too!
My Services
Recruitment and selection
People are an organizations most valuable strategic asset - and yet for many, posting a vacancy on a job board is the extent of their candidate search.
I can help you design recruitment and selection processes that ensure you find the right person for the job - and avoid the costly consequences of hiring the wrong person!
Responding to complaints - investigation allegations
Dealing with employee complaints or allegations about other employees can be a source of significant stress - and can present a real risk to your business and its reputation.
I can help you design an open and transparent processes to address complaints and allegations - and can advise on best practice going forward including policy development and action plans to prevent the same issues recurring.
Coaching
Sometimes our managers and leaders need extra support in their role. Whether it’s coaching around specific parts of their role such as performance management of teams or delegation - or simply helping them to consider and integrate new approaches, a little coaching can go a long way.
Policy development and implementation
Some policies are straight-forward and easy to develop - but others require research into best practice, regulatory requirements, and consultation with a broad group of stakeholders.
I can help you determine the best way forward to create your policy, create a plan, and work with you to ensure the final policy reflects operational needs and the mission and values of your organization.

Is your business scaling up and hiring more people? Or, have you employed people for a while, but haven’t created a system to ensure you’re keeping the right records, monitoring performance, and mitigating risk? I can help!

HR System Audits
What’s in your employee files? Contracts? Training records? Policy sign-offs? Work Permits?
For many busy employers - particularly those who manage their own HR - the answer isn’t always clear - or consistent!
If you are concerned your record keeping hasn’t been what it should be - or would like a review of your HR System to ensure it is fit for purpose, I can help. If needed, we can also work together on a plan to address any issues we find!
Training and Training Audits
Training new people and supporting our employees to continue their own professional development is key in ensuring our organizations are effective in achieving their goals, ready to meet future challenges, and able to create new opportunities.
