Who is Tina?

Over the last 15 years, my life has revolved around the education and development of others. I have been involved in identifying, assessing, and through planned learning, developing the key competencies (knowledge, skills, and attitudes) which enable individuals to perform current or future tasks. Then, taking these competencies to the next level, teaching and coaching others to achieve their goals and maximize their potential.

I am currently a Wife to a loving and supportive husband, a Mother of two wonderful and very active boys, a Life & Purpose Coach for Purpose Within, a Facilitator, an Author, and a Business Owner.  I find each of my roles fulfilling and challenging in their own way and rely on all of them to bring my life meaning and purpose.

Throughout my life, I have set and accomplished goals and challenged myself to step out of my comfort zone to acquire new experiences. When doing something new it was often my mentors who gave me that extra nudge to push me in the direction I needed or desired to go, but did not have the courage to do alone. It is interesting when I reflect back on my life, how many times I have utilized the assistance of a personal coach to take new steps.

My mission in life is to empower, love and connect others to discover and live the life God intends for them.  Each of us has been given unique gifts, skills, talents, and life purpose.  We serve no one by shrinking away from these gifts God has given us.  God intends for us to make an impact on the world and serve others using what he has created us for.  This is my desire for you too!

Who is Mesh? 

I was born and raised in Vancouver, British Columbia, and have been residing in Alberta for the last 15 years, and currently live in SE Calgary.  I am married to my wonderful wife, who is not only a supportive partner in marriage, but also in ministry. We have an incredibly happy and fun-loving daughter, who brings joy to our lives everyday.  I love to hang out as a family and we create many memorable experiences together. 

A little fun fact - I was on a reality show called, "A Priest, A Monk and A Rabbi," despite being none of the above!  It was a reality show that divulged into the lives of a variety of faith leaders. 

I miss riding my motorcycle and the breeze I could feel in my hair.  I love the outdoors, vacationing, and hanging out with friends.  I am still a huge hockey fan and remain loyal to my Vancouver Canucks - in spite of all the ridicule.  One day there will be a parade and the Stanley Cup will finally be in Vancouver - where it belongs.
