He specializes in leadership performance, employee engagement, team dynamics, and sustainable corporate culture transformation.

Tyler’s career began in the field of outdoor and environmental experiential education, where he observed firsthand how hands-on problem-solving and shared challenges accelerate trust and group cohesion. Transitioning into full-time corporate speaking and consulting in 1996, he pioneered a corporate facilitation methodology anchored in human learning styles. Tyler developed his proprietary Multiple Intelligences Quotient (MIQ) framework, ensuring his keynotes, activity toolkits, and training programs engage kinesthetic, spatial, linguistic, analytical, and interpersonal learning profiles with equal impact.

Beyond the mainstage, Tyler is a prolific author and educational architect. He has authored over 25 published books, activity playbooks, and corporate fables - including TEAM Building Activities, Virtually Engaged, The Philosopher and the Professor: 14-Minute Mentor, and The Business That Cared About People. To help modern leaders meet evolving workplace demands, Tyler founded The Team Building School, an on-demand certification platform for managers, and developed Rubber Chicken AI, an innovative AI assistant designed to deliver turnkey facilitation tools and team icebreakers on demand.

Tyler holds the prestigious Certified Speaking Professional (CSP) designation—an international benchmark earned by fewer than 12% of professional speakers globally - and is a inductee into the Canadian Association of Professional Speakers (CAPS) Hall of Fame (HoF). His client roster spans Fortune 500 corporations, international trade associations, and leading global brands, including Bell, TD Bank, Honeywell, YPO, Pratt & Whitney, and Exxon.

Whether opening an international conference or facilitating an executive retreat, Tyler consistently blends clean corporate humour, master storytelling, and actionable learning tools that empower organizations to build connected, resilient, and high-energy workplace cultures.
