Meet Alexander
Educator, Coach & Mentor
I offer private coaching sessions to anyone grappling with or calling in great change in their lives. My greatest expertise is working with Young Men (13-35) who are in crisis or transition, 'failing to launch', or looking for the leverage to change their habits, their trajectory and fundamentally, their lives!
My Coaching work is informed by almost 2 decades of supporting and teaching in high-needs school environments and working as a Mentor & Director for BTM Canada, a youth-centered charity, as well as through my own greatest life transformations of addiction recovery and spiritual reckoning.
My approach and methods revolve around excavating Truth within ourselves and from these insights living and actualizing a meaningful life of integrity, authenticity and great purpose. My sessions and programs will help you shift from a current way of being that isn't working, into a new way that is more aligned with your highest potential, bringing about the transformation that you yearn for.

Mission
My mission and service to the world is centered in creating, sustaining and facilitating spaces of Truth. “Truth” here means a way of being that is rooted in natural goodness, in clear seeing of what is True and Real and being in a willing earnestness to ‘shed skins’ of old identity, belief and habit, in the movement towards Self, happiness and freedom. This is about development and transcending yet including ways of being that are rooted in the past.
My Coaching Principles
My mission as a coach expresses itself through the following principles.
1
The Upliftment of Truth
In our culture, hiding true feelings is common. A coach attunes with Truth as the highest ideal and thus models authenticity and self-knowing. Embracing Truth enables the client to shed societal masks and authentically be himself, which uplifts him in numerous ways.
4
Introspection & Action
Greater self-understanding through social emotional learning, development work and spiritual practices leads to heartfelt wisdom. A coach guides a client in implementing this wisdom through brave, well considered actions, ensuring ongoing support and follow-up.
Coaching is a ‘travel partnership’ devoted to the client's growth and well-being. A coach's guidance aims to connect the client to his own inner wisdom, empowering him on his unique path of self-discovery and potent action in the world.

Responsibility & Integrity
A coach reinforces a client's responsibility to his own personal aspirations through calling him to greater and greater integrity. A coach will help a client to stay true to responsibilities by aligning actions with aspirations, fostering an integral life.
5
Growth & Shedding Skin
A coach plays a crucial role in identifying areas of growth/development, guiding a client in nurturing and fertilizing that growth/development. Additionally, coaches assist clients in recognizing and shedding old "skins" of identity, beliefs or habits to foster an inner ecosystem conducive to new and positive development/growth.
6
Listening & A Higher Power
A coach subtly, yet actively listens within and without, modeling connectedness to life’s pulse. In doing so, the coach invites the client into deep listening of his own heart and to the call of a Higher Power he feels connected to.
What clients have to say
If he is indeed wise, he does not bid you
enter the house of his wisdom but rather
leads you to the threshold of your own
mind.
