My career in human capital management spans 40 years, incorporating both HR leadership and consulting experience in an exceptionally broad range of private sector, public sector and not-for-profit organizational settings.   

I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree, majoring in Psychology, and a Certificate in Personnel & Industrial Relations from the University of Manitoba.  I taught courses in Organizational Behaviour and Human Resource Management at the University of Manitoba for six years.  I currently hold professional designations as a Certified Management Consultant (CMC) and a Certified Human Resource Professional (CHRP).

In 1981, I founded The Harris Consulting Corporation.   Over a period of 23 years, I built a successful medium-sized practice in executive search, career transition, organizational development, succession planning, change management, HR strategy, compensation planning, performance management systems, leadership development & coaching, psychometric assessment and employee climate surveys.   We earned a solid reputation for quality, integrity and customer value.  The company was sold to a senior team member and a third party associate, resulting in the launch of my current practice.

Teamwork and leadership skills have been further developed through serving on the Board of Directors for professional, community and business organizations.  I was a founding director and served twenty years on the Board for a community social service organization, including three years as Chairman.  I am a Past President and Honourary Life Member of the Human Resource Management Association of Manitoba, as well as a Past President of the Institute of Certified Management Consultants of Manitoba.   I served two consecutive terms as President of the Manitoba Club, one of Canada's oldest and most respected private clubs for business and community leaders.
