Hi, I'm Christopher

I've helped hundreds of people live their best lives by providing effective solutions to everyday problems.

I am the founder and coach at Brain Beacon, a Calgary based neuroinclusive organization that helps people understand how their brilliant brains work. Diagnosed at 6 years old with ADHD, I was given medication and zero skill support. I realized medication may help with my focus, but did very little for the rest of the symtoms I experienced, including my Executive Function. Throughout my childhood I struggled to understand my brain and how it worked. The struggles were real. School, work, friendships and relationships were a challenge. A chance encounter towards the end of my schooling changed the course of my life, where I learned how my brain actually worked and how to study, allowing me to successfully go to university. As a university student, I worked with autistic children after school with their homework. It was here that my passion for working with neurodiverse kids really took off.

After my post graduate in business, I was a management consultant for 18 years, helping leaders manage their teams and organization. I coached leaders and executives, often helping them manage their neurodiversity and recently diagnosed symptoms. I followed my passion and got internationally certified as an ICF Organizational Coach, helping leaders and neurodiverse individuals lead better lives. To say this filled my cup was an understatement.

I certified in both ADHD and autism training, helping kids and adults for the last 6 years become more confident with less anxiety. I then certified in neurodiversity in the workplace, helping people manage their challenges (and organizations understand their employees) in the workplace. Now, using lived experience and professional training, I help neurodiverse adults and children feel less overwhelmed and more happy in life. How? By providing solutions that work.

Outside of coaching, I enjoy hiking, fishing and exploring the outdoors with my wife and 2 daughters.
