J. Sheldon MacLeod, our Owner and Principal, has built relationships for over twenty years in the areas of connection and transformation in organizational and individual lives.

As an executive leader and successful small business owner, Sheldon has successfully brought his relaxed service and relationship based leadership approach to significant organizational change, coaching, and culture.  He is a regular speaker at conferences, churches, campuses, and seminars.  He consults regularly with churches, universities and colleges, not-for-profit organizations, small businesses, and individuals, in the area of transformational change.  This is done through strategic planning, leadership development, student life, enrolment and growth development, faith and life integration, next-generational ministry, spiritual formation, organizational effectiveness, and personal development.

Sheldon is a Certified Coach, Teacher, Trainer and Speaker with Maxwell Leadership. He also serves as the Director, Student Services, for the University of New Brunswick, as the Regional Director, Atlantic Canada, with the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada, as an Associate Consultant with the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers, and lecturer in Vision and Leadership, Worldview, and Biblical Literature at Crandall University.

Sheldon is a family man whose three children provide a source of rich blessing and humour.  He loves working with people who want to move forward, is a contagious storyteller, and tells poorly executed dad jokes with ease.

Sheldon loves helping leaders, campuses, ministries, and small business owners, think strategically about transformation and transition; connect now.
