Who will be Facilitating?
Lianne Bridges – Founder, Designing Transformation Productions
Lianne left the corporate world after three decades serving multi-nationals like Aeroplan, Unilever and Nabisco. In 2009, when her husband died of cancer, she was left alone to raise her two small children. This crisis was a catalyst for her to redesign her life. She wanted the freedom to look after her children and do work she loves, while making a difference in the world.
She began by drawing on her business experience of helping organizations define their long term vision and strategy. Lianne adapted this process by incorporating the wisdom and spiritual practices she was using to transform her own life. In so doing, she developed a process to help others find their true calling.
Lianne received a classical business training at Canada’s prestigious schools with a Bachelor’s degree in Economics and Social Studies at the University of Western Ontario and a Masters of Business Administration (MBA) at the Rotman School of Management in Toronto. Over the past fifteen years, Lianne has been a entrepreneur — starting and leading a variety of highly successful ventures. She translates this knowledge to now serve her true passion: helping individuals, entrepreneurs and leaders make a difference doing what they love and aligning with their highest purpose and potential.
Who should attend?
