Designing Workspaces That Care: The Alternative Energy Your Culture Needs

Known across North America as "Canada’s Answer to Alternative Energy," Tyler brings over 30 years of full-time organizational consulting experience right to your conference stage. He shatters typical "sit-and-listen" cultural training fatigue within the first 60 seconds by turning your audience into an active, living laboratory of team dynamics.
Blending clean corporate humor, unforgettable adventure storytelling, and practical workplace analytics, Tyler teaches leaders and multi-generational teams how to design everyday workflows around authentic connection. Your audience won't just learn about culture—they will actively practice it on the spot, walking away with road-ready behavioural tools.

HEALTH CARE MASTERMIND
Problem:
How do we develop managerial skills in a sustainable, developmental and powerful way for busy healthcare professionals?
Mastermind Learning Outcomes:
Increase new operational management skills and behaviours.
Create a forum for interdepartmental communication and problem solving.
Build a forum to collect and share best practices.
Respond to a stated developmental goal of managers.
Have fun learning new skills.
Solution:
This was a great project to be involved in. First, we performed an intake of our clients managerial learning needs. From there we designed a program that integrated experiential learning, powerful facilitation techniques, and cutting edge research into a program that fit into multiple bite sized pieces.
A core group of managers were invited to regular meetings aligned with "longer lunches." Tyler joined them to deliver the structured components and manage the subsequent learning interactions.
Benefits that the mangers realized included: a management forum to discuss timely business issues, a linked peer-to-peer network of like minded professionals, cross pollination of ideas/actions across work teams, understanding of staff potential and management styles that work, and new ideas to reach and engage employees - to name a few.
This program also included access to our powerful online learning suite and team engagement tools. Managers have 24/7 access to e-learning and engagement tools to help put the things they learn at lunch into practice immediately at work.

REMOTE LEARNING FINANCE
Problem:
How do we level-up our remote course's student engagement as we support 40 000+ professional learners?
Remote Learning Outcomes:
Assess current remote learning practices and make recommendations.
Build and deliver remote learning strategies and tools that can be used by course instructors.
Coach and train-the-trainers to actively implement remote engagement tools.
Provide ongoing support to trainers for twelve months.
Solution:
We started at the beginning of the student experience and examined how their courses were listed, pre-course communications, tech set-up, and more. From there we took the time to sit in and audit several courses, with different instructors. We examined their existing strategy including their LMS, teaching tools, slide decks, handouts, activities, etc. Further, we conducted two separate focus groups and online surveys, one for instructors and the other for learners.
Once we completed the discovery phase we prepared a report for their management team to review. I was jam packed with our findings and remote engagement recommendations. We hosted a meeting to discuss next steps and prepared a road map to accomplish the agreed to path.
Throughout the next year we developed remote engagement learning tools and activities, consulted on the course listings and communications with students, conducted train-the-trainer sessions with instructors, offered a coaching line, provided asynchronous courses for the instructors to sharpen their saws, and more.

VIDEO SHORTS LEARNING TOOLS
Problem:
How do we share boring information on cyber security to our global team in a fun, effective and efficient way?
Mastermind Learning Outcomes:
Deliver learning videos that promote good cyber hygiene.
Establish tools that can be used as part of regular training that add levity and content to training programs.
Create a different, and less serious tone, towards the delivery of the serious subject of cyber security.
Use humour to increase learner engagement through online video tools.
Solution:
We started by conducting in-depth interviews with project managers and leaders. Following that we received and studied the businesses current approach, and collateral related to cyber security. Then, with the client established a set of 6 video topics and measurable learning outcomes for each video.
After the intake of the program our team went to work writing content rich videos that were engaging and humorous. Once the content was written, we shared the draft scripts for comment by the clients team. We then made adjustments based on their feedback and resubmitted the scripts for final approval.
Next, we set to work securing the videography team, locations, post production, props, sets, and all the movie magic needed to make these low budget videos feel like Hollywood hits. We spent several days shooting and performing post production magic.
We were then able to share with a red carpet launch the videos for the client. Once the videos were approved, we swept up the popcorn that was in the isles of the theatre and called Steven Spielberg to see if he needed a hand.
