“Connor is both humble and insightful in his approach. I have really valued his ability to reframe issues in an ethical space, helping me to approach challenges differently and find innovative solutions to complex problems. I highly recommend his support to anyone navigating a challenging path.”
— James Edwards, Principal Negotiator BC EMLCI & Founder of Leo Consulting
"It's like working with a friend who helps you base your passions off of who you are, and find things that speak to you in a way that are true to you. It's easy to be honest with Connor because he is there to support you. It is more than I ever expected in a coach, guide, and mentor.
Connor helps to guide each conversation in ways that allows me to fully be in touch with my energy, emotions, spirituality, and professional mindset while I step towards create my dream business of a culturally based eco-tourism company."
— Hayden Seitcher, Founder of the Tla-o-qui-aht Warriors Society
"Connor’s strong communication, people skills, and his personal passion – to learn from and about different cultures –creates an inviting and engaging space and energy. Clients value his sensitivity and strong people skills to navigate tricky situations and to bring people on board."
— Anita Wolfe, Founder of Environment for Change
“As someone who has experienced working with a variety of coach-like figures in my lifetime, relating and being comfortable in the presence of a coach is a priority, and Connor immediately made me feel relaxed. As a coach, he has been able to draw things from me that I didn't think any coach was capable of.
It is clear to me that Connor understands the methodology of coaching and can tailor our sessions to how I'm feeling in the day; he utilizes the subtleties of my demeanour to maximize the topics of what we discuss in each individual session.
Realizing the benefits of talking about my goals and how I can build my skills to achieve them has brought me gratification in my current work and life. I would absolutely recommend OLA’s service if you want to discover your own values on a deeper level and understand how they intertwine with your career and everyday life.”
