Learning experiences to facilitate
personal and team transformation
WHY BEYOND
Growing as a person and as a leader requires us to live beyond ourselves, in service of others.
​
Meet our founder
Hi, I’m Kyra.
​
I have over 20 years of experience in business spanning management consulting and entrepreneurial ventures. I spent over a decade designing and delivering learning and development programs for a top tier consulting firm to help equip leaders with new capabilities, mindsets and behaviours.
My educational background includes a Master of Science in Applied Economics, though it didn’t take me long to figure out that wasn’t going to be my jam in the corporate world. Instead, I spent most of my career focused on the development of people and I’m currently pursuing a master’s degree in the field of industrial-organizational psychology.
​​
A bit more about me as a human: I’ve always been drawn to wild places. As a kid, I was happiest climbing trees in the woods. As an adult, I began exploring further afield. From climbing munros in Scotland to trekking in Peru to exploring Cape Breton – adventure and nature-based experiences shape me.
​
Nature has been a powerful catalyst for growth in my own life. So I'm passionate about connecting individuals and teams to nature to facilitate growth and development. While I still play in the more traditional spaces to facilitate leadership and team development, I leap at every opportunity to take teams outdoors.
​
Whether indoors or outdoors, I help individuals and teams perform at their best.
Welcome to Beyond Trails.​​​
