About UP

Unleash Potential

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

Breaking Barriers, Building Futures

UP the Status Quo Consulting Inc. was born from the remarkable journey of our founder, Lana Binning. Her path—from working her first job at age 12 to establishing RAVE Designs, the first Aboriginal Woman-owned advertising firm in Canada—is proof that hope and resilience shape the future.

Today, Lana brings that same tenacity to our firm as an accomplished entrepreneur and FranklinCovey International Partner. With a deep expertise in business development and community engagement, she specializes in designing programs that foster entrepreneurial mindsets and drive economic empowerment.

But our story isn’t just about one person. Our team’s strength lies in our diverse backgrounds in education, workforce development, board governance, and Indigenous engagement. Together, we offer a unique perspective that has driven transformative change across Canada. We are partners in progress, committed to education, leadership, and cultural understanding, dedicated to unleashing the potential within every individual and organization we serve.
