Who I Work With

I work with individuals and teams who want practical, conversation-focused sales and communication skills training that leads to clearer conversations, stronger relationships, and better business results.

Most of my work is with Canadian organizations—especially Winnipeg and Western Canada–based teams—who want training that feels relevant to how they actually sell and communicate, not something generic or off-the-shelf.

Alongside group workshops, I also work one-on-one and in small coaching groups to help people apply new thinking and behaviours in real deals and real internal conversations.

Background & Experience

My wife and I lived in China for 13 years and in Germany for 2½ years. During our time in China, we founded and ran our own consulting and training company, working closely with both local and multinational teams. That experience deeply shaped how I think about cross-cultural effectiveness and how people from different backgrounds learn, communicate, and work together.

Over the past 20+ years, I’ve designed and delivered professional skills training in presentation skills, sales, communication, and cross-cultural effectiveness for organizations such as:
Bayer • Merck (Germany) • Johnson & Johnson Vision Care • Essilor • Under Armour • Vans • Timberland • New Balance China • Mölnlycke • Maersk • Deutsche Bank • National Australia Bank • Capgemini • Mattel • Hasbro

Countries I’ve worked in include: Austria, Canada, China, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Poland, Russia, Singapore, South Korea, Sweden, Taiwan, U.K., United States, and Vietnam. I’m fluent in Mandarin Chinese.

Today, I’m based in Winnipeg, Canada, and deliver sales and communication skills training on-site in Winnipeg and across Canada..

My Approach to Sales & Communication Skills Training

• No slides, no lectures
  Sessions are built around real practice, feedback, and application—not passive listening. We focus on the actual conversations people are having with customers, colleagues, and leaders.

• High-energy, engaging, and fun
  Workshops move quickly, get people talking, and keep them involved. No one ever falls asleep in my workshops—people stay present because they’re actively doing, not just listening.

• Designed for experienced people
  I assume participants already know the basics and want to be challenged. The work is in sharpening how they prepare, frame conversations, ask questions, and respond in the moment.

• Grounded in Adult Accelerated Learning Techniques
  Everything is built so people remember it, use it, and see results in their day-to-day work—short concepts, lots of reps, and clear takeaways they can apply the very next day.
