Pauline Melnyk was a pioneer in the age of the “walkout”. She said, “Six years ago, I bravely chose to leave behind situations, jobs, relationships, and ideas that restricted and confined me in the workplace. I had the good sense to believe in myself and how change happens.” Her coaching strengths come from building healthy and resilient practices for others, workplaces and forming trust in teams and regenerative leadership approaches. She established Melnyk Consultancy, now globally recognised for knowing how change happens in organisations, and for its unique approach to training, accreditation, and certification of people skill. The consultancy takes on the challenging problems that others have been unable to solve in simple, practical ways. No matter the client’s position, values of integrity, fairness, maximisation and collaboration will help them to gain the knowledge to communicate and implement the change vision, innovate their area of work and advocate for their teams. Lead trainer and coach, Pauline Melnyk is passionate about building capacity intentionally, and with curiosity, focusing on what is right within teams and what can be increased or maximised by helping them experience happiness, wellbeing and success. Increasingly, complex problems require innovative approaches, and the whole globe is shook up; Melnyk Consultancy partners with businesses to develop healthy future state business models underpinned by respectful, agile organisational systems design. A key focus of Melnyk is to help reshape human-centric work design by implementing diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging. Melnyk creates the proposition that the client can offer their employees, even plan and execute, a reopening strategy which can determine and contribute to enterprise ambitions around technology, employee wellbeing, and human/hybrid/equitable work environments. Additionally, the company works to tackle ecological sustainability, creating capacity in roles, and building new positions to deal with unsolvable problems, scare resources, limiting beliefs, and reconstructing collective behaviours. It ignites purposeful social change and economic self-reliance, focusing on growth and success of leaders for tomorrow that transform business models and systems for future integrity and values. Melnyk is known to train, coach, and accredit individuals and teams, helping to move them from awareness to action in the journey to sustainability. All strategies and operations increase the leader’s toolbox, and their understanding that good practices or innovation in one area cannot make up for doing harm in another. Best practices in change management improve human resources approaches and employee engagement that helps businesses embed and implement change. This also creates new learning experiences designed to give the knowledge and skills needed to meet sustainability objectives. The Melnyk team are all catalysts for change and they bring people, purpose and passion together to do the work. They challenge the assumptions and beliefs and create new ‘ah-ha!’ and ‘ta-da!’ moments. It is all about working collaboratively and building capacity at the individual, team, organisation, community, or societal levels. Pauline Most Innovative Change Management Consultancy 2022 Founded in 2016 by Pauline Melnyk, Melnyk Consultancy Ltd is dedicated to supporting leaders and professionals through change and transformation. With its commitment to change management, the company made the instrumental move forward in advancing careers and competencies across sectors and industries. said, “For many years, we’ve experienced and seen systems that require change ahead of the curve. Given the opportunity to shake up thinking, we create generational shifts by assessing people, planet and profits across sectors and industries.” In small business, non-profit, industry, corporate, and government entities, sustainability is key; as strong implementors and facilitators, Melnyk helps create the ‘safe container’ to transform, be present and engaged. Pauline enjoys providing the conditions where the work is done, partnering with programme leaders, and project teams can capitalise on the functional rate of change and adaptive cascading goals. Melnyk helps transform by experiences, immersion, observation, reflection, and building relationships. Melnyk also sees value in partnering with academia to create work integrated learning opportunities for students. It pushes the boundaries on innovative funding so that students can be mentored in real work experience and to provide its stakeholders and clients with opportunities to have grassroots experiences. The company is currently working with healthcare leaders and physicians to innovate leadership in crisis, whilst paving the way to the future it wants to advance, with outcomes in business activities and diversity, equity and belonging. Pauline said, “Intrinsic to success is connecting people to passion and purpose with new ways of thinking and organising and literally attending to what is dying in the old systems by focusing on the transition ahead and capturing the knowledge and lessons learned.” Pauline finds that being based in Canada has the bonus of being able to work anywhere in the world with formal leadership champions – those who have the courage and desire to destabilise and challenge old habits and old ways of thinking. Pauline said, “Partnering with dedicated and thoughtful revolutionaries can feel like lonely work, often ignored and invisible. What keeps me focused is a deep intuition that things can be better – linking trauma informed coaching, change management, and green project management to people practices, inherent motivation, creativity, and caring about quality work environments.” She continued, “Mental health and the ability to offer your talents, ideas, and skills as gifts is the new flexibility currently searched for by those escaping the existing systems. What will become visible is how specialists, while skilled, talented, and motivated, are exhausted and demoralised. Fatigue impacts their ability to be present and available, with long-term consequences of our good intention bearing witness to what’s happened as a result of our reliance on efficiency. “We help improve skills to solve problems and develop a new implementation plan. When have you been given someone else’s plans or practices and been told to just implement them? Noticing the interconnections to the problems mean we can no longer work harder, influence decision makers, or add more resources. Transition as a process is defined by people – I am human because I belong, I participate, and I share.” Melnyk is now focused on Q1 of 2022 and human-centric design
leadership, and paving the way to the future it wants. Intentional interconnected ways are like a tapestry of the human experience: emergent strategy, agile calibration, and continuous learning. Longer term goals continue to focus on raising awareness in corporate sustainability, starting with the company’s value system and principles-based approach to doing business. That means it will continue building new awareness in organisations to operating in ways that meet fundamental responsibilities in areas of human rights, labour, environment, and anticorruption. Melnyk will be driving business awareness and action in support of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. No matter how large or small, regardless of industry, all companies can contribute to SDGs and opportunities to solve societal challenges through business innovation and collaboration.

Desert Mountain Energy is an advanced development company that has vertically integrated into the zero-carbon helium production operation in Arizona in the USA. Fundamentally, the company has been working hard to integrate an ESG program that addresses environmental factors that the company comes across during its working process, implementing equal hires practices and strict corporate governance in order to keep itself compliant. This dedication to ensured, third-party witnessed compliance is something that forms a big part of its operation, as oversight in the energy creation industry is something that is not just desirable, but necessary. Additionally, DME is one of the few publicly trading resource companies with 3 female board members, planning to power its future finishing facility with solar and hydrogen as opposed to the fossil fuels that are both traditionally incredibly toxic to the environment and fast depleting. In this manner, DME will be attaining its helium from wells that are predominantly nitrogen as opposed to producing it from gas fields whereupon this is traditionally done. DME is drilling wildcat wells looking for new fields in areas in Arizona that have never produced helium. Most North American helium companies are looking for helium in old, known, abandoned natural oil and gas fields in the Western US and Canada. The company has discovered 2 new helium fields – more than much of its competition has – setting itself apart from its competition and showing to stakeholders the ability to take the initiative that this company has. It displays a singular tenacity that is undaunted by challenge and that it plies throughout its operations, from securing new sources of energy to closing deals with important partners or investors. With helium prices having increased of late, this is more important than ever. DME, in essence, is funnelling more and more effort into client retention and outreach as a result, showing them continually that their faith in its services continuing is still a smart decision through its continued dedication to their satisfaction and its ability to persevere. With less development money going into new traditional gas fields across the board, and the depletion of the BLM storage facility in Texas that had up until recently been such a booming epicentre of industrial prowess, the impact of Covid-19 has been sorely felt in the energy sector from supply chains to new hires. Therefore, corporate resources have been a challenge to maintain across the board. It wishes to attract new, young minds to the industry, but the pandemic has made attracting new professionals difficult as not only could people meet face to face to determine compatibility, but more often than not many of these people start work from home and have remained there. Similarly, regarding supply chains, even when borders began to reopen and things became somewhat less congested, coping with the backlog and the efficiency blockers that had developed over the course of the outbreak is still something that is being felt to this day across multiple shipping routes. Best Helium Exploration & Development Company - North America A company committed to the exploration, development and production of helium, an irreplaceable and valuable gas widely used by high-tech industries. Desert Mountain Energy is an Arizona-based company with a talented and innovative team of committed people behind it. Critically, it hopes to be able to work harder than ever to step up to the plate for the recovering heliummarket, recognizing the turmoil it has gone through of late and aiding it in taking the next step towards greater success. By doing this, it hopes to be part of the solution for a global heliummarket in deficit. All this being said, it is still a proud Canadian company with a proud Canadian heritage. It will continue to use this long into the future to secure international deals and partnerships, making a vast number of friends and allies in its industry and maintaining the benefits that come from being based in Canada, such as raised risk capital. Thus, as it moves forward into 2022 and beyond, it is looking forward to moving back into pushing for new hires in order to expand its team even further with additional new perspectives and bright new voices who will shape its future. DME is incredibly sensible of the fact that the world is changing, and that in order to change and adapt alongside such things, it will need a variety of viewpoints within its ranks from whom it can pool ideas and gauge the level to which any given plan is ‘future friendly’. Each member of staff within its team works hard and with a diligence that is truly industry-leading, providing the invaluable commodity of energy to the US domestic market and knowing the company they work for like the backs of their hands in order to know where it is heading and to what end. Therefore, in the future, it hopes that new hires will let this team speak for themselves in telling them the reasons why they’d be a compelling team to join. DME can promise a familial, considerate, and intelligent environment where everyone is working towards a common goal and is equally in the know, where every voice matters, and the background of the employee does not make their opinion any more or less valid than anyone else’s. Due to this renewed hiring effort, it expects 2022 to be a busy, dynamic, and fast-moving year – and this isn’t just thanks to its ambitions in expanding the team – as it hopes that with this increase in staff it will be able to drill 7 new helium wells in the coming year in addition to bringing onboard new production in Q2. This, it hopes, will directly result in a bolstered cash flow for the company and a serious increase in productivity, product reach, and company standing within the energy sector, making itself more of a linchpin of the industry one satisfied client at a time. It also wishes to see the helium industry recovering in the coming year. With supply chains getting back on their feet and having developed an +85,000-hectare helium project in the Holbrook Basin of Northern Arizona, it has truly made itself a fiercely competitive element, its basin HQ holding the highest grades of Helium in the world. Helium, after all, is such an irreplaceable part of so many high-tech solutions all over the world, the global shortage hitting many high-income industries incredibly hard as a result and finding themselves smacked with an 135% increase in the price of crude helium over the past 12 months; DME promises to become an invaluable partner to these professionals in the years to come.

Jan22004 Best Home Healthcare Provider - Ontario Caring Touch Home Health Care Inc. is a family-owned and -operated home healthcare provider which is proud to be 100% Canadian. The company provides nurse-managed personalised home healthcare services to seniors and older adults living with disabilities. Its goal is to continuously meet the needs of both its clients and partners in its community with kindness, respect and dignity, while upholding the highest standard of excellence to improve the quality of clients’ lives. Caring Touch Home Health Care was founded on the core principle that people care for people and continuity in care builds better relationships. All its care plans are as special and unique as its clients, as it gives the families it cares for its caring touch and becomes an extension of their family. Caring Touch director, Nicole Troiano said, “We believe that quality care must address both the emotional and physical health of an individual. This philosophy drives our entire team and has allowed us to build strong long-lasting relationships with all our clients and their families.” The Caring Touch team is determined to take the extra time and effort to get to know their prospective clients and families so they can properly address their every concern and personalise each care plan to meet their needs. The company believes its care starts with understanding each unique situation, concern and care need. Its carers listen with patience to help clients and their families make better choices and informed decisions. Caring Touch’s philosophy is simple: to create a safe, happy and healthy home environment for its clients. The company is highly selective in the type of caregiver it chooses to be part of its team and send to a client’s home. It understands that clients have different dynamics, and it respectfully identifies this in choosing the right caregiver. Nicole tells us, “Our team makes the Caring Touch family what it is, and we are extremely proud of the achievements of our staff. We all work together to help our clients by providing the best possible care with respect, dignity and compassion.” Unfortunately, the elderly population has always been impacted by isolation, and although COVID-19 has increased their isolation, the media has given social isolation among seniors a voice. Nicole said, “This newfound awareness is highly significant because seniors have felt overlooked by society for decades. The sad part about this is we talk about what we can do for our seniors; in reality, not much has been done to accommodate socially isolated seniors to improve their “Golden Years”.” Caring Touch is on a mission to make Ontario’s elderly feel less lonely with its care services. It has also been working on its Flourish Wellness and Enrichment Centre for the elderly in its community because it understands that they need a place to feel connected, welcomed and stimulated both mentally and physically through therapeutic programmes.
