About us

 Peggy Mann - Principal, The Mann Group

___________________

I have spent my life studying how systems work and what it takes for them to truly thrive. I trained as a gymnast growing up and studied how culture gets built and dismantled in university. In my early twenties I did a volunteer placement in Nepal. The experience changed me, and I stayed involved with the Canadian sending organization as they moved from doing things for communities to building capacity with them. It was a powerful shift that has stayed with me. 

For 25 years inside large, complex systems - primarily the Canadian health system -  I've led work that navigates the space between good strategy and real practice. Peer support. Workforce planning. Hospital openings. Occupational health, and employee wellness. People strategies rooted in consultation. Trauma-informed programs to improve worker safety. In every role, the question was the same: what does it actually take for people, and the systems they work within, to thrive?

Coaching called me as the discipline that honors that question most honestly. I am a Certified Executive Coach, currently enrolled in a Masters of Executive and Organizational Coaching at Royal Roads University. Coaching assumes people already hold the wisdom. The work is to create the conditions for it to emerge.

I've brought all of that together with The Mann Group. 

Outside this work, I am a mom, a partner, a gardener, and a walker, with a spiritual practice that keeps me grounded in what matters. I come to this work as someone who is still walking the path.

 Your good work deserves to reach the people it is meant for. 

That's the ground we walk together.
