Gordon was educated in the United Kingdom and states that his most valuable learnings have come from his own life experiences. A seasoned public speaker and Certified Estate Advisor (C.E.A.) his presentations to the business, health-care and community group sectors help bring awareness and empowerment on the importance of utilizing our own life stories to benefit others through contribution.

By sharing his own personal story of loss Gordon shows how his life turned 360° and a completely new vocation path was brought to fruition from the embers in both a meaningful, purposeful way. He maps out how his Big Idea (The Bear Story) came to be, and gives a brick by brick account of the re-building process.

Through the use of storytelling he gives his audience the opportunity to self-reflect and to catch the pivotal turning-point moments in their own lives. To not only catch those “turning points” but to honour them as gifts, the guiding lights to the future foundations that they are building.

Gordon’s story fosters motivation and vision to continue building on our life foundations brick by brick… Life experience after life experience, until that particular idea is formed into creation. Bringing home the reality that we can learn from everything in life, and that it’s not only the good things in life that shapes us but sometimes, even more so, it can be the bad things ( the disappointments etc.) that transforms us.
