Class of 2004
Bachelor of Business Administration

What have you been up to since leaving Crandall?

My journey at ABU (Crandall) was by no means typical. While pursuing my bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, I took a 6-year break from academic studies to work in the Hotel Industry in Banff, Alberta. So, when I graduated in 2004, I had acquired a business degree and years of real-world experience already under my belt.

After graduation, I landed a sales position with Canadaeast.com, and later, a position as Director for Sales and Marketing with a company called Connetik Interactive located in Moncton. Unfortunately, neither were a fit for me. In 2008, an opportunity to participate in a Leadership development program with LMI Canada came my way. This was the opportunity I was waiting for. This was my calling. I began LMI practice in October of 2008 knowing it was the best decision I had ever made, but it would not be the easiest.

After a few years of learning and progressing in an unknown industry, my associates and I became the top office in Canada and we haven’t looked back since. God definitely opened my eyes to LMI, a place that I can completely immerse myself using the gifts that He gave me. My job is Leadership Development Coach and CEO of the Slight Edge Group in Moncton, NB. We work with leaders all over Atlantic Canada. Some of the companies we work with are, Sobeys Group, Irving Group, Grant Thornton, Medavie Blue Cross, Assumption Life, Canadian Tire, Sun Life, Acadian Construction, etc. Over the past 10 years, we’ve worked with over 700 clients helping them grow from good leaders to great leaders. My purpose is to “Inspire a passion for life and leadership in everyone I meet” and LMI gives me a fantastic place to live out that passion.

How has Crandall prepared you for the future?

The foundation of confidence, faith and belief that I received at ABU is un-surpassed. I owe so much to ABU (Crandall), and Rob MacDonald in the business department. The greatest example of leadership was by Jesus himself. All of the leadership principles used with LMI are Biblical principles.

Thank you to all of you for giving me the confidence to get out there and believing in my abilities to get started on my own!!
