SCALEABLE SOLUTIONS
UP helps organizations strengthen trust, leadership, communication, and accountability so that investments, systems, and strategic initiatives are adopted and sustained.
A new system, process, or training program cannot create sustainable performance on its own.
We provide the conditions that allow people to:
-
Trust the change
-
Understand the purpose
-
Communicate openly
-
Practice new behaviours and habits
-
Hold one another accountable
-
Integrate learning into their daily lives
Our promise:
We do not simply help people learn something new. We help organizations make new behaviours and habits usable, relevant, and sustainable.
-
Understand the organizational environment
-
Identify relational and implementation barriers
-
Build relevant capability
-
Connect learning to operational priorities
-
Reinforce behaviours through leadership and accountability
-
Measure progress
-
Address barriers as they emerge
ABOUT UP
We are a trusted Canadian, Bilingual, Aboriginal, Woman-owned lead organization with decades of experience...so many we don't want to age ourselves :)
Our structured, principle-based approach fosters:
-
Character (EQ) - Resilience, Flexibility and Agility
-
Competence (IQ) - Analytical Thinking
-
Culture (SQ) - Leadership and Social Influence
Meeting the World Economic Forum - must have skills for today and tomorrow!
To deliberately shift away from patchwork, quick fix programming or merely delivering an off-the-shelf, one-size fits all process, we combine proven universal methodology with Canadian-led, community-focused delivery designed for sustainable outcomes rather than short-term participation numbers.
With our National credibility, International reach, and on-the-ground Community experience, we help people and organizations build the trust, leadership, communication, and accountability required to turn investment into measurable, sustainable results.
OUR PARTNERS
True systemic change cannot be achieved by recycling funds back into dominant, established corporate consultancies. It requires actively building the economic capacity of diverse, domestic innovators.
Our partnership with Association of Métis, Non and Status Indians Saskatchewan (AMNSIS) stands out by moving away from standard, passive diversity initiatives by introducing a true wrap-around, proven strategy that addresses the root causes of workplace, community and family dynamics.
FranklinCovey is our global leadership and organizational performance partner with operations in over 160 countries, 5,000+ schools and 24+ languages. Our partnership structure ensures that we are not merely distributing third-party content, we translate these proven systems into culturally safe, locally relevant, replicable solutions while keeping your investment in Canada.
"Lana and her experienced team were knowledgeable and eager to support our organization with a solution on the ground. They were diligent in traveling to our remote communities and were successful in quickly building trust, confidence and performance shortly after their arrival. I recommend UP if you are committed to seeing real change."

"The Mînowin Khtwam Sihcikewin project gave them tools that they will utilize throughout their lives. Before making decisions about education, employment, or any long-term goals, people need to learn coping strategies, be aware of their inner strengths, be aware of who they are and where they come from. They also need to learn how to be positive about their abilities as a person. This program did that!"
President, Association of Métis, Non and Status Indians Saskatchewan
