We work at the intersection of leadership, culture and strategic risk.


This is where meaningful and lasting change begins.

Aurora Leadership was founded on the belief that meaningful change is only possible when leadership and culture are ready and able to sustain it.

We see leadership as the most powerful lever and that sustained change happens in two ways:

Inner Development

By working with leaders at a deeply personal level, focusing on awareness of their values, beliefs and how they, as leaders behave, when the stakes are high and the pressure is on.

Systemic Leadership

By helping leaders become better attuned with and leading organizations from a systems perspective.

We are a leadership and culture consultancy who support leaders and executive teams with inner growth and systemic leadership to create high-performance organizations and teams.

OUR PURPOSE

To help leaders adapt and transform their relationship with risk, personally and systemically, to reach their highest potential and create lasting strategic impact. 

Our Vision

A world where values-based leadership and culture are seen as a strategic imperative to a thriving organisation.

Our Values

This sits at our centre; work that contributes to something larger than ourselves

Our Founder

 Jackie McGinn is a leadership and culture expert with more than 20 years of leadership and complex change in Lean operations, risk governance, corporate functions and other disciplines in both the private and public sectors. 

Through this work, she saw firsthand that successful transformation is directly tied to the inner development of leaders, their self-awareness, mindset and capacity to lead through complexity and uncertainty.

By connecting inner development with practical business priorities, Jackie has supported leaders at all levels to think and act differently.  She has designed and led cultural transformations that embed leadership development, behavioural change, and capability building at the core of sustained performance, strengthening resilience, aligning values, and enabling culture-powered impact. 

Jackie is a professional coach and transformational facilitator, with credentials in leadership and cultural development from Barrett Values Centre, The Leadership Circle, Human Synergistics Canada and Integral Coaching Canada. She is also a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA), holds an MBA from McGill University, and brings strong expertise in risk and governance – combining real-world business experience with a deep understanding of human dynamics and change.
