Dr. Brenda Mishak

Senior Facilitator
Ph.D.

Admittedly, I am a bit of a firecracker. I’m a nurse practitioner, assistant professor at the University of Saskatchewan and an Organizational Development Facilitator with Morris Interactive. Fortunately, there are similar themes to all of my work: If you want to solve a problem, you need to assess, diagnose, plan, action the plan, evaluate and keep going. In short, I follow the quality improvement strategy of plan, do, study, act. Whether it is conflict resolution, employee development, or policy reviews - they all follow a similar process.

My past career as a senior executive in Saskatchewan and Manitoba Health regions and my PhD in organizational development helped me to learn the important keys to develop employees and run a smooth organization. I bring this experience when I facilitate a group or work with communities to develop a project (plus I like to bring a little fun).

I’m not afraid to tackle challenges and I like to throw in some positive energy. As I gently nudge group participants into self-reflection, I’m known for saying, “It’s easy to look out a window, harder to look in a mirror.”
