Healthy Hire - Healthy Career - Healthy Retire
Are you ready to IGNITE Your Life and Career?
As a Certified Executive Coach, my goal is to share knowledge and support fire service leaders to excel in their careers and personal lives. I provide a holistic body-mind approach to my coaching services, focusing on mental wellbeing and stress mastery. With 24 years in the fire service and over a decade as a Chief Officer, I have the practical knowledge and the human side of leadership.
Coaching creates space for reflection and better decision-making. As Fire Chief's optimizing our effectiveness directly correlates to the overall efficiency of the organization and our service to the public.
I will provide you with an opportunity to be heard and understood and a chance to reveal strategies to succeed both in life and the fire service.
The value I bring to our relationship is built on trust, authenticity, and psychological safety. Supporting others to excel in life and work brings me great joy.
In my years of experience, I realized that being a Chief Officer is a challenging place to be, and one where many are working in silos and suffering alone. I am here to help those, which is my goal and mission moving forward.

Evolution Of Leadership - Bringing Humanity back into the Workplace
Through my own experiences and profound self-discovery, I have witnessed over and over again Chief Fire Officers suffering alone in silence, with no support and working alone in silos.
My new Why is simple. To be of service to other Fire Chiefs and provide an opportunity for them to be heard.
My mission is to reduce stress and increase wellness within our fire service leadership. Healthy leadership fosters healthy organizations.
I want to support and help lead an evolution towards building a human-centred Fire Service because it's all about our people.

24+ Years of Experience
After serving in the fire service with pride for 24 years, I decided to pivot with a new and exciting mission for wellness. My vision began in 2020 when I needed to leave the job to combat my stress overload. Since that day, I have dedicated my time to enhancing my knowledge of how the human body works under stress.
In 2022, I started helping those in the fire service and, beyond master stress and excel in life. I can help you master your own life by providing tools for you to adopt into your self-care plan.
I have extensive knowledge of volunteer, paid-on-call and career fire services. I have walked in the shoes of a volunteer, as an IAFF member, and as exempt management. I can help you obtain peak performance in life and at work.
You are worth the investment!
My thoughts and ideas have been published in several Canadian Magazines on leadership, career development, mental health, and mental performance. I am a newly published author (authorpreneur) of a self-help on Stress and Burnout book titled Burnt Around the Edges. (Released October 31 2022)
This easy-to-read book highlights decades of real-life experiences as a firefighter and a Fire Chief in BC, Canada. The first-hand accounts outlined in the book highlight how occupational and life stress can dramatically affect our well-being. It draws readers through a journey and many lessons from Arjuna’s battle with unease and occupational Burnout. This honest, vulnerable and authentic narrative reassures readers that we can master and harness stress in our lives.
The title of this book, Burnt Around the Edges, comes from the experience Arjuna felt back in the summer of 2020. He found himself at a tipping point of total occupational Burnout. Even though he felt burnt around the edges, he knew he had a massive purpose-driven fire burning deep within him. This fire sparked a life-changing transformation in his life and career with a far better understanding of how our bodies react and work under stress.
In Arjuna’s first book you will learn:
• Arjuna’s story from his childhood to the present day
• Strategies and tactics Arjuna used to master stress and recovery from Occupational Burnout
• Tips on how to become more mentally strong and resilient in a stressful world
• The importance of investing in your health and well-being to become your most authentic self
The book is Arjuna’s ignition source to a new career path led by a strong and clear purpose in life.
