Guiding You Back To What Makes You Feel Alive.
For more than 25 years, I have been deeply engaged in the caregiving experience first supporting my mother, and later my wife, Karen. This lived experience has given me a practical and nuanced understanding of the emotional, physical, and systemic realities caregivers face every day. Caregiving is often framed as an act of love, but it is equally a complex role that demands resilience, adaptability, and sustained support. Through years of navigating healthcare systems, managing long-term care, and balancing personal well-being with responsibility, I have seen firsthand how easily caregivers can become overlooked within the care ecosystem. Karen remains the inspiration behind this work. Her belief that creativity sustains the human spirit continues to inform my approach, especially in recognizing that quality of life matters at every stage of care. These experiences have shaped my commitment to advocating for caregivers as essential partners in health outcomes not as an afterthought. Today, I work to support caregivers and collaborate with healthcare professionals and organizations to promote more compassionate, inclusive, and sustainable models of care. My focus is on ensuring caregivers are seen, supported, and equipped because when caregivers are strengthened, the entire care system benefits.

This isn't therapy, it's good to great. Helping leaders and high performers show up at their best - consistently. Founder/CEO of Lyceum - The Mental Gym. Husband. Dad of 2 boys.
Just like we go to a gym for our bodies, Lyceum is for your mind. It’s a mental gym – live-online, coach-led, group “workouts” together with other smart, growth-driven leaders and high-performers who want to show up as the best versions of themselves. Cory envisions a world where people proactively – not reactively – manage their mental health and consistently grow as individuals and leaders, creating a ripple effect of positive change. Working with people from brands like Scotiabank, Nestle, Hilton Hotels, and LuluLemon, he realized that even in the non-stop, demanding reality of modern work and life, people don’t just want to cope, they want to thrive – but they lack a modern, relevant solution designed for them. Lyceum was built for people who wanted something different – not therapy, not self-help, not your typical corporate leadership training either – but a relatable, down-to-earth space built for real growth and performance. A place to connect, strengthen their mindset, elevate as authentic leaders, and proactively prioritize their mental health and well-being – moving them from good to great together.
