Dennis is a partner & co-owner of Vadis and is a registered Social Worker with the Saskatchewan Association of Social Workers and the Canadian Association of Social Workers. He has more than 35 years of public service management and multi-sector project leadership experience in diverse settings. Dennis provides consulting and coaching services to individuals, organizations, communities, and leaders in private, public, and not-for-profit organizations.

What motivates him is working with people, who because of the job they are in, don’t necessarily have that safety net to comfortably challenge issues within their organizational environment. Dennis is passionate about building resilient organizations and adaptive leaders and enjoys being the tether that allows senior managers, executives, and teams to push beyond their current processes and grow and thrive.

As an organizational and community development consultant and therapist, Jo-Anne uses a holistic approach to create healthy interpersonal relationships and effective teams in the workplace. For over 25 years she has worked at various points of intervention (individual – team – leadership), with different groups (private, public, education, non-for-profit) and understands that often ‘people don’t quit their job, they quit the people’.

Jo-Anne believes that to create a healthy workplace involves prevention and intervention at many levels. That is why her work ranges from supporting leaders in creating a healthy workplace culture; to strengthening teams around effective communication and behavior; to conflict resolution between co-workers.
