Background

About Michael Thielmann

Discovering my innate compassion to journey with people through transition led to a complete career and life-style change in 2010. I returned to school and dove into studies that explore human behaviour, personalizing a process to rewire/recondition unhealthy habits, and discover new methods to mature into a healthier future. After completing a B.S. and M.A, I left the corporate finance world in 2015 so I could apply my skills, knowledge, and gifts in an industry that focuses on social change for the betterment of our people, communities, and employers. For the past 9 years, I have been building employment programs, quantifying human behaviour change, and supervising multiple human-centred systems for at-risk, vulnerable, and newcomer people groups. I've gained immeasurable knowledge from working side-by-side with beautifully diverse individuals, and it has embedded a "We were never meant to succeed alone" foundation, and is a catalyst for my work-ethic.I believe for a healthier future, we must discover the origin of what needs to be changed. This means addressing the reality that some human-centred systems have been created with inequity, biases, and oppression. These are the tough conversations, but if we want our communities, cities, and countries to strengthen and develop, we have to start by enhancing ourselves first.
