ABOUT ME
Welcome, I am Judy Mason
Business owner, Educator, Human Resources Professional & Executive Coach
I am passionate about coaching post-secondary, health and organizational leaders helping them to move from positions of being stuck to possibilities and action.
I have been may things over the years, a nurse, a business owner, an HR Professional, university educator who now specializes in coaching post-secondary, health leaders and their teams and successful women in business.
I fell in love with coaching during COVID when for self development I took a coaching program. I was energized and immediately knew I had found my tribe. I found like-minded positive people who really wanted to help others and the world by making an impact through coaching. I met judges, health executives, entrepreneurs, and found that we all had a common thread. We loved people and wanted to make their lives better.
I had been coaching executives and leaders in the post-secondary industry with my coaching process, but fell in love with new methodologies and approaches, adopting them into my practice. I just kept learning and growing and it got better every day. I have a passion for mindfulness, emotional intelligence and found a company that has incorporated these elements and much more into their framework.
We all strive to be physically fit going the gym increasing our endurance and weights we lift to gain strength and muscle. What I love about Positive Intelligence developed by Shirzad Chamine, is that I now have tools available for clients to build their mental and emotional muscle. It has been a life changer for me and my clients.
Today’s work environments are complex and diverse, requiring leaders to navigate shifting gateposts and expectations.
Leadership is a lonely place and often leader feel like they are on a peak by themselves. Who do they turn to for their support and for strategies to help them navigate situations that lead to individual and organizational success? In our workplaces who can help us shift from self- judgement to possibilities.
Coaching can help leaders clear the mist providing clarity on the path forward and help navigate hurdles and celebrate successes.
I have worn many hats over my career, coaching brilliant, emotionally intelligent, and successful individuals and teams, helping them realize their impact and potential to become their best and productive selves.

WHY WORK WITH ME…
Coaching works because it’s all about you. When you connect with what you really want and why – and take action – magical things can happen.”

MY COACHING APPROACH
HOW I DO IT
My two approaches to coaching both begin with
understanding and listening to clients through a discovery process.
Coaching is not a one stop fits all professional. It is customized to meet and align with individuals and organizational needs and objectives. In today’s world we live in a just-in-time environment of connectivity and pressures. My approach to coaching is to meet the client where they have the greatest need.
Positive Intelligence became a passion because it provided an opportunity for clients to realize the destruction of self judgement and provided the science to support knowing and understanding of the operating system.
It brings awareness to clients of their inner judge and accomplish saboteurs, born to us as a form of survival and protection when we were young. As adults these same judges become our critiques and executioners. What Positive Intelligence offer to us is a new way of living through neuroscience providing us with an operating system that will helps us shift from judgement to gifts, opportunities and possibilities.
From my personal experience and those of my clients, the real gift is living life though love, joy and opportunities for self, others and circumstances or events.
I invite you to experience this unique way of life and living thRough love AND joy.
“Partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential, which is particularly important in today’s uncertain and complex environment. Coaches honor the client as the expert in his/her own life and work and believe every client is creative, resourceful, and whole.”

“Judy has helped me think my way through leadership challenges and transitions, becoming a grad student, becoming a mom, balancing motherhood with grad school and career transitions. Judy is a thoughtful coach with a calming presence who has helped me explore challenging situations beyond the barriers that were holding me back. Judy's coaching questions invited me to think about the challenge differently. These questions activated curiosity leading to insights into what was holding me back, opening the door to solutions and a way forward. I have experienced a lot of professional and personal change in a short time, Judy has been there to coach me through it all which I am grateful for. Thank you, Judy!”
