Having been one of SAIT’s most sought-after facilitators for the past decade, we are delighted to have Jennie on board as our Leadership Development Specialist.
Jennie brings a sound understanding of the SAIT audience and their expectations, matched with a depth of knowledge and experience in Leadership and SAIT’s soft skills deliveries. Jennie works closely with our team to ensure that your team receives relevant and appropriate content.
Most recently, Jennie took on the challenge of creator, curator, designer and facilitator for Leading Beyond ANY Title – SAIT’s unique leadership journey through the six intelligences required for Leadership in the 21st Century. The journey challenges classic leadership training and meets the sweet spot required by organizations, their leaders and employees in ensuring that growth and development are the outcomes of the effort and energy put into the journey.
Jennie’s adult education career started with the Board Development program and the Calgary Stampede, but since then, she has:
- created, curated, designed and now facilitates the unique SAIT Leadership Journey comprised of six intelligences required for Leadership in the 21st Century
- co-presented on SAIT’s Leadership Breakfast Conversations

Her experience and accomplishments don't end there. Outside of work, Jennie is a hockey enthusiast – field hockey specifically! She's played for many years and now works with Field Hockey Alberta’s Board of Directors and Provincial teams.
She's also been to Mt. Everest base camp three times! Each time with school groups, including donations to the highest dentist in the world!
If you were to ask where her favourite place to be was, she would say, "With family, happily married with three fabulous kids, there’s no better time than family time – wherever in the world that might be!"
