Why Choose This Course?

Hey there!

I'M KURT.

After nearly two decades in senior leadership, I know firsthand how busy and challenging leadership can be. That’s why I created Leadership On-Demand Solutions—a course designed to act as both a learning tool and a problem-solving guide. With your feedback, it’s constantly evolving to meet the needs of leaders like you.

Here is my story ➝

I'm here to help:

At 25, I was promoted to Director of the University of Calgary Outdoor Centre—an organization facing a $300,000 deficit and the risk of closure. Despite having leadership education and some experience, I quickly realized how vast the gap was between leadership theory and the real challenges I faced. But I made a promise: if I survived this and figured out how to lead effectively, I would create something to help busy leaders—something practical, clear, and immediately useful, without the fluff of theory.

And I did more than survive—I thrived.

Over the years, I’ve led organizations and teams from near-collapse to growth and success. The first time, I thought it was luck, but over time, I discovered it was a talent. I've led teams of up to 1,250 staff and 3,000 volunteers. Today, as a current CEO, I’ve created Leadership On-Demand Solutions—a course and problem-solving tool designed to help leaders like you cut through complexity and take action.

What excites me most is hearing from leaders who are amazed at how simple it is to fix what once felt impossible. This program isn’t just a course—it’s a resource built for busy leaders, evolving with your feedback to tackle the real-world challenges you face.

My Mission: Empowering You to Lead Lightly, make a difference, and sleep better.

Making sense of what previously seemed overwhelming Empowering leaders to solve challenges with clarity, speed, and confidence through practical, on-demand solutions—because leadership should fit your life, not overwhelm it.

"In a uniquely authentic manner, Kurt demonstrates how adopting leadership principles can influence the personal and organizational results we are all looking for. He adds value by cutting through the fog to uncover the clear “calls to action” that will make a positive difference; often challenging us to consider some less obvious but great alternatives. Using plain language, he can guide the creation of your vision and, unlike many others; he will roll up his sleeves to help you put it into practice. His unpretentious style makes adopting those leadership principles approachable and you will want to run your next ideas by him."
