Need to work through ? It's a focused strategy session in fresh air.
Movement fuels
creativity, and I've seen it work first hand. For 30+ years, I've combined the power of motion with deep
business experience to help business leaders spark ideas, sharpen thinking, and bring clarity to their biggest
challenges.
Give it a try and see what a walk can unlock.
I've spent the last 30 years helping founders, leaders, and teams make sense of growth—whether they're just starting out, scaling quickly, or facing that moment where what used to work no longer does.
I've been there. As a strategist, coach, and hands-on leader, I bring real-world experience from doing the work myself, not just advising on it.
A few quick facts:
Today, through Whiteboard Strategies and Walk With Bruce, I work with leaders who are facing complex decisions and want clarity from someone who's seen it, solved it, and still loves doing it.
Simple. Uncomplicated. Designed to get you moving—physically and mentally.
Choose your walk from beautiful Vancouver-area spots. All are easily accessible and come with just the right amount of nature.
Before we meet, you'll get a prompt by email to set the goal for our session. What does success look like? That's what we'll aim for.
We meet at the trailhead. You talk, I listen. I'll ask the right questions to help you uncover clarity, direction, and next steps.
After the session, I'll send a short summary that captures key takeaways, insights, and the next steps we discussed.

Choose Your Walk →Over the course of my career, I've worked with founders, executives, and senior leadership teams at companies ranging from early-stage startups to established businesses generating hundreds of millions in revenue. I've been in the room for the tough decisions—whether to pivot, how to scale, when to hire, what to build next.
I've touched most functional areas: built and led marketing and sales teams, worked on long-range strategy and growth plans, helped design products, set up operations, navigated acquisitions, and mentored people through career transitions. I've seen businesses at every stage—from pre-revenue to post-exit.
What I've learned is that the best solutions usually come from good questions and honest conversation. Sometimes you need someone who's been there before to help you think it through.
Most conversations start with one topic and naturally evolve to what you really need to work through. Can't talk to anyone on your team about it? That's usually when an outside perspective helps most.
Start the Conversation →Each trail offers a unique setting for clarity and conversation. Great things can happen on any of them but feel free to pick the one that calls to you.
Session duration varies based on fitness level, weather conditions, and conversation flow
