What Turns Potential Into Ability? - Brainz Magazine Exclusive Interview With Pam August

Pam is an insight activator, curious co-creator, culture whisperer, and, according to her 4th-grade teacher, "the spice that every classroom needs" always learning and learning all ways. She knows a lot about the power of potential in work and life and, more importantly, how to connect it. Her expertise stands on a solid foundation, including certification in fitness and nutrition, a Bachelor of Adult Education, a Master of Arts in Leadership, and numerous facilitation and coaching certifications. It springs to life through her diverse experience of fitness teaching and nutrition counseling, award-winning learning facilitation in higher education, being a people and culture developer, and being the Director of Culture Activation at WestJet Airlines, one of Canada´s most admired corporate cultures.

Today, she is a trusted partner for high-performance organizations worldwide through her firm, Connecting Potential. Pam expertly guides them and fiercely champions the potential already there in three dimensions of organizational performance: within us as individuals, between us in relationships and teams, and around us in this thing called "culture". Her range and depth of experience in each dimension give her a unique trifecta of expertise in the people and culture development space as she fluidly facilitates connections between them for exponential impact. Pam is also a sought-after speaker, known for her infectious energy and experiential, activational messages. Her first book, Potential – How to Connect What´s Already There for Exponential Impact, synthesizes her rich, lifelong learning into a simple yet powerful mindset shift, operating system, and core practice for individuals, teams, and organizations to navigate today`s uncertainty with greater energy, ease, and effectiveness.

Daily movement and delicious food fuel Pam; yoga and contemplative practices ground her; a wonderful husband and adult sons burst her heart with gratitude, and she loves to laugh – a lot!
