Who we are

Hidden Potential Coaching & Learning was founded in 2018 by facilitator and adult educator Suzanne Pederson. We work with adult learners, businesses, and industry leaders across Western Canada to provide professional skills development training and coaching.

Started in Cranbrook, BC, Hidden Potential Coaching & Learning is now based in Calgary, Alberta. This allows us to more readily serve our clientele in BC, Alberta, and Saskatchewan.

  • Founder, Facilitator, & Coach

    We all have a story. Narratives formed through interactions, decisions and contexts. My story begins in the small agricultural community of Ponoka, Alberta. A place where my love for learning and curiosity for life was developed and nurtured through my connections to family, friends, and community.

    Since the early 1990s, I have worked as an educator and coach in schools, post-secondary institutions, and community organizations implementing skill development and employment-destined programs and projects.

    Now, as the founder of Hidden Potential Coaching & Learning, my goal is to continue supporting individuals and organizations seeking to learn, grow, and optimize their hidden potential.

    I invite you to continue exploring our website, and if you have any questions or ideas about how we could work together just click on the contact tab.
