Who I Work With
Regulated resource or energy companies heading into a licensing hearing, environmental assessment, community consultation process, or a major project or organizational transition.
Organizations that need senior regulatory and communications judgment, or those needing help to develop plans or strategies.
Business leaders who want to create unique experiences for their customers, employees or sponsors.
Teams and individuals who need to develop their own talents to share stories and influence change.
Core
Regulatory & Stakeholder Communications
Hearing preparation and commission-facing documents, spokesperson and witness training, community engagement programs, and government relations support.
Built on two decades inside CNSC hearings, northern Saskatchewan community relations, and government relations at every level.
How I Help
Strategy
Mapping Strategic Focus
Before anything gets drafted: mapping the full engagement journey across a project or process, identifying where trust and understanding break down, and building the narrative architecture the tactical work then executes.
Differentiator
Experience Design
Applying real experience-design discipline to how a hearing room, open house, or major engagement is designed to be experienced, not just delivered.
Journey mapping, story architecture, environmental and spatial thinking.
What Else I Can Do For You
Resiliency Preparedness
Planning, training, and tabletop exercises, built from real experience on a corporate crisis management team.
Operational Excellence
Untangling how work actually gets done, and building the case for a better way to do it.
Security Planning
Audits, access-control strategy, and physical risk reviews for sites and facilities.
Public Campaigns
Advocacy, campaign strategy, and messaging that moves decision-makers at every level of government.
Community Building
Getting everyone involved in making your community a better place through fundraising and special events.
Training & Coaching
Preparing you and your team to present to the public and speak with authority.
Why Atomic Strategies
Most regulatory consultants know the process. Fewer have actually run community engagement, sat on a corporate crisis team, and helped set the strategy a project has to defend, all from inside the same regulated industry.
That's the gap between checking the compliance boxes and actually earning the room's trust.
Two Decades, One Industry
Technical communications, corporate security, and corporate strategy at a major Canadian nuclear energy company, providing deep fluency in how a large regulated resource company actually runs.
Proven Track Record
Drafted commission-facing documents and trained spokespeople through real CNSC re-licensing hearings. It's not just theory.
From Northern Saskatchewan to Ottawa
Years of hands-on community engagement and environmental-assessment work, with real relationships still in place.
Crisis Tested
Key participant of a corporate crisis-management team, and manager of a business-continuity plan, including through the COVID shutdown.
Cost Disciplined
Solo-led a security technology overhaul that delivered roughly $250K/year in savings.
Audience Connected
From blogging and podcasting to producing world-class fundraising events, experienced in the different means through which you can reach and impact your stakeholders.
