Ed McKenzie, BA, MA

Ed considers it an honour to be involved in the field of leadership and learning. He describes himself as one of the fortunate few who get an opportunity to do what they really care about, a chance to do meaningful work with others who truly want to make a difference in our world. With a calm, clear and friendly presence, Ed prides himself on being able to engage others in in thoughtful and meaningful ways to bring about transformative learning. When Ed reflects on the paths that have led him to his current work, he realizes they all involve a curiosity about people – how they think, how they feel, how they act and how they communicate with each other. Consequently, it’s no surprise that Ed spent a great deal of his working

life as a journalist and corporate communications specialist before teaming up with his wife Cathy in 2000 to establish Learning By Heart Consulting, a firm that works with a wide variety of public and private sector clients, nationally and internationally. One of the largest, and most rewarding, consulting projects Ed has ever undertaken involved the health care system in British Columbia. In 2007, he co-facilitated a series of public meetings throughout the province as part of a major government initiative entitled “Conversation on Health”. Today, as a LEADS in a Caring Environment specialist, Ed works extensively in the Canadian health sector, facilitating workshops designed to “bring LEADS to life”. In 2001 Ed completed his Masters degree in Leadership and Training at Royal Roads University in Victoria where he now proudly serves as an associate faculty member. He also teaches at The Banff Centre.

Over the years, Ed has given, and received, his greatest gifts at home – as a husband and the father of two grown children. To stay balanced, Ed loves to play guitar, read, and walk, talk and travel with Cathy.

MARC HENRY, PRESIDENT THINKHQ PUBLIC AFFAIRS, INC.

Marc Henry is the President of ThinkHQ Public Affairs, Inc., an Alberta-based government and

public relations strategy consultancy.

Prior to founding ThinkHQ Public Affairs Inc. in August of 2011, Mr. Henry was the three-term

Chief of Staff to Calgary Mayor Dave Bronconnier.

In his nine years in this role, Mr. Henry was the chief political advisor to the mayor, as well as

responsibilities for liaison between the Mayor’s Office, other members of City Council, senior city

management and intergovernmental affairs. This role provided Mr. Henry with unique and eclectic

perspectives on all aspects of public governance, including media relations, planning and

development, budgeting and finance, infrastructure development, environmental protection,

corporate communications and community engagement.

Known as a tireless advocate for Calgary’s infrastructure, Mayor Bronconnier found unprecedented

success in securing funding from other orders of government. Providing counsel to the mayor in the

development and implementation of strategies responsible for securing billions of dollars for

Calgary’s pressing infrastructure needs remain among the most satisfying experiences in Mr. Henry’s

career.

Before his appointment as Chief of Staff, Mr. Henry was Vice President (Public Affairs, Alberta) for

Ipsos-Reid (nee Angus Reid Group, Inc.). During his nine years at Ipsos-Reid, he grew the small

Alberta polling division into the largest public affairs research practice in the province.

In addition to political and public affairs based opinion research, Mr. Henry’s specialties included

brand, reputation and issues management, crisis communications and labour relations, message and

advertising testing and program evaluation. As the Alberta spokesperson for Ipsos-Reid, Mr. Henry

frequently appeared in newspaper, magazine, radio and television coverage of company research, and

as a political analyst.

Mr. Henry developed a taste for public opinion research in university. He received his Bachelor’s

Degree from the University of Lethbridge, and went on to graduate studies at the University of

Calgary specializing in Canadian and U.S. politics and political behavior. During graduate school,

Mr. Henry was also a Research Associate with the Canada West Foundation.

He has been a member of the Board of Directors of Tourism Calgary, and is an alumnus of Calgary’s

Top 40 Under 40.

Marc and his wife Christina live in Calgary.

Dr. Ernst Schuster is dedicated to help improve access, clinical care and process

improvement in primary care.

He is a full service, hospital based Family Physician and Clinical Professor for the

Department of Family Medicine, University of Alberta, and a Senior Medical Advisor

and Project Lead for the Practice Review Pilot for the College of Physicians & Surgeons

of Alberta.

Dr. Schuster has been clinical faculty of “AIM” Alberta and an Associate Zone Medical

Director for primary care and the rural hospitals in the Edmonton Zone. As a founding

Co-Chair, he contributed to the development of Alberta’s primary care networks

(PCNs). He has been a Board Member and Speaker of the Representative Forum for the

Alberta Medical Association and was most recently elected Deputy Speaker of General

Council for the Canadian Medical Association.
