A story of Connection...
As the second youngest of twelve children, and from a small town on the east coast, Michael is no stranger to connection and the power of interaction. Many of his greatest lessons in this arena were learned through his experience as a single parent, volunteer sports coach, athlete and professional Conflict Resolution Practitioner.
With Michael's breadth of experience in different working environments, he has harnessed the ability to meet individuals where they are to connect in ways that provided support and comfort. Much of this experience comes from his past work as manager of an international restaurant, school teacher, facilitator of adult education with the Canada Revenue Agency, Director of the Office of Early Conflict Resolution with Veterans Affairs Canada, his certification in mediation and Proprietor of Clear Resolutions. It's this personal and professional experience that gives him the ability to connect with any organization, group or audience.
