Biography
Before joining The Refinery, Tim spent ten years designing and managing experiential outdoor leadership development programs in Canada, Mexico and the United States. He took his leadership training classroom to some of the most remote parts of the world – from the glacial fiords of Alaska, to the Sierra Gigante Mountains of Mexico, to the offshore waters of the Pacific Ocean. In these places he taught participants to lead their peers and negotiate the myriad of interpersonal and environmental challenges of extended self-supported wilderness expeditions. Tim has grounded his outdoor leadership development work with more traditional corporate management experience with The Refinery. He has also co-authored a monthly series entitled ‘Leadership Lessons’ in a prominent Vancouver business publication. Tim is certified to deliver the EQ-in-Action (Emotional Intelligence) and the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). He holds a BSc in Biochemistry from the University of British Columbia and an MA in Leadership and Training from Royal Roads University. Besides Tim’s corporate work, his passion for coaching is evident in the more than 100 hours a year he dedicates to volunteer youth athletic coaching in his community.
