Biography
Kit has earned a B.A. (Bachelor of Arts) degree, a B.Ed. (Bachelor of Education) degree and a M.Ed. (Master of Education) degree majoring in psychology and counseling.
He has earned the CSP (Certified Speaking Professional) designation from the National Speakers Association. Fewer than 8% of the more than 5,000+ members of the International Federation for Professional Speakers have this proven track record of continuing speaking experience and expertise (and he is one of only 19 Canadians). It is the highest earned designation in the professional speaking community. Kit has also earned the CSP (Certified Sales Professional) designation from the Canadian Professional Sales Association. You realize, of course, that having both these CSP designations made him the world's first CCSSPP!
He is one of only 14 people to date to be inducted into The Canadian Speaking Hall of Fame (HoF).
Kit started speaking when he was about 27 months old (a slow starter but he won't shut up now), AND he is a nice guy. He likes to play golf when he’s not working.

IT'S NOT MY FAULT!... Why Are They Being So Difficult?
Working (or living) with other people is sometimes difficult. Some people are easier to deal with than others. Kit identifies how different perspectives on life and relationships are both important and challenging. Getting results requires increased understanding of the strengths, limitations, motivators and de-motivators of each person. Your people will never be quite the same after this session as Kit's humorous examples from both personal and professional situations will have them "rolling in the aisles". The strength of your organization may depend on recognizing and valuing each person's uniqueness and contribution to team results.
