What I Offer
While we can focus on any professional or personal area that supports your goals, navigating change and exploring options in career development are among the most popular themes in coaching sessions with me. When it comes to learning and development consultation, Merike ensures your goals are clear with your message is set up in ways that resonates with adult learners for maximum impact.
Professional Development
Shifting into higher education or into a new role can be daunting. While you’re smart and capable, you struggle. Navigating change is easier with coaching conversations in which you can find understanding, perspective, and direction.
Career Wellness
Navigating workplace and team dynamics can be challenging, even for seasoned professionals. Strengthen your sense of purpose, boost your success and prioritize your wellbeing alongside other responsibilities through coaching.
Daily Ease
Professional roles can be demanding, and reaching your career goals can seem far away. Together, we can maximize your daily impact with a new comfort zone that truly serve you.
Learning Development Consultation
Ensure your courses, workshops and professional development solutions resonate with your learners. With expertise in adult learning I support businesses in creating impactful, learner-centered solutions that reflect their values and achieve real results.
How It Works

We’ll cover:

No preparation needed. Sessions are 15–20 min. The discovery call is to build initial rapport and discuss logistics; it is not a coaching session. For L&D Consultation we’ll discuss project focus and desired outcomes.

About Me
I am a Life Wellness & CliftonStrengths coach with extensive professional experience in learning, leadership and development. I hold a Masters of Arts in adult education which I pursued while moving and settling into a new province, along with a Doctorate in Education – Educational Leadership, both of which I had the opportunity to complete while working full time. The experiences I’ve gained on both the ‘life’ side of the academic, and on my professional path inspire me to have your best interests at heart as your coach. Our conversations are for you and focus on you so you can get more out of your life and wellness professionally and personally. When seeking mentoring, you’ll know that I am sharing my own experiences in ways that invite you to gain confidence and succeed in your goals.
Over time, I developed a different way of thinking about health, wellness and life inclusive to what is truly important to me. The insights I gained brought about new approaches that serve and continue to inspire me to do more for myself today and everyday.
