About Gord Aker

So who is Gord Aker? Humorous, insightful, intelligent, courageous and compassionate are words my clients have used to describe me and my coaching.  I focus on creating a safe place where people are comfortable in being vulnerable, authentic and open to exploring different perspectives. 

I have been trained in my coaching skills by the Coaches Training Institute (CTI) and have been certified as a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach or CPCC.  I also have an Associate Certified Coach (ACC) credential from the International Coach Federation (ICF).  All of this essentially boils down to the fact that I am a well trained coach and that I take my work and profession very seriously. 

I have over 12 years of organizational leadership experience at both the front line and senior leadership level. I have also had the privilege of serving as the President of the Calgary Association of Professional Coaches (CAPC) in 2009.

I have been married to my soul mate for over 22 years and have two awesome teenage kids and a dog (who is pretty cool in his own right).  We live in Calgary Alberta and I have had the pleasure of coaching individuals from all over the world.
