Welcome

Hi I'm Ez Bridgman,
I'm a facilitator and coach that believes in the power of creativity and learning. I envision a world where everyone knows how to connect to their innate joy and in turn shares this vibrant energy freely. I see glimpses of this vision every day: my practice is the creation of spaces of delight, growth and discovery, for individuals and organizations, in Canada and internationally, in English, French, Spanish & Portuguese. I am known for my creativity, deep understanding of human communication, and a wide-reaching skill set spanning adult learning, design and group process, storytelling and coaching. I hold a B.A. in communication (human relations) from the Université du Québec à Montréal, a MSc in Management in social innovation contexts from HEC Montréal and a Professional and Personal Coach Certification (PPCC) from Concordia University. Welcome to my website.
