About Us
PowerUP Leadership
PowerUp Leadership - Leadership Development
Most leadership development doesn’t work. Here’s what does.
PowerUp Leadership is a global award-winning firm, and our leadership development program won Silver for Best Leadership Development Program at the 2026 Brandon Hall Group HCM Excellence Awards.
Behind that work are our team of 40+ International Coaching Federation certified coaches. Their specialties range from grief coaching, strategic planning, relationship building and change management to career planning and team alignment, so every leader is matched with a coach whose expertise fits the challenge in front of them.
The problems we solve
- Senior teams that aren’t aligned. When leaders pull in different directions, staff get mixed messages and priorities collide.
- Decisions that stall. Choices that should take days drag on for weeks.
- Managers stuck doing the work. Instead of developing their people, they become the bottleneck.
- Conversations that don’t build thinking. Leaders who tell more than they ask leave critical thinking, and performance, on the table.
How we do it
Inspired Leadership™ is… seeing the potential in others so clearly, they have no choice but to see it themselves, and take massive action.
Every program we build, from 1:1 executive coaching through the Leadership Framework Journey™ to group leadership programs and talent assessments, is designed to make that happen across your organization. In 9 years, we’ve supported 5,000+ leaders working with clients in Halifax, Toronto, Washington DC, New York, California partnering with small businesses, municipalities, public sector organizations and growing companies, including Region of Peel, WorkSafeNB and CAA Atlantic.
Leadership is a lifelong journey. We’d love to walk it with you.
Empowering Teams to Realize Their Potential
Unique leaders deserve personalized development plans. Every organization is different, as are its leaders. There’s no such thing as one-size-fits-all when it comes to success. That’s why we create bespoke leadership, team development programs, and talent strategic roadmaps specific to your business – so that you can grow, get better, and be more profitable.
Our private 1:1 leadership coaching and talent transformation solutions result in accountability, bench strength, succession pipelines, and better team communications. When you get leadership right, your organization becomes a talent magnet.
Good leaders have the ability to inspire us in their lifetime. Great leaders have the ability to inspire us beyond their lifetime” – Simon Sinek

My coach is STELLAR ! I learned a lot from the assessments and from her recommendations. I appreciated that they were all evidence-based (PowerUp’s work is grounded in evidence). And best of all – they are working for me! I’m seeing great results: increased productivity and decreased stress. Thank you so much!
