About UP

Unleash Potential

UP is a multicultural, Indigenous, woman owned business that helps people acquire effective ways of learning, leading and living. 

​​To deliberately shift away from patchwork, quick fix programming our focus is long-term, progressive outcomes at the individual, family, team, organization and community levels.​
By utilizing a holistic process, rather than a linear approach to achieve objectives, we focus on 3Core® areas of human development:
  1. ​Way of Being - CHARACTER (EQ) 
  2. Way of Knowing - COMPETENCE (IQ) 
  3. Way of Living - CONNECTION (SQ)

Our Story

UP the Status Quo Consulting Inc. is the culmination of founder Lana Binning's remarkable journey. From working various jobs starting at age 12 to establishing RAVE Designs, the first Aboriginal Woman-owned advertising firm in Canada, Lana's path demonstrates how hope and resilience truly shapes one's future.
 
A pivotal moment came when Lana invited Dr. Stephen R. Covey to speak at a fundraising event, leading to a personal invitation from Dr. Covey to share in his life's work. After Dr. Covey's passing in 2012, Lana continues his legacy to unleash human potential, resulting in the launch of UP the Status Quo Consulting Inc. in 2019.
 
Our team's tenacity reflects the transformative impact our work has had across Canada. Our team's diverse background in education, workforce development, board governance, and Indigenous engagement provides a unique perspective that drives our success.

At UP the Status Quo Consulting Inc., we are committed to education, leadership, family and cultural understanding. Our story is one of breaking barriers, changing lives, and empowering communities. We are partners in progress, dedicated to unleashing potential within every individual and organization we serve.
